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.

  I like this baby Benz! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By W203V6 - November 26 - 5:50 pm

  I got the 2006 C230 Sport Sedan with 6 speed manual, The shifter is kind of short and hard. Its like you have a aftermarket short shifter! I love it ! The new 2.5 V6 is NOT fast than the I4 w/supercharger. But I feel more power on the high end. The sports tuned suspension may be too hard for some people, but its a lot of better than my EVO 8! The ride is smooth on freeway. If the power is not something you looking for. The C230 sport sedean is very nice in and out! Just not as fast as Volvo S40 T5 or BMW 330i!

  Wonderful - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By William - November 18 - 11:36 am

  This car has been a joy to drive. Although I have not had it for that long, I can tell you that Mercedes did not leave things out because it is one of their base models. Performance is also comparable to the BMW 325i, 325xi. I can promise you will have fun every day in this car.

  My Brand New Toy! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Robert - October 27 - 9:46 am

  Ive only had my brand new black 2006 C350 luxury sedan for one week but wanted to give you my very first impressions. I bought it on a whim, giving up a car I loved (BMW 325i), so I was more than a little hesitant. However, my initial reaction is Im currently very pleased and hope it continues. The car is roomy, beautiful inside and out, and the 268hp engine gives it plenty of get up and go. You can hardly feel the steering its so smooth. So, Ill write again in a few months to let you know if the love affair continues...but my first impression is that this is a very nice car!

  Small car for small people. - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Mac Miller - October 11 - 6:46 pm

  This is a nice drivetrain, giving stout acceleration and 25 mpg while being smooth and quiet. The chassis feels solid, safe. Slow steering and soft shocks make the car a cruiser, not sporty. The interior is very handsome, high quality and nice to be in. Im selling this car. At 6ft/200lbs I dont fit in it. The cars center door post is forward of the drivers seatback, blocking exit from the car. To exit the seat I have to swing both my legs out first, hook my left elbow out around the center post and leverage my way out between the post and steering wheel. If the side of the car is dirty so is my shirt sleeve. The things you dont notice until after time!

  Nice Vehicle, But Depreciated Too Fast - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Hodge52 - September 4 - 1:30 am

  I bought my 2006 C230 new and loved it- -it handle extremely well and had good acceleration and superb braking. But the back seat was cramped for adults, so I finally decided to sell it. I cannot rate the vehicle as a good investment, because of its depreciation. The Kelly Blue Book value I advertised drew little interest, so I lowered the price. Then I looked at Kelly Blue Book a week later and the car had depreciated another $1500! I then unloaded it as fast as I could, at $17,000, and felt lucky to get even that. (Dealers only offered $14,600 for it on trade!) I paid $33k for the car, and am disappointed it depreciated so much with only 27k miles and being only 34 months old.

  Super Car - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Faith - August 28 - 7:33 pm

  This car is very unique. It is small and compact but it has all the luxury of a large sedan or limo. The car is so cool. Even the key is cool. It has buttons and it doesnt use metal in the ignition. You use a little box at the front of the key

  Mercedes C280 - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Theresa - August 4 - 4:33 pm

  Drove an Audi previously and it doesnt compare. This car has given me almost no problems in 2 years now. The only problem I ran into was getting 2 bubbles in my front tires. The car functions exceptional and would recommend this car to anyone. Im in my early 20s and chose this car over Audi and BMW.

  Very good choice in C-350 - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Shanky - July 6 - 7:00 pm

  I finally got my loaded C350 luxury 3 months after ordering, and it is living up to all my expectations! Mileage is fantastic at 29-30 mpg, drive is silken smooooth, very refined and powerful! The steering feels so light even when running tight corners at high speed. Bad roads are a thing of the past now... I easily chose this over BMW 330 as I did not like its styling, and interior.

  Outstanding Value - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By al s - July 5 - 4:23 pm

  The MB 2006 C280 fourmatic is a fun car to own. I bought it for 26000 with almost 11000 miles on it. Its powerful and on long trips theres good fuel economy to be had, even around town 21-22 mpg isnt bad, on trips upwards of 30 mpg. Youll forget that the soul of this car is a sportscar. What will make you remember is its preformance and power. It handles quite well at high speeds on turns, and stops on a dime. The turning radius is very sharp too. I have driven many cars and this car might be the best for value. I absolutely would recommend the MB C280 fourmatic to anyone
