Review
Love this machine, traded my 99 C280 for it which had 130,000 miles and had been bullet proof. This one I got certified pre-owned with 20,000 miles. It's been excellent so far. Only thing I would have liked 60/40 split rear seat and bigger better room for entering the car for rear seat passengers and coming from the C280 3L engine, I did feel the small lack of oumph the 20hp or so drop made to the 2.5L... other that that, sweet car. Pros are the suspension, seats, great 7 spd auto transmission and silky smooth ride, not too rough for type of wheels. Fit and Finish is still top- notch. Paint is ok but it does have some orange peel..car is black so LIQUID GLASS is only way to polish!!

Review
I am hoping to inquire about resolution of the fuel problem the previous woman, Kim, who posted her review here just before me had. I am experiencing the same problem and my dealership can't figure it out. Can you email me the details of what the dealer did to fix your car, to get rid of the fuel odor?

Have a recall on the electronics and fuel/ignition system.

2007 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C280 4MATIC Luxury 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 5A)
Review
City and Highway driving. Live where it does snow - 4 Seasons. All wheel drive a great feature. If you own the rear wheel drive version or any other rear wheel drive car and live where there is snow, winter tires are a must, enough said.
Favorite Features
Rock solid performance on the road and whisper quiet. You are driving a luxury car. The way the car steers is worth mentioning, it is just superb. The car feels like a German Engineered car that has road manners. Different from a BMW less sporty to the feel, chose the MB because of its manners
Suggested Improvements
CD Changer is large and in the glove compartment. Technology advances have already fixed that issue.

Review
I purchased my car June 2007. Received a great deal! 6 months after purchase, I started experience strong fuel order. I took the car in about 3 times for this and on the third time, they finally figured it out when my husband took it in. Just last year, Dec. 2008, I took my car on a family vacation to Florida. It stopped on us 2 times in Florida. Each time it was taken to a dealer and everyone assured me they fixed the problem. My husband was 50 miles away from home, guess what? It stopped on him again. I have no confidence in the MB product and refuse to drive it outside of city limits in fear it will strand me somewhere. Need to get a new car. It's only 2 years old!!
Favorite Features
Rear window sun screen, sensory wipers, sunroof, smart key and decent trunk space.
Suggested Improvements
No good in snow. Has a delayed acceleration, and oil change $200. MB needs to take more responsibility for their product.

Review
This car is very sharp. Styling is sleek and eye catching. Compliments are fairly common. The interior is very comfortable up front and provides excellent opportunity for the best driving position. The back seats are fine for 2 small to mid sized people. That's the way a "C" class is designed. If you want more in back get an "E". Trunk is amazingly spacious. One touch functions for windows and sunroof are a bonus as well as the rear power sunshade. Handles tight with very responsive braking. 201 HP is just enough to get by, but it would have been much better to put the Kompressor supercharger on the 6 cylinder for another 25 or so HP. Get all weather tires, Yokohama S- Drive.
Favorite Features
Styling and handling are the premier characteristics of this car. It will get up at high speeds and "sit" on the road. At 120 mph it handles tightly and rides like 65 mph. Trunk space is fantastic. Sun roof, rear sun shade, and one touch features. Overall driving experience is excellent.
Suggested Improvements
Put the Kompressor supercharger on the same 2.5 24v V6. Give it another 25- 30 HP. Offer a higher end stereo option like an AMG designed system.

Review
Drives like a German Luxury Car should. Rock solid on the road, responsive steering, quiet. C-Class is not a large car and understanding that up front, not a negative. Trunk is large, 4Matic a huge plus in the winter. Fit and finish is superb and after 3 or 4 years of ownership you are still driving a Mercedes and not a used car.
Favorite Features
Build quality, ride, comfort, quiet.
Suggested Improvements
5 CD player in glove compartment a poor placement but a very minor point.

Review
This little car feels like a very big car. The size is perfect for me - male 240 pounds. I'm getting 30 mpg on the highway (at 60 mph), and it rides and handles like a much more expensive vehicle. I couldn't be happier with this car - it is the best automobile I've ever owned.
Favorite Features
The ride and the way it handles. Plus the mileage is very nice surprise for a 4 awd.

Review
Just when I had put 7,000 miles on this car, I took it for its first service. Was told I needed new tires, new brakes and rotors. The tires were dryrotted from sitting on the lot - the dealership effectively said that was my problem. When questioned re: rotors, they knew nothing as well. $1800 dollars later, i'm selling the car. Never again.

Review
I fell in love with the looks of this car from the start! It has plenty of power at top end..but is terrible when you hit the pedal from a stop. The transmission is a select shift so this is your compensation. My biggest complaint is that it pulls to the right and the dealer has yet to correct. I have a hard time keeping it on the road because of this! Don't care for the light blue window tint.
Favorite Features
Body style, wide rear wheels, stereo.
Suggested Improvements
Tranny! A dealer that will correct the problem without six trips back and forth with no resolution! Storage compartment between driver seat and passenger..flip it towards the passenger side!

Those of you who mentioned it's not safe in the winter -- Get Snow Tires!!! If you want to drive a luxury car with rear wheel drive then you're going to need the extra grip in snow! It's perfect in the ice/snow with my snow tires. In nicer weather, with the performance tires, it's even better: smooth, easy to handle, and compact! Love it!!

Sporty appeal, interior chrome features, AMG features (exhaust pipe)
