Where else can you get a car that will smoke a prior gen M3, get 4 doors and take the family out to dinner? Great engine, lots of torque and easy to modify.
Outstanding, high performance automobile

Great fun to drive. All the power speed and handling you can use on the highways (and byways) in a package that looks and feels fantastic without attracting undue attention from the "athorities".
Love this car!

I drove an SLK 320 and traded it in for c320 because I wanted a car that was more practical. I don't know why there are bad reviews about the car, I guess some of these people were unlucky and got the defects. Anyhow, I love this car! It is smooth, luxurious, and comfortable. I can't ask for more! I haven't had any problems since.

I spent five hours at the Audi dealership haggling and became so upset I called up Mercedes and they had me in the car of my dreams in an hour and a half. I didn't expect my first car to be manual living in LA but I love it. Its so quiet and corners better than an A4 (also has 20 more horsepower). Chose the car over IS300, 325i and A4 and have no regrets. It has a very sporty yet distinctive look. Love the four door sedan with the feel of a coupe.

A great car. Although considered a compact car it feels like a full size sedan on the road. Comfortable and fun to drive with many great features. The air conditioner is the best, very smooth ride, excellent braking, and sound system. I love seeing the Mercedes Benz hood ornament while sitting behind the wheel, like I need to be reminded that I'm driving a Mercedes

After test driving several cars in this class, the C230 was my hands down choice. The visibility for city driving is very good, the car handles well, and as usual, Mercedes packs luxury with safety and sportiness well. I plan to drive this car 100000+ miles, I will update my review annually.
Happy Owner!

I purchased the C320 4 Dr. this car is awesome! I owned a BMW for many years, it was time to purchase another car...so I thought I would take a look at the Mercedes! What a great surprise, from the moment I sat in this car it fit like a glove. The quality of the car through and through. I have now owned my car for 4 months. I really enjoy getting in and just driving. I am very impressed. I recommend this car to anyone who wants a great quality vehicle, excellent proformance and a sporty feel, the price is not bad either.

We bought used with 12500 miles under $21K. List was over $32K . Car is only 15 months old and has remainder of 4/50 warranty including full maintanence! Is a terrific used car value, but not so good resale if buy new. Dealer disclosed all history and car has never had any warranty issues, just flex maintenance. MB got it right on C-class with regard to quality issues. Car handles and drives great and gets great gas mileage rated 23/30 but we are getting about 22 city and 35 highway! 8 air bags and esp makes for very safe ride. No rattles and very solid feel. Hatchback is great for getting big things in and out. Considering an 06 Civic EX is over 21 this is great value for your money

The Mercedes-Benz C230 Sedan has a lot going for it. It is a reasonably priced car with great build quality, great gas mileage, and more comfort and elbow room than the 2000 BMW 3-Series I used to drive.

Had car for 10 months. Had BMW5. Now BMW7 and X5. Considered BMW3 but chose this car. Much smoother ride than BMW3. Much quieter than BMW3. 95% of time I'm not cornering the hell out of the car when BMW3 would have an edge so why compromise for a bumpy and noisy BMW3 ride? Nothing's for free, but this car has exceptional balance of acceleration at all speeds. Compressor w/ a small engine but great gas mileage of 22 to 30. Has full safety features and feels that way too. MUST get full leather and full power seats. Cloth is cheap. Exterior rear styling is a bit quirky. Twice in shop for water coolant level detection - tolerable. Mars red color is totally special. One of my favorite cars ever.
Want a fun car??

This is a great car. I test drove many vehicles before I picked the C-230 Coupe and I am glad I chose the MB. The car is quick (not insanely fast), nimble, and best of all, gets great gas milage. I had my 1st scheduled maintanence and there was nothing wrong with the car. One thing that did happen though was a flat tire due to a pot hole, during which it took almost a week for the dealer to find the Z rated tire. Other than that, no complaints on the car.

i've enjoyed the presence of this fine German Automobile for almost two years now and everytime I drive it I feel the same "excitement" as day one. Yes, Mercedes managed to make a very UNIQUE car not so unique by giving every entry level C-class the same aero-dynamic kit, but hey, it doesnt have the same AMG (brembo made brakes), hand built 3,2l supercharged V6 engine, suspension, wheels, etc... so to me its still very sepcial and with a few aesthetic upgrades can once again be "unique" as day one.

