  Its a good car - 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By The Scientist - December 12 - 3:50 am

  I was looking for a new car for a good while. I was about to get the new Lexus ISF but then I came across the C63. Daammmmmm. First of all it has a very clean look. The exterior has a good blend of sporty and luxurious. The interior is also very nice. A very clean and luxurious look. However Im not too sure about the bucket seats. Though the leather is absolutely gorgeous, I feel the seats could have been more comfortable. There ok though, some people really like them. The best part is the engine. It has superpowers.

  Worst Mercedes I have owned - 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Michael Larkin - September 16 - 11:50 am

  Terrible gas mileage. Uncomfortable seats - no cushioning. Horrible wind noise when driving above 50 mph. Low-end speakers, muddy sound

  Nice Looking Car - 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Nice Car - February 28 - 2:16 pm

  First time owner of a Mercedes. Engine and transmission very smooth. Nice handling. Lots of standard features, including safety features. Very fast in breaking. Took car to almost 130 - yeah, crazy me!! Car felt very smooth - cant feel the speed. I cruise on freeway and realize I have to ease on the pedal - Im doing 90. Only 1 complaint - you feel the bumps too hard. Needs improvement on suspension. Yes, it has a sports suspension which has been lowered over the luxury model, but you sure feel those bumps. Ive taken few pounds off pressure of the tires to releave this problem - much beter, however, my "check pressure" keeps coming up.

  My first Mercedes c 300 sport - 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By santosh phadke - June 9 - 6:33 pm

  I am completely excited on delivery of the vehicle. Great handling particularly in snow and ice in Michigan. Performs as per Mercedes standards. It has a big problem which is the security system. I had somebody try to break into my car at night, broke the driver side glass and the alarm of the car did not go off and the tele aid operator tells me it is a passive alarm and it does not go off until the doors have been tried to open. Funny because I think if someone trie to gain access to your car by damaging the window the alarm should go off and as an owner Im surprised with the answer.

  Love my C300 - 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By flyer - May 7 - 7:06 am

  Absolutely love it! Even though it could use a little more power I am very satisfied otherwise. Handling is great. Build quality and quality of materials are top notch. I was pleasantly surprised. I was looking at a BMW 335ix and it was a lot more money and I couldnt justify the added cost for the added performance.

  not a luxury car - 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By mbchica - November 24 - 8:43 am

  I have driven several luxury sedans and SUVs. If you are in the market to buy a high-bred, trust me when I say that this is not a luxury car. It is peppy enough considering what it is. It feels like nothing more than a VW Jetta. The interior is very plain and honestly kind of feels cheap. There is literally what looks and feels like aluminum on the doors and dash. Yes I understand that for 30K you cant expect to get much from MBenz. The car is cute and most likely reliable in the long term, but thats about it.

  Benz-no-More? - 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By benznomore - June 13 - 4:39 pm

  Keep in mind that my C230 - 2008 has only 62,000 Kms, is driven lightly and garage kept. Yet...time to move away from Benz once and for all. To date: both electric side mirrors replaced ($700 each), both gas tank pumps replaced a couple of times (fuel gauge still goes out once in a while), side mirror full of water (looks like fish tank), tire blown sidewall, amongst others and just today car would not start leaving all scratching heads..$$$$ Not to mention Benzs outrageous cost of ongoing service...$500-$800 each annual visit.

  Good News / Bad News - 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Michael Larkin - May 11 - 2:06 pm

  I have driven a Mercedes C class for the last 8 years and the cars are the best I have ever owned. This year I got the C300 sport because of how great it looked. Everything about the car is tremendous except the seats. They are possibly the most uncomfortable I have ever sat in - almost to the point that I can not drive the car. I am trying to resolve with the dealership and hope they will come through. Would hate to lose them as my number one brand.

  A True Benz - 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By AtlantaJim - March 14 - 5:46 am

  After driving the 3-series and IS 250, the Benz just offered more of a "best of all worlds" package. The BMW is a better performer and the Lexus has a touch more luxury, but the Benz has the soul of a sports car with the comfort of a luxury machine. The list of standard features is impressive, and Ive never seen a car turn heads like this one.

  Nice 1st M-B - 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By thjatty - November 7 - 12:40 am

  This is my first M-B and I really enjoy it. The quality of the build is very nice and it performs well for city and highway commuting. Although it is between a compact and a standard size sedan, I fit comfortably (being 5-9" and 200 lbs). The heated seats are nice, and the DVD-NAV display is very cool. I dont have much trouble with the technology, other than trying to decide which one to use as this car is very multi-task functional. The engine is great for the size. I have owned Porsche, VW, Chevy, Ford and Chrysler products. Hands down this is the best overall package Ive ever had.
