it's a K.O.! when i test drove it for the 1st time,i was so impressed the way it drives and hugs the road. pretty solid!i didn't bother to go try it’s rival counterparts. it makes a solid thug noise every time i close the doorto show how well it was made! it's sporty but too low! beware...didn't realized that until i hit a parking concrete barrier just few days after getting the car and if you or have a passenger that has a problem getting up on a seat that low, it's going to be a little hard for them to get in and out of the car. my only gripe on this car is the storage,it's really small.it's a struggle to fit my golf clubs on the trunk and i just lay it on back my passenger seat.

'12 C250 unidentified groan

Hello: I have a '12 C250 luxury sedan with 12K miles. I occasionally hear a groaning sound that occurs intermittently. It's usually noticeable when the car is downshifting to a lower gear. I've taken it to the dealer twice. Though they've reproduced the sound, and not been able to positively identify it, they say that the car is operating "normally." I'm doubtful. Has anyone else experienced this. If so, what was it and how was it corrected. Thanks.

So I used to be all about BMW and nothing else. I came into some money and started looking at these a little bit because I was getting tired of the same old design with BMW. So far this car has lasted way longer than all of the BMW's Ive had, there has been no major mechanical issues so far. My BMW would have been out of commission by now hands down, I get compliments on the car all the time, and after I installed my Amp, Sub, and Apple CarPlay I pretty much lived in that thing! I can't wait to hear what the whole driving experience is like after im done sound deadening it. Anyway, this car is a total must buy!! It has the take-off power you'll need (and even a little extra with the sport option), the flashiness to keep everyone looking, and is very reliable. To all BMW owners out there, you will not be let down if you decide to make the switch like I did trust me!!!!!!!

Perfect Car

My 2012 C350 is the perfect car. Solid, comfortable, quick with fine steering and handling and excellent brakes. The car has been very reliable and gets decent gas mileage. It is now 8 years old and feels brand new. I have no plans to replace it anytime soon. The newer C Class Mercedes cars don’t come close. The 300 horsepower 6 cylinder engine makes all the difference! It is a true driver’s car.

Terrific Ride, but no excuse for plastic seats

The performance, comfort and style of this vehicle are delightful, and my friends are jealous. I love the responsiveness of the accelerator, the way the transmission holds the car back going down a steep hill, and the traction and stability on curves. Best yet, long drives are not a problem with the C-class. It's a joy to be behind the wheel of this thing.