Changed from an 00 Camry to this car is a whole new experience. Has power when you need it, yet very fuel economical, safety features, luxury look, and best of all, it's a Benz! Bought the Premium Package, gotta love the Bose sound system. The only two drawbacks I can find is the visual of the back, sometimes tricky to see when you want to change lane, and also the non-power seat is hard to adjust sometimes.
Nice car but too small

We really like the car. It has good power and looks great. The star on the hood gets respect. Don't plan on having this car be your family car. It's just too small. Great as a single persons car or a married couple. The car has never left us stranded but has been in the shop often. We're going to trade down to a Chevy. We're also concerned about the cost of repairs after the warranty expires.
Fun car to drive!

Although the gas mileage isn't quite as good as my two previous Mercedes (a 1988 E-320 and a 2001 E-320) the performance -- steering, cornering, acceleration, and stopping characteristics are much better; therefore, making this C-320 Sport Sedan much fun to drive. Also, I think, it looks terrific; particularly, with the 17 inch differential rim size front and rear wheels. The wheels combined with high performance tires along with a sport-tuned suspension system provide outstanding road manners. Oh, by the way, ODE2JOY is the SC license tag that this car carries.

My 2004 C230K is my very first Mercedes-Benz and I have no idea how I can ever go back to regular cars. This car performs like no other I have driven. It handles better then any car in its class! Go test drive it and see for yourself! It was love at first sight. It is a little pricey but it is worth every penny. I love my car so much and I get so many compliments.
I see a lot of people take 2nd looks.

There might be other entry level luxury cars out there, but the C230 Kompressor stands out. Not to say it's perfect, but the Audi and BMW 3 series are on the street in numbers comparable to HONDA. If you want something that makes you feel like you dont have an everyday commom care, this is a perfect choice. I see people staring at it and get lots of compliments.

Overall, this year with this car has been great. Mercedes builds a car that you truly want to keep and feel good every time you get into it. I will definitely buy another mercedes. The service dept has done a tremendous job and take wonderful care of their customers.

Over all the care is nice to drive. It handles well. We had some trouble with leaks in refrigeriant and transmition fluid. The dealer did a good job in repairing them so far. If the leaks or fixed we are happy with the car.

For those that are driven! Step on the gas of the C32 AMG and experience the overwhelming power of the blown 3.2 liter v-6 engine. the handling characteristics of this car give you confidence to push it even further. When in trouble, braking is excellent and stops on a dime. The fit and finish on this car is over the top. For under $60,000 US this is the best value on the road today for a near perfect street racer.

230 comes std w/17" wheels, sports suspension, 8 airbags, leather-BMW does NOt! For 10K less you can get a reliable, safe, high quality car. A4- many mechanical problems, no steering wheel controls. Passat not only holds it value better, but better value overall than A4. New VolvoS40 too family/Jetta 1.8T like, Lexus/TSX glorified Toyota/HOndas w/higher price. Saab Not hold its value! Al trim nice changer if grew up w/wood interiors. Yes, BMW comes std w/Al trim now

Excellent car for the money. I checked BMW 3 series, Lexus IS 300 and Volvo S60. So far the best drive and comfort and value compared to mentioned. The dealer was kind of not to MB standard. They need to change there customer handling procedures. Over all A great car!Go buy it over BMW or Lexus,

I bought this car about a week ago. I didn't really test drive anything else in the class, I didn't have to. Right away I loved it, the sleek design, interior comfort, Mercedes Quality, and most of all the price. My question is why is the car getting the cold shoulder with the experts? Almost every expert rating including this site doesn't like the car and it has recieved bad marks compared to The Audi, BMW, and Lexus comparable model.

Having grown tired of the SUV's and pickup trucks I've driven for the past 12 years, I started shopping for a new sedan. I wanted high quality, fuel efficiency, driving comfort, and that 'something special'. After test-driving the C230K with auto transmission, CD changer, heated front seats and the sunroof package in exterior black, I was sold. The Mercedes Benz of Alexandria sales team gave me a good price for the automobile and a surprisingly good price for my SUV trade-in. Today, for the first time in 18 years, I hopped in the car to take a drive just for the fun of it.
