When I picked up this car the salesman said that I'd be getting all the build quality and safety features of the very expensives MB's. I thought "sure". He was right. My other two previous cars had both been back to the dealer for repairs in the first six months. Not this one. There's just something about a Mercedes that connects the owner to it. No wonder people keep them for years and hundreds of thousands of miles. I'm still finding small features now even after 6 months.

Handles like a dream. Great pickup, great gas mileage for a high performance car. Comfortable seats - surprisingly roomy in the back. Stereo system is excellent has Bose speakers -- great sound.

The C230 replaced a 2002 launch edition MINI cooper. The C230 is a much different car, more comfort, no where near the razor edge handling of the MINI. MINI had reliability problems from day 1. Service could never fix the issues. MB dealer treated the customer fairly with respect, unlike MINI service. Leagues more power than MINI, darn near the same mileage.

This is the best car I have ever had. I love getting into it and driving it every day. This is my second one. I bought the first one two months before, but some one rear ended me on the freeway and smashed my car into the car in front of me. My first one was totalled, but I was not hurt. I replaced it with the exact same model and even chose the same color, Iridium silver. I am sure this wonderful car saved my life in that accident. We have 3 Mercedes C-230 coupes in our family. I wish Mercedes would continue making this wonderful car forever.
