The last 9 months have been great thanks to my C230. Everyone needs to own this affordable, stylish car. Because I am a teacher,everyone takes a double look at me when I cruise into the parking lot. If they only knew, that their vehicle cost more than mine! The quality of the German car is incredible. It's a Mercedes; need I say more?

Bought this used a few months ago - paid $8500 (vs. NADA book value of $13k) for a white w202. Only repair was new tires and alignment. Car drives like a dream - stable at any speed, great low-end power from the V6 and good acceleration on the highway. This is the 5th MB my family has owned and my 2nd. We've always been impressed with their products and now I remember why.

Not a "cookie cutter" car owner of many MBZ

Hubby got this for me 4 years ago at 142k absolutely love this car, great on gas fun to drive and after adding 40k to miles just had to replace timing chain. This one has never failed me. I have the sport package and anyone who gets in it just says "wow". Can not even list all the MBZ have owned over 28 years together but told him this one is it .

C280

Tight and solid always. The 6 cyl C280 is a lot more refined that the 4 cyl models, which I would avoid. These cars show every sign of going the distance, as did their predecessors.

I love my Mercedes-Benz C 230. It is my first car and I could not be more happy with everything. It is a great ride, very dependable, fast, and comfortable. The interior is cozy and roomy enough for all my friends! The features are fabulous and I enjoy the interior layout. The car runs great and gets great gas mileage (32 hwy). The pedals are touchier than a Lexus, but it was easy to get used to that. I commute to school and I don't mind the drive now! I am very happy with this car and plan on being a loyal Mercedes-Benz customer due to their high quality and expertise in luxury.
