Used 2002 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Consumer Reviews
C230 Kompressor
The only problems to date have involved error messages regarding the traction control/ESP. The dealer claimed to have fixed the problem with a new cable, but they have returned. Beyond that the car is an absolute joy to drive, The torque from the engine is pletiful and the gas mileage (with 4 adults) has been over 32 mpg on the highway.
Could have been a contender
I ordered my C32 after having seen only pictures of one from Europe, and after having enjoyed my 1999 C43 so much that I knew this new AMG was going to be the cat's balls. I was a little disappointed, the steering is decent for a Benz, but it has a bit too much understeer out the box. Living in Boston, the car is very uncomfortable on imperfect roads, it just doesn't soak up bumps the way a Benz should. It's also had a big handful of small problems, too many for a Benz in fact.

Mercedes 320
Well designed and confortable to drive. Good handling with smooth highway ride. Excellent climate control system. Reasonably gutsy engine.
C320 wagon
Our MB C320 wagon is a wonderful car. It has plenty of power, is loaded with safety features,and can swallow tons of luggage. Build quality is typical MB: no squeaks, no rattles, and little body flex. Material quality is excellent. And the car handles very well, with great brakes and admirable cornering.
Don't care what it would have cost
Where do you get this kind of performance without MB or BMW? I have a new Corvette convertible, have owned Ferrari's and Porsche's too. Loved them all and the Corvette is not exactly the crude vehicle that others consider it... but I want another C32. The M3 is a totally different car. Both good but this was perfect for my wife when she wanted to ditch her 2000 S class Sport.
