Use to have a Lincoln Navigator, and we loved it! Lost it to a drunk driver. Then bought an LT Tahoe, which we still have, and love, but missed luxury. When we found this, we also found an Audi A6 premium sport coupe. I drove that first, and it was a great car, but I drove the Mercedes next and it just felt more together and solid. So I decided to go with it. The wife loves it, and so do I. Very fun to drive, and the technology and looks are second to none. From the navigation, to the heated seats, alloy wheels, suspension, etc, this car is awesome. And, great on gas mileage! First Mercedes we have owned, but probably will not be the last.

I was a BMW owner before I purchased this car and swore I would never drive anything else, but this really changed my mind. I test drove both the C250 as well as the 328i and although the BMW was a good car the Mercedes had that extra quality and details to it that pushed me towards it. Everything is very nicely done and the quality is great. I bought mine certified preowned with warranty and service included. The service with Mercedes Benz is excellent and I always feel valued as a customer. The c250 offers good road stability and especially impressive is the breaking and no rolling around corners. When breaking har the cars remains stabile and you never have that sense of being pushed forward. I have had mine for at year now, and I have had to take it in twice for a couple of minor repairs under warranty. One was the upper engine bearing and later a Harmon Kardon speaking stopped working out of the blue. If you ever replace the tires on your car dont go cheap. Get original continental or the Michelin AS. When I bought mine it had aftermarket tires on it and the road noise was so bad I had them replaced after less than a year in spite they were not worn. Check the alignment frequently and be sure to replace your oil as recommended. Compared to the never CLA250 this is the better car for sure.

This is the luxury model, not the sport model. We drove both, and the luxury model is definitely a smoother ride, if that's what you're looking for. Beautiful interior, handles very well, and the transmission Sport setting (Economy is the default) is very quick off the line. We were not big fans of the Continental tires that came OE, so when the time came to replace them, we opted for Goodyear Assurance tires, which are an optimum comfort touring tire. Much quieter and smoother than the OE Continentals. Our vehicle is not driven a lot, but there are no wear issues in the interior. No mechanical problems of any kind. Takata airbag was replaced at no charge.

After driving from new ( my 25th. birthday ) a 1998 C230 for over 240,000 miles and 20 years. I had decided to look for another C-class Mercedes. Doing research for a reliable model I found the last model year W204 C (2014) too be the best one to look for. I wanted the Luxury model with out the sport suspension for the smoother ride and non staggered wheel setup. I also wanted the 1.8 turbo engine for the lower service costs and better fuel economy. I found a one owner with perfect service records and 37,000 miles in Iridium Silver for $18,000 out the door five months ago. The car came with all its books and 2 keys and the original window sticker showing $41500 list price. The car options were Metallic paint and Premium package no navigation or leather seats. My car now has 45,000 miles on it and I find performance is as good as one would ever want or need ! I'm very happy with my find.... Oh, I'm still keeping the '98 C230 also !

Great car. I am 62 years old have have owned over 20 cars, trucks and SUV's. I spoiled my self and bought this car, as I have been too practical. I tried a MB CLK 350 and loved the interior, but because it was a SUV it did not have price point I was looking for. How often do you really need an SUV in Calif.? Bought the car and love it. Very fast and quiet.
