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.

  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

  New 2.5L V6, New 7 speed automatic - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Jay Ma - June 7 - 9:13 am

  The new engine and transmission is very smooth yet energetic. New granite grey color is pretty. The ride is a bit too sporty to my taste due to the 17 Z rated tires. In C mode, the car starts in 2nd gear and shifts up at low revs. It is very smooth and quiet in this mode. However, it feels like the engine only has 120hp that way. In S mode, it starts in 1st gear, and shifts above 4k. The sound is a bit harsh but you can believe the engine has 201hp. I only have this car for a couple of days. Hope the reliability is good.

  Didnt Expect It! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Bill - May 15 - 12:56 pm

  I went from an SUV into this C-class sedan, and it has been a great surprise. I feel secure and safe in this vehicle. I never understood what the term "hugs the road" meant until I drove this car. What a fun car to drive. The interior is as beautiful and as classy as the exterior.

  C55 AMG very fast! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Emoney - May 6 - 7:33 am

  What can I say?This car is a dream come true. The power is right there when needed, and the ride is firm but still forgiving. I have always owned trucks, and this car is smooth all around. I still drive my truck for work, and I cant wait to jump in the C55. Everytime I drive it I have a silly grin from ear to ear. I love the fact the car is not flashy, but the quad exuast does give it away.

  My next wife! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Julius Williams - January 6 - 2:20 am

  I had a dream once that my Benz will fit me like a glove. This C class is good on gas and sweet with the ladies. The seats are comfortable and heated. You have to test drive this vehicle to get a appreciation of what I am talking about.

  Enjoyable drive - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By KS - August 7 - 8:43 am

  I have owned this car for 7 months now. To sum my experience up: I like it. Love the look (mine is black). The one-hour drive I spend everyday to/from work is enjoyable, relaxing and comfortable. The car is very responsive (for a mild driver), turns corners very well. It feels solid as you maneuver it. I did not like the fact that the default CD does not read MP3 files, which was not mentioned anywhere when I did my research before purchase (fortunately I got the 6CD option). Gas mileage for my first 8000 city/highway miles is around 26.5MPG. Having seen some complaints about Benzs reliability elsewhere, mine is so far trouble-free. Hope it will remain so.

  Love my Mercedes - 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By young professional - June 28 - 2:00 am

  Mercedes has really stepped it up in the C class range. I fully anticipated that when I went to purchase my wifes new entry level Mercedes that the acceleration would be just decent and that the fit and finish would contain some plastic. For a 62 male, this car has plenty of room and feels like a mid-size sedan and the handling is tight enough for aggressive cornering but comfortable enough for a luxury feeling. I am very satisfied with the purchase and would buy another any day.
