Overview & Reviews
For 2006, both the wagon and the slow-selling C-Class coupe are history, leaving only the sedan. A V6 engine is now standard on every sedan model. The C230 gets a new 201-hp, 2.5-liter V6, while the C240 is renamed the C280 and has a 228-hp, 3.0-liter V6. The C320 is now the C350, boasting a 268-hp, 3.5-liter V6. 4Matic-equipped vehicles get an improved five-speed automatic, and rear-wheel-drive models get a new seven-speed automatic.
- State-of-the-art safety and luxury features, pleasing power from top V6 engine.
- More expensive than competitors, ordinary cabin furnishings, small backseat, only available as a sedan.

06 C280 4Matic - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By newowner - April 25 - 7:23 amI just took delivery on 8-21-05 and boy was I excited. The new Nano paint technology makes this car look like a jewel. Ive had several new cars in the past to include, BMW, Infiniti, VW, etc. and by far, Mercedes put their best foot forward this year. Before leaving the lot, the salesman told me to start the car so he could show me some features. I told him it was running the entire time we were talking. Unbelievely the quietest car on the market. Quality inside and out.

C55 AMG = A Monster in your Garage - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By yablo - March 4 - 4:36 amThis car is fast! Let me rephrase that, its VERY fast. The car should be driven for fun, not for comfort or fuel economy. The ride is very stiff, but thats what you want in a sports car. Dont bother looking at the mpgs (11-14 city, 18-22 hway). Interior build quality seems below my old 1997 C230 which is a bit disappointing for a sedan that msrps for 60K. There is a lot of plastic on the dash, and most controls feel cheap to the touch. But who cares? This car is FAAAAAST!

Dont waste your money - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By Adam - February 29 - 12:26 pmThis car is not worth the money, at all. I have had numerous problems with this car, which are all well known by the dealers, but they wont acknowledge them until you bring it in for repairs. My dash squeeks, the front end can not be alined properly, the pressure in the fuel tank goes thud, thud, thud all the time, the electronics dont work 15% of the time, the seats are uncomfortable, I have a re-call notice for the airbag system, it has very little power, 7 speed transmision is not fun to use, and the lay out of the instrument pannel is down right awful. I would suggest buying the E350 or Acura TL, but do not waste your money on this car. This is a poor Mercedes.
