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.

  Great Value for the Money! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By mealz07 - April 3 - 4:30 pm

  I am a new MB owner and am glad to have made the switch. I purchased my used 4matic this year and have been pleased with the performance thus far. My only dislikes would be the automatic wiper sensors when it rains and comfort mode. I highly recommend Sport mode to really know what your driving. I also think the windows should be a shade darker.

  Great car while in warranty !!!!!!! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Paul - December 16 - 10:53 pm

  The design department did its job flawlessly with the C-Class; The car is a delight to drive when new and shows great composure on the road and lots of punch, inside the car you are surrounded by exquisite quality (if you choose the OPTIONAL luxury packages), but beneath the skin there is a time bomb. Materials, components and especially electrics and electronics are a nightmare and they seem to be designed to withstand only the use for 3 yrs / 60,000 miles. I experienced serious problems with electrics and electronics, AT gearbox (transmission conductor), steering rack (!!!), countless electrical surges and...lousy dealer service. Treat yourself with A NEW MB, BUT ONLY WITHIN WARRANTY !

  It looks good!.. - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Elvira Weyhetton - December 12 - 11:16 pm

  When I saw this car I knew I had to have it.. The drive took some time to get used to but after a few months, I fell in love with my C55. Very fast, very Mercedes-Benz like. Only downfall is that this car must have a sport driver. I took my 84 year old grandmother to a wedding and she said she hated the ride, but it looks good!!!

  Mercedes on a Budget - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By mateshinai - October 19 - 9:13 am

  My very first Mercedes. So far so good. Drive is solid compared to other Japanese vehicles I had including Toyota and Nissan. It is just tight inside. Not for the big fellas. But the electronics bells and whisles are nice. Loaded with gadgets. This definitely gets looks and attention. Feels classy and yet sporty.

  So far, so good - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Robert - September 11 - 5:53 am

  I now have driven my Black C350 Luxury Sedan some 2500 miles and really enjoy it. I went on a long (~ 200 miles) trip of interstate highway driving and the mileage was excellent (~ 34 mpg) if the trip computer is accurate. The car has plenty of acceleration and is very comfortable. I sold a car I loved (BMW 325i) for my new Mercedes and have not been disappointed. Will check in with you after a few more thousand miles!

  C350-LL - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By modern54 - August 27 - 10:20 am

  Overall the vehicle is nice. There does need to be some changes as with any vehicle. It has a nice smooth quiet ride...I am coming from a Nissan 350Z which was LOUD and bumpy. The car feels to me a little stuffy for my age group late 20s. but I think it has more to do with the interior tan anything else. The cars stereo system is a bit weak.

  Quality problems for Mercedes Benz - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Chris - May 30 - 10:33 am

  Buying a Mercedes Benz was the worst decision I have ever made when it came to buying a new car. With a name like Mercedes, I thought I was buying the best quality available on the market. Boy, was I wrong. After having only 16,000 miles on my vehicle, I noticed that there was damage to the rotors, so I took my car in for a brake inspection. The service advisor told me that the wear was normal, and that I would have to replace the rotor and the front brakes at a cost of $450- $500. The advisor told me that Mercedes uses a different metal for the pads, and a thin rotor so all Mercedes owners can expect to replace rotors and brakes every 16,000 to 20,000 miles. What kind of quality is that? By the way, my girlfriend has a 2006 C230 also with 4100 miles, and we had to take it in to replace the electronic cluster that displays all the info to the driver.

  C55 AMG = A Monster in your Garage - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By yablo - March 4 - 4:36 am

  This 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!
