Great Value

Original owner and I am very pleased with this vehicle. With the exception of a couple of minor problems (both covered under warranty), this vehicle has been trouble-free. The ride, handling, safety features and level of equipment is great, as is the MPG (27- 30). In addition, the costs incurred to maintain this vehicle has been reasonable, probably because the FSR seems to extend the time/mileage between service visits.

Can't get over how well thought out this car is both in driving terms as well as maintenance. Will own nothing but MB if finances allow. And with used C classes so cheap why not?

Great but why latent design defects?

My first Mercedes and it has been a fine car. Our dealer is nothing but first class. I enjoy driving this car so much that I had to buy my wife her own new E 320 (2004) as nothing really compares to driving a MB. Considering the new 2006 ML 350 as a replacement but recent nagging latent design defects and poor support from MB USA are making me look at BMW. The steering wheel leather is falling apart, the headliner has pulled away from the C pillars, and the rear window regulators/motors have gone out several times. And this car is always garged, no one rides in the back, and is treated like a baby. It should hold up much better, like a Honda or Toyota.

Love this car (my baby), brought brand new. No problems. Door regulator failed under warranty and battery recalled under warranty. New battery is 6 yrs old and perfect. Beautiful car to look at when freshly washed. Interior classy. Proud to drive it. Most people think it is much more expensive then it was. Little slow in acceleration but if put the auto trans in 3rd or 4th gear very satisfying. Very smooth engine, very solid , safe cabin. Love it. Plan to keep it 'til it starts mechanical problems.
