Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
The 2010 C-Class gains an individual tire pressure monitoring system, leather-wrapped steering wheel and new aerodynamic outside mirrors; the C300 Sport features new 17-inch wheels. New options include Keyless Go, four-way power lumbar support, tilt-down side mirror and a Dynamic Handling Package (not available on cars with 4MATIC).
The 2009 C-Class gains front pelvic airbags, bringing its total number of supplemental restraints to eight. The C300 gets a comfort suspension, while a 10-way driver's memory seat and power adjustable steering wheel are made standard on the C350. New options include a 40 gigabyte hard drive with six gigabytes of music storage and a Zagat restaurant guide.
The C-Class offers young drivers a way to join the exclusive Mercedes-Benz family without spending an arm and a leg. Although priced slightly higher than similarly equipped models from Audi, Infiniti, Saab, Cadillac and Lexus, the C-Class can certainly match these vehicles in the areas of luxury, performance and value. The availability of a slick-shifting six-speed manual with the C230 and C350 Sport trims is a must for the driving enthusiast and is offered as a no-charge alternative to the seven-speed automatic. Those not concerned by such matters will find much to like in the C-Class, including a number of desirable features such as the 4MATIC all-wheel drive and a new Flex-Fuel V6 capable of running on E85 or gasoline.

"This has been a wonderful car so far. I've owned quite a few cars, and so far this is the most comfortable ride yet, and I own the Sport version. Here is a list of pluses and minus for the C300 sedan: Pros: - Great handling and ride comfort - Decent acceleration in "S" mode, not so much in "E". - Excellent navigation with intuitive controls - Command system is awesome - Very solidly built....you'll know it the minute you close the door. Nothing rattles in this car. - Real mileage exceeds EPA estimates! I get 27 on the highway and 21 in city driving. Are you listening Acura!?! I say this because my MDX is supposed to be 21/17 and it gets 14 to 15 mpg in real driving. - I like the MB-Tex seats. Looks just like leather, but more durable. - It is a nice looking car - Holds value - Fantastic back seat headroom Cons: - Cheap looking halogen REFLECTOR headlights standard. This is ridiculous, almost every car at least has halogen projectors....it's 2012! Save yourself some headaches and get the lighting package for $1,200. MB quotes $5,000 to do an OEM HID retrofit after the fact. - Heated seats are optional....come on! - Back doors don't open to full 90 degrees - Not much back seat leg room - Non-HK stereo isn't very good - V6 is a little weak, with noticeable throttle lag in "E" mode All in all, I've very pleased with my new MB and selected it over an S60, BMW 3 and 2013 Ford Fusion (yes, it's a cool car, but still a Ford)."

"Haha yup 3000 miles now you can read my review just few people down. I got my 2013 C class sport with 5 miles from the show room. Car is still amazing and now has 3000miles its great car to own Mercedes does great financing and very good on services. I do agree with review below that Sport mode handles much better no lag and in Eco boost with Economic mode it's laggy and not as sharp steering but duh it's economic for grandmas. In sport you still get great miles in town and highway. Amazing piece of car. But I was T boned by a big delivery truck for local school district that slid through stop sign on fresh snow and I seem it coming braced my self and I did not even feel the impact it was at 30 mph and I was traveling 25 down hill and I didn't feel the impact it spun the car 180 and put me in the snow bank. Car suffered 10000$ of damage but wasn't totaled thanks to very well built hard metal it's made of. And only doors and minor things had to be replaced. No frame damage thanks to that. Impact wasn't even felt. Like a wind blew me over. I am very thankful to everyone in MB for building such great car. My child wasn't with me and even if she was I know she would be safe. Getting T boned ? I say bring it on !!!! I am getting some money for the crash and will probably use it to get newer model after few years. I did use their great system called MBrace they knew one of the airbags went off. They called local ambulance and police and told them my location all in under 2 min they asked me if I was ok and we're super nice and stayed online until help came. Thank you Mercedes !!!!"

"Leased this as a new car and then purchased after the lease. It kept its value way better than expected and I have had zero issues with it mechanically. I really see no reason to get a newer model as this one has nearly everything I need. Performance is good, look is great, and it is a solid car. The only negatives would be the cost of maintenance and the premium gas, but I was aware of that when I got it. Would definitely recommend."
