  A Step Above the Rest - 2007 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By WildcatFan - March 29 - 12:33 am

  This car has well surpassed my expectations. It is a joy to drive and an excellent ride. I read mean reviews before purchasing and the negative things people had to say are bad opinions. The service on the car is 200 dollars, but it only needs it every 12000-13000 miles that is three synthetic oiol changes in a Chevy, do the math. No power at take off, seven speed automatic that you never feel shift, put your foot in it a little. By far the best car I have ever owned. Will update in six months.

  Great looks both in and out. - 2007 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By maxell106 - March 23 - 2:13 am

  The most beautiful car I have ever owned, I was debating between this Mercedes and a BMW 325 but this car just looks 10 times better. The only complaint I have is that it does not have bluetooth, mp3, and ipod kit standard, even the Scion tc which is a $ 18k car has the ipod kit and it reads mp3 standard. But other than that its the best car for the money. Cant wait to get out of work for the drive home.

  Fantastic Car! - 2007 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By RDorris - January 26 - 3:30 pm

  Have had this car for 3 weeks, and can say I am thrilled with everything about it. It has a drive quality unlike any other vehicle I have ever owned and that includes 3 Lexus. The interior is extremely well designed and luxurious, standard sound system rocks, and the quiet soundproof cabin combined with the smooth, and I mean smooth, drive makes this car unbeatable. I test drove the Lexus IS250, nice car, not as solid as the MB and the BMW325--no comparison. Theres nothing about this car you wont love. It gets compliments everywhere I go, I have the black/stone. I cant say enough good about this car. No manufacturer can compare to the Mercedes in buttery smooth, solid, quiet ride.

  Mercedes name, but not quality - 2007 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By FASTJAKE - January 25 - 1:36 am

  I bought my Mercedes C230 in April 2007 and thought it would be a great car due to the Mercedes name. I was wrong. The car has lackluster power, very cramped inside, cant rotate tires, oil changes cost $200+, and just not the quality that Mercedes use to have. Recently traded it in on a Chevy Silverado and was informed that Mercedes also has not so great resale value compared to BMW.

  Concern w/Transfer Case & future quality - 2007 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Henry W - January 19 - 3:13 am

  Overall I like my C-280. I gave low quality rating b/c of my Transfer Case issue after only 3 yrs. Pros: Handles well in the snow, 27 mpg highway average, looks expensive Cons: Passenger head rest and rear view mirror rattles. To fix I have to keep head rest lowered when seat isnt in use and every so often have to adjust the mirror. Mile marker only does whole #s so cant tell when gone 1/2 mile. CD changer fills glove compartment. At 90K miles, the Transfer Case began making rubbing noise on tight turns. Would have been $500+ repair w/o CPO warranty.

  Major defect with Mercedes engine components - 2007 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By md_car_review - December 17 - 5:17 pm

  The overall reliability for the 2006-2007 W203s is excellent until you encounter failure of the balance shaft gear. My father owns the 2006 model, and the component failures that he experienced with his car are now mirrored at precisely the same mileage on mine. 1) The thermostat valve tends to fail after around 100,000 km. 2) More importantly, the balance shaft gear fails after around 130-140,000 km. This is a MAJOR DEFECT that MB declines to recall. Essentially the gear wears out prematurely, and if not replaced, the engine will eventually fail. The repair cost is $5-6,000. As a consumer, this is unacceptable. Shame on Mercedes-Benz.

  Lovin the C230 Sport - 2007 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By BigSexy - November 21 - 5:43 pm

  I am very impressed by the fuel economy of this car, especially when I average 70-75 MPH. I get an impressive 27+ MPG. The AMG kit makes the car look far more expensive than the $30K sticker. I took the base car and am totally satisfied not having all the extras. The engine could use about 50 more horses, but the rest of the ride makes up for it.

  7 speed automatic is a plus - 2007 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Melear - July 24 - 10:43 am

  I drove the Lexus IS250 and looked at the BMW 3 series. The C230 is my favorite by far. The car has a great feel for the road, and handles like a dream. Ample power from the 2.5 liter V6 really gets you up to speed in a hurry. On the highway, the C230 likes to fly. I find myself having to set the speed control to avoid excessive speeds. My highway mileage is better than the EPA estimates of 25mpg. I have gotten 29mpg on two 300 mile trips with the cruise set at 80.

  Keep it on the road Jack! - 2007 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Scott - June 22 - 10:56 am

  I fell in love with the looks of this car from the start! It has plenty of power at top end..but is terrible when you hit the pedal from a stop. The transmission is a select shift so this is your compensation. My biggest complaint is that it pulls to the right and the dealer has yet to correct. I have a hard time keeping it on the road because of this! Dont care for the light blue window tint.

  Happy So Far - 2007 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Gary In Mpls - November 20 - 5:26 am

  I bought my C230 Sport off lease, with 19,700 miles on it. So far, I love this car! I have never owned a car that handles as well as the C230 does. There is almost none of the "leaning" effect during sharp higher speed turns. I am not sure if this is due to the suspension or the sport tires, but it is great fun to drive. Having driven the car through a Minnesota winter, I would definitely advise buying snow tires. I didnt and some of my snow day commutes were more exciting than I would have wanted. Other reviewers have indicated that snow tires will make difference. I plan to purchase snow tires next year.
