  Great car for under 20k - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By seanj76 - August 9 - 4:41 am

  Bought this Mercedes Benz C230 Sport edition after owning a 94C220 for 12 years. My old 94 didnt age so well, the transmission had issues and engine lost most of its power early on. I had driven a few of the 2006-2007 Cs as loaners and I fell in love with the C230 sport 2.5 V6 automatic. Great change from the earlier 4 cyl Kompressors! I got this car for $19,300 with 22k miles Certified from Motorwerks of Barrington, IL. I didnt have to haggle much either, I bought this car on Black Friday 2008 when NO ONE was buying cars due to the recession. Black on Black fully loaded, and I mean loaded- GPS, 10 speaker surround Harmon Kardon stereo, seat warmers, full power seats, leather, etc

  New 2006 C230 - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By yongra - April 1 - 1:50 am

  So far I had this car for a week and car feels very sturdy. Acceleration is slightly slower than 2002 C23 coupe I had, but it is alright. I got it with NAV and it works great. I have only been to few places and so far it is accurate.

  So far so good - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By ninocalifa - March 19 - 4:43 pm

  I have bought this car used, and so far I am happy. The fuel economy I have been getting is an average of 25 mpg, what is not bad considering that this is a sport car. If you drive city only that will drop badly, but on high way it is very efficient. There are only two things I disliked: 1) The fact that MB did not make the phone system standard, it is pre-wired, so you have to buy the module, which cost $600 online or $1500 at the MB dealer. 2) The seats should be fully electric and not only two ways. If you are selling a luxury car, it is expected at least that.

  Wonderful - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Paul - September 26 - 4:46 am

  Am giving all "10" review based on price versus features and performance. Fun and agile car to drive with lots of luxury. Smooth 7sp tranny and engine is fine. The tranny always finds right gear and love the comfort mode and sport mode. Get 30 mpg on road...great sports sedan. First MB, not my last

  best birthday EVER - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Josh - September 16 - 3:13 am

  This car was my 18th birthday gift from my parents last April (I know! How am I not spoiled?...) Anyway, they made a big deal out of driving it up in the middle of the party, and it stunned like only a Mercedes can! I still get a lot of attention for driving this car, and I love it. Its a real lady killer. The level of performance is great, and the interior is very comfortable. On long drives home from college, I often find myself just hunkering down in the leather seats and enjoying the ride. Its got great torque for passing and red lights. I love the design, too, both inside and out. This is, in my opinion, one of the sportier of the less expensive MBs. A definite recommendation!

  Bang For Your Buck!!! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Ljohnson22 - May 31 - 2:30 am

  I bought my wife a 06 C230 and she loves it. I have to admit, I love it also. We looked at the Acura TL and she loved the stereo but didnt care for the bland styling. The acura out performs the C230 but it is just lacking that....something. The C230 has above average performance and beautiful styling. The interior is nicely laid out and very plush. The sound system is very nice but not among the best in its class. We bought it with the entertainment package and the stereo isnt even in the same league as Acura TL. Overall, I think this is a great vehicle and a bit under rated.

  My Benz - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Paul Heemskerk - April 22 - 3:50 pm

  I love the feel of the steering. i love the memory seats and steering wheel. The stereo sounds great and it looks so good in black. I have a 2004 Acura TL and this car is now my favorite to drive. Its not fast like my TL but the steering feel is much better. maybe because its rear wheel drive instead of friont drive. The car also goes over the bumps in the road smoothly. the car feels so solid. Wish it had a few more options for the money but still it is a great vehicle even if a little pricey for what you get in comparison to the Japanese cars.

  Classy Performer - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Thomas - February 26 - 12:43 pm

  Having looked at all competing models, the 2006 C230 is easly my favorite. Ive had it for about 7 weeks and still have to pinch myself ever morning before driving to work. Its easly the most timless design inside and out with superb detailing, fit and finish. I constantly receive looks of admiration and positive feedback. The perfomance is excellent in every way. The only notable exception is the occassional lack of transmission responsivness at lower rpm range. This is somewhat unacceptable for a sports sedan. Freeway perfomance is excellent, with amazing acceleration and incredible braking power. I often find myself driving too fast because of how smooth, quiet and solid the car is.

  Great Car! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Christian - January 17 - 12:56 pm

  Ive had this car for 2 months now, and I love every minute I drive it. I have a 6 speed manual, and its shifting is so smooth, and has amazing power and pickup, with decent fuel economy (23/30). So far I havent had any problems with it. Id definitely recommend this vehicle to anyone considering it. The V6 is definitely a plus compared to the old 1.8 I4 vacuum sounding engine from previous years
