German King of the roads - 2005 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By Netraptor - February 26 - 10:00 amGreatest car I have ever bought I have always bought the car that fitted my budget this time I bought my MB. I have longed for it since I was 5. Superior handling, Acceleration when needed majestic looks and affordable price. I think you can not put all of theses in a car and then some. Suspension and breaking is marvelous. Sound system is absolutely NiteClub. Real head turner. No modifications eve needed. Go to you dealership and check it out yourself. You won`t regret

Sleeper economy car - 2005 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By td - January 18 - 6:13 amThis car is a blast to drive and gets great fuel mileage. Average driving I get around 24.5 mpg back and forth to work (some city and some hwy) and during road trips I have gotten as high as 36 mpg. This blows away my old Taurus and this one is actually fun to drive and fun to be seen in! Bought mine used with 36k and now have 52k on it. At the last service had to have the drivers door switch panel replaced because the truck switch rattled in tune with the music (had to fight a little to get covered under warr), dealer also replaced center speaker and then replaced the cylinder head due to excessive carbon, all under warranty. Love the car and love the dealer until I see the cashier!

Best bet for such a low price tag - 2005 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By theMBdriver - January 15 - 10:13 pmGreat car for a lower end MB. Very stable and powerful, the supercharger is a nice touch. Got it nearly fully loaded (minus navigation and bi-xenon lights). Still, not bad for my first car. Great handling, very responsive.

Best Value in Sport Sedan - 2005 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By BlackWithSunroofPkg - December 31 - 10:46 pmI drove the BMW 325i, Lexus IS300, Saab 9-3 Arc, & Acura TSX, before buying the C230K. BMW was great at everything, but adding 17" wheels and sport pkg made it more than the MB, which came standard with 17" wheels & sport susp. Also, could get lthr-faced seats w/o high- cost lthr pkg. Added sunroof pkg which gets you the cool power rear sunshade and rain-sensing wipers. Lexus had smaller backseats and trunk, Saab had low resale value & turbo lag & fr wh drive. TSX is value leader, but fr wh drive hurt handling & interior too much like an Accord (which it is). C230 is very quick, point-&-shoot handling, AWESOME exterior styling w/AMG trim, incredible stopping power, fabulous gas mileage-32hwy!

Maxima, Accord or Benz? Stupid Question - 2005 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By C230 Fan - December 3 - 10:00 amI seriously considered the Accord coupe and Maxima, until I realized I could drive a Benz for the same price! This car is awesome. A great intro to Luxury. Looks and feels like a $50,000 car.

Great used car! - 2005 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By 34 yo father of 3 - October 29 - 8:50 pmCompared to a used 2004 2D BMW 325Ci 5- speed coupe with similar mileage and my previous 4D BMW 325i auto -- the MB wins hands down: more elegant and classy, while almost as sporty and peppy. Ride is smooth and quiet. Seats are very comfortable for a family of 4. Mileage is terrific considering performance. Put side-by-side, the MB is much more of a head-turner than the BMW. No regrets so far!

This is the car to buy! - 2005 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By Art/ La Quinta, CA - October 21 - 10:00 amI have owned BMWs before and was just ready to buy another when a friend suggested I check out the C230 Compressor.. Boy am I sure glad I did! Beautiful styling, luxury interior, smooth ride and with the turbo compressor engine, I have more horsepower than a BMW325- but with 33mpgs on the highway and 25 mpgs in the city! The best of all worlds!

Too fun to drive! - 2005 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By Rami - October 17 - 7:36 pmIve had my 05 C230 Sport Sedan for about 2 months now and I cant tell you how impressed I am with her. She is sexy, sleek and women love the car! I have about 3k on the car, and it hasnt given me a single problem to complain about. Gas mileage is great, especially because Im a student. The car handles amazing. My brother just got a 2005 Honda S2000 for about the same price as mine, and its not nearly as pratical and 20 times sportier, but the C230 is just as fun to drive. Its the best entry level luxury/sport sedan for me. I got a better price on her then the 325 or the a4, plus everyother person out there has a BMW or Audi. For 30gs my money is more than well spent.
