If you’re a more conventional luxury enthusiast who digs the occasional fast-paced drive, the Mercedes C-Class could be your cup of tea. With its reassuringly traditionalist interior, the C-Class is more like a scaled down premium car than an aspirational entry-level offering – which we think is a good thing.
Though it’s more stylish than ever, the C-Class still recalls Mercedes-Benz’s stodgy reputation, and while it’s sprightlier to drive than its predecessor, there’s still a trace of restraint when pushing the C-Class to the limit. Hardcore driving enthusiasts might find more satisfaction from the C-Class’ Munich-based competition, the BMW 3 Series.
