    Feels very substantial for a small car. Very reliable. Fun to drive -- great pick-up in the higher rpm range above 40 mph.

    With over 167,000 miles on my 2004 and synthetic Mobil 1 oil since the beginning my car is my second home and more reliable than most of my so called friends. Commuting, traveling, or just cruising is a delight in my C230 nicknamed "Jett" (supercharger). My first Mercedes when I turned 40 and will not be my last. Would love to get the 4-door version in the future. Buy it you won't be disappointed, if you take care of it.

    The MB C230 is extreamly fun to drive and an absolute pleasure to own. Numerouse safty and comfort features reasure the driver and give it a smooth ride usually associated with larger cars, coupled with the agility of a small sports coupe.

    Hummer of a car

    This is a"second" car ...just presonal transportation around town. I always liked the flexibility of a hatchback.Considering that this is the least expensive Mercedes it doesn't lack for features or quality. The need for premium gas is offset by rather decent mileage. And ...its a lot of fun to drive !

    A fun drive between costly repairs.

    The 1.8l Kompressor is impressive but overshadowed by a much worse than average reliability rating. Oil leaks, coolant leaks, oil in the water (blown head gaskets), warped aluminum heads are among the many nightmares of a bank depleting partnership with this 2004 gem.
