Sorry Lincoln and Caddy-The End - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By kkear3 - November 7 - 6:51 pmMy lease is up and so it is time to say goodbye to this fine automobile. As much as I would like to buy it out, leasing is set up to discourage that. The biggest problem is MB color pallette: Black, white and 15 shades of gray. The gorgeous quartz blue is no longer offered. Only two total problems with car: The transfer case I posted about back at 40K miles and a malfunctioning air valve which turned on the check-engine light. Both problems repaired under warrantee.

Second C - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By mbinny - August 31 - 4:28 pmYes this is my second C class, the first being a 2005 C280 (The older body style) which I thought was the greatest car ever built giving you best of all worlds; Sporty, Luxury, Stylish, etc... I didnt think the car could get any better and then I test drove the 2010 C300 Lux 4matic and it was love at first sight all over again. The car is completely different but still has that MB feel of solid German egineering. Tight as a drum but smooth and confident in all areas; accel, stop, turn and hwy. I love this car. I look forward to driving it every chance I have.

2.5 years with C300 Lux - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By autoaficion - June 18 - 5:33 amOverall, this is a very well built car that drives very nicely. Ive always has standard-brand cars, but this time I splurged and bought the German car Ive always wanted. It is not the sporting model, but it handles and moves perfectly for daily driving. Its small, so easily maneuvers in tight spaces, but has the premium features. The up-and-down nav and entertainment screen is kind of silly, but I find the iPod integration to be excellent and easy to use with the round controller on the center console. I enjoy the car greatly, but the mystique of having a Mercedes is all in my head; its not like having a Mercedes back when I was a kid and they were special and infrequent.

Pleasantly suprised - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By Yehfus - December 31 - 10:00 amWanting to consolidate from an LR3 and a Lexus IS RWD into one AWD sedan (and one payment), I set my sights on Infiniti, Audi, Lexus and BMW. I was unimpressed with the ergonomics of the G37x, even though I used to own a G35 and loved it. I headed over to the BMW/Merc dealership and happened upon the C300. I was immediately taken in by the aggressive stance of the front end. I was skeptical about the sub-230 HP until I drove it. It has plenty of pickup (compared to my IS250) and handles very well. I bought it on the spot - never even got around to driving the BMW or Audi. The CC stalk was awkward at first, but is easily accessible, and can be manipulated by one finger on my driving hand.

Great used car with low entry for a classy brand - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By Lee Chambliss - June 27 - 12:08 pmI bought my 2010 C300 used. I had driven maybe 10 different examples over several months. I had done copious research. What I found was the C. class overall 2008-present are very sturdy and reliable cars. I was a little uncomfortable with the lower mpg, but I have found on longer trips I can get in the 30s, which is OK with me. And in town is in the high teens (18-19) which is also ok. With my old car I had gotten 21 and 33. But it was a Saab turbo (the fun model engine) and repairs had finally gotten the better of me. So I found this 300, looked like mint condition, 61k miles, nav, memory seats, basically everything youd want. Its been a great car, no problems at all. One thing to consider is the audio. The cars dont come with streaming bluetooth. But there are low cost options to connect all sorts of music and files in all sorts of ways. I got a PCMCIA card for the dash slot, with 32gb drive, an auxiliary for the glove box media interface, and a Bluetooth device that connects with zero effort to the media interface. And if you are waiting for the wife or other , sitting in your car with the nav system you can watch DVD on the nave screen with the video systemusic built in. Its really a cool car, relatively low maintenance, and the ride is rock steady at high speed.

very happy so far - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By rick - June 8 - 6:33 pmSolid ride that keeps getting more enjoyable. Car could use a little more power but looked at many vehicles and felt like the price and equipment were put this car above others. The amg wheel package makes the exterior of the car.

Compact interior but WOW - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By Sam M. - March 6 - 7:50 amI bought this car to replace an ALTIMA 2.5S. Interior is small with but this car is nothing like any that I have owned, everything is tight, pickup is superb, it drives and handles like a turbo charged sports car. Its a lot of fun to drive, only if it had a few more inches to recline the front seat.

Welcome to Benz......... - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By Mel - December 15 - 2:33 amI went to the "dark side. Coming from BMW 3 series coupe, I decided to try Benz for the first time and wow what a great choice. I love this car. It doesnt have as much power and doesnt handle quite as good as my 335 coupe but damn this car looks good and it has adequate power and handling. Comfortable solid ride which a nice quality sporty interior. No car is even close at this price point in my opinion, bang for buck. My bimmer was $200 more per month!

Sorry, Lincoln and Caddy; 20K update. - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By kkear3 - August 29 - 7:44 pmJust had 20K "B" service performed and so far, the car is just about perfect. The windshield wipers needed replacement at $63 for the pair but it takes longer to open the box than it does to put them on. The Michelin tires are wearing like nails: I made sure my car did not have Contis on it when I bought it from my horrible experience with them on my Jaguar X-type and Mitsubishi 3000GT. Mileage continues to improve and is now at 24.8 mpg average with most of the driving at 40-45 mph on rural back roads. Still no regrets about not buying the cramped, noisy Caddy CTS or the econobox-based Lincoln MKZ.

Luxury and rattles - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By Alex - October 31 - 8:56 amLeased car; good for business, ensures an image of success. Front of the car very sexy, though a little bit too aggressive. The back needs serious rethinking/redesign. Pleasant drive, extremely quiet at low speed. The interior looks well put together and quite refined, though Audi and Lexus still better. There are some rattles at 60-65 mph from the passenger seat. Maybe this is a subtle invitation from mercedes for car pooling.
