Pretty Car, Bad Tranny
I like the car, I think the alloy rims and sound system are unbelievable. My 6-speed tranny went out at 258 miles and I am still very bitter about it. I average 31.5 MPG and get looks from people who think I spent a million bucks (it's black). I think the car is fun, it's the nicest car I have ever owned, but it's been in the shop 3 times in the last 3 months.

Excellent Benz for the money
I had this car two weeks ago, and it is a blast to drive it. Excellent power from the supercharged 4 cylinder. Quality interior finish.
Quality at a Value price
My wife and I have owned 4 BMW's and 3 Saabs over the past fifteen years and finally made the step into a Mercedes. We're glad we did. The rock solid feel of this car is unlike the others we've owned.The Kompressor has plenty of power and we got 34mpg on an interstate trip we took the first week of owning it. Computer is great with access on the steering to all controls. The seats are very supportive when you're throwing it through the esses. Fit, finish and paint are superb. Dealing with the Mercedes dealership was a pleasure.I would highly suggest you drive the C230 4 door if you are in the market for a car of this type.
Fun and Value
I've owned my C230 Kompressor sedan for almost 7 years now and it's as fun to drive as ever. I've got the six speed manual transmission, so the car is really responsive jetting around town, yet retains a smooth luxurious feel on the highway in the higher gears. I haven't had any major repairs in 7 years, though the lock mechanism on the left rear door has just started to malfunction within the last month. All in all a great car, that's been lots of fun to drive, at a very good value, if you consider I paid around $32K for it and drove it for almost seven years.
