C Stands for Crappy/Cheap

Never buy the first model year of a new car model. My C280 has been a money sink hole. From Check Engine Light to instrument panel light bulbs, ignition coils, wiring harness, .... Would not buy another Mercedes. Reliability is ZERO; C is for Crappy and Cheap. Breaks have to be replaced every 25000 miles- that's pads and rotors.

Horrible car

To call Mercedes a quality automobile is a statement by delusional owner trying to sell it! At 60,000 miles car was on third transmission, second windshield wiper motor unit, computer, air mass sensor, engine bay wire harness. At the end air con. Quit and during a rain storm the wiper failed again, resulting in loss of visibility and subsequent accident destroying the car. I would never again even consider MB !

One of my favorite cars ever.

The C280 is one of the most underrated sport sedans out there. In straight-line acceleration the 194-hp (199 lb-ft torque) inline-6 easily surpasses the 3-series BMW and Audi A4. At cruising freeway speeds of 100mph+ it feels as stable as 65. The build quality is bank-vault solid; every thing else just feels flimsy after you drive a Benz. I bought mine at 78k and at 136k the only major repairs have been a mass airflow sensor ($500).

Disappointing C280

The car is ok but not better than anything else. Certainly not as comfortable or quick as some GM cars I have owned and way below my son's BMW in every respect. And less features too.

Best car I've ever owned. Best car in its class. Best service I've ever gotten in the automotive industry. Best re-sale value around. Since the new C- Class looks and feels like a freaking Toyota, finding one of these (94-97) in good, serviceable condition is a gift. Interior and exterior have held up (still have original floor mats-new ones suck) beyond my wildest expectations. It is a shame that MB has reduced its new C-Class to the level of a Lexus or an Acura.
