This Year's Model Updates:

The C280 is the lucky recipient of Mercedes' new V-type engine technology, receiving a 2.8-liter unit for the engine bay. BabySmart car seats, BrakeAssist and side airbags also debut on the C-Class this year.

Pros:
  • Attractive and solid, the smallest Mercedes is a good value in the near-luxury market.
Cons:
  • Initial hesitation when taking off from a standstill.

  • Run away from buying a MB - 1998 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
    By -

    There is no possible reason for anyone to buy a car like this. I have owned many cars in my life and this is probably the most unreliable vehicle I have ever experienced. Known problems are MAF sensor, suspension, electronics, brakes etc, etc. Cheap vinyl seats that are passed off as leather. Any Ford, Honda, Toyota etc. would be a better purchase. If you must have a Mercedes lease a new one and dump it before the problems start.
