Used 2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Review
Edmunds expert review
Though hardly inexpensive, the C-Class is appealing due to its variety of configurations and prestigious name.
What's new for 2003
Changes are light this year. Mercedes' "4Matic" all-wheel-drive system is now available for sedan and wagon models (the C32 sport sedan being the lone exception) and the C230 Sport Coupe's supercharged engine has been revised for greater efficiency and lower emissions. A six-speed manual gearbox is available for the C320 models, and a supercharged C230 Sport Sedan is now available as well.
