Nice car to ride but very unreliable

I liked the C250 because its interior and sporty ride, however, is very unreliable, mainly on its electronics controls, which fail and leave you with very expensive repairs ( key start does not function or the transmission control, etc) I decided to sell mine because I lost confidence in the car and did not know when was going to be the next costly repair. I had also an MLB320 and that was worse in reliability. I am done with Mercedes.

Practical, beautiful, slim and luxurious

2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 Luxury 4MATIC 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 7A)
7 of 16 people found this review helpful

Despite the fact that this is the shortest luxury car available, it is extremely luxurious and refined, with very good handling (excepting steering), ride, and impeccable fit and finish. It is very refined, the most refined car I have owned (and I also own a BMW and a Porsche). The configuration of the car: length; visibility; practical trunk, folding back seats and 4 doors; coupled with perfect proportions and 4 wheel drive make it a car for all seasons, both figurative and literally.

Great car. Love driving this C250. It's missing only one thing 4Matic AWD. Other than that It's a wonderful car and fun to drive.

Great option to drive in eco mode or sport. Reliable and dependable along with fashionable style. It's my best accessory! I'm 5'4 and love compact style.

I purchased my 2012 C250 certified with only 9,000 miles in 2014. It now has 32,000 miles and is tamely driven by me in the summer months, and it is the best Mercedes I have owned. Previously I had a 07 C280 4matic and a 98 C280K, and this one is my favorite hands down.
