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.

  My 2006 C230 - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Ra - November 8 - 6:56 am

  Great car. I have only had it for two weeks but it rides smooth and comfortable. Pretty good power but it could use more torque like the 2.3 kompressor engine.

  Fun car - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Gary Daugharty - October 21 - 6:00 pm

  I am retired and wanted a own a car that would be fun to drive and purchased the C-55 AMG model. I drive it to San Diego twice a year a distance of 1300 miles each way and will drive for a period up to 12 hours a day.I enjoy the drive and never get stiff or sore from the long hours. The car looks and runs great with all the power I need. I get lots of compliments on how good it looks.

  Good deal - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By big george - September 15 - 2:43 pm

  Great car, very peppy motor, ride is superb, very quiet motor, no rattles. It is too small inside for a $43000 msrp. Some poor design choices inside such as too many knobs to activate radio and hvac, should be push button. Steering wheel controls do not include all of the functions that are common to better designed steering wheel controls. Getting out of drivers seat is not easy for guys over 200 lbs. Nonetheless, my son loves driving the car and I think its exterior lines are awesome. No troubles after 5000 miles. Though I am wary of keeping it beyond the warranty period due to MB recent history build quality

  My ownership experience with this car has been outstanding from the day I purchased it to this day (almost two years). It is beautiful, reliable, easy to maneuver, and very quiet. Absolute joy to own!

  A Joy to Drive - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Maggie - May 13 - 9:20 pm

  This car is truly a joy to drive! This is my fourth Mercedes (previous ones were 450SL,C240, and SLK230), and Ive also driven BMWs (including an 850ci). And this car, although certainly not the largest or most powerful of the Mercedes, compares most favorably to all of my past vehicles. The handling is smooth as silk, the acceleration quick, and the braking sure and steady. As in all of the Mercedes, I feel safe and secure with a very solid car beneath me. Oh, and dare I say that its a "beauty" too!

  C350 moves! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By 2000 - March 28 - 11:26 pm

  After testing the Jaguar X type, I purchased the Mercedes C350 instead, and am I glad that I did! The handling is buttery smooth, the pick-up incredible! The quality overall leaves nothing to be desired.

  Never thought I would buy pre-owned - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Pantina-Dick - November 24 - 1:13 am

  Contacted by local MB dealer when car was traded for 2009 model. Vehicle only had 7700 miles and was in super condition. Paid 20M and could not be more pleased with ride and comfort features. Great handling and secure safe feeling. Still has great looks and elegant lines.

  "WOW" - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Joe - August 7 - 2:06 pm

  I purchased this car a couple of days ago. One word..."WOW." Performance was very surprising. The acceleration was great and is easy to handle. Very smooth. The sleek look for me is part of the appeal.

  Poor mans C55 - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By James - May 6 - 8:46 am

  I am truely impressed by my 2006 Mercedes C350 Sport sedan. I had to wait about 2 months to get this car because at that time of release, there were no 6 speed manual available. I got mine fully loaded except for the heated front seats. Total came out to about $44,375 before taxes. For a car this size, the ride is very comfortable. The 6 speed is very easy to shift, the clutch is very soft. It is very hard to stall in this car. Acceleration is very quick. You can get to highway speeds in less than 6 seconds. The bi-xenon lights are very bright which I think are the best out there. The interior fit and finish is top notch. There are no rattles so far. The seats are very supportive.

  Drives like a dream - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By MN - May 2 - 8:46 pm

  Recently bought this car and it is a dream to drive it. Really smooth! Have the automatic transmission, which lets you select between sports style or comfort. If you select sprt style it is a more agressive engine! More fun to drive!
