A perfect mix of sport and luxury - 2005 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By Luxury and Sport - January 19 - 6:00 pmThis car is awesome! The handling is superb. The Kompressor engine makes the four cylinder engine feel like six. The interior design is very attractive and the exterior design is an attention grabber. This is the first Mercedes I have owned and it wont be the last. The sound system is impressive and Mercedes uses high quality materials in its interior. Dont miss an opportunity to test drive this car. Youll find that you are getting a lot of bang for your buck.

Happy First Benz Owner - 2005 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By aahinton - November 23 - 1:20 pmThe truth be know everyone knows me as Mr. Frugal. I have to say that my Mercedes-Benz C230 Sport Sedan is one of the best non-investment purchases that I have ever made. Besides the heads that turn every time I pass anyone, this vehicle is a real treat to own. It has good low-end torque, its braking is exellent, it handles nice, and gets great gas milage. Lets face it, when it comes to performance the Germans are tops. This car should be on you must test drive list. The only complaint I have, is that Im 61 and I could use a little more leg room, but other that that its perfect...and it fit into Mr. Frugals budget. This is a great car.

Not too bad... - 2005 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By JuniorBigShot - November 20 - 5:23 pmWanted the new SLK350, but not enough to wait for it, so I settled for a 2005 C320 4MATIC (back in August) and saved a few $s. Its a good solid car - relatively comfortable, drives well, brakes exceptionally evenly/smoothly. Looks nice in metallic silver with the ash interior - seems to shine a little bit brighter than most other silver cars (of which there are too many these days). Quality sound system. Limited back seat room when taller front seat passengers move em back. Generous trunk space. Ive had better AC systems in less expensive cars; the center arm rest/storage console is a strange size, limiting its uses. Im happy w/the car, but not blown-away. Kind of expected to be...

Good car for the money - 2005 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By Chris - November 14 - 4:43 pmOther than the radio needing to be replaced, the car has been flawless to date. Fun, quick, respectable, efficient. Everything you could want out of a car.

Our Mercedes - 2005 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By Jimmy - October 13 - 4:26 pmI sell cars for a living. Lincoln, Mercury and Volvo to be exact. I had some hesitation about buying a pre-owned Mercedes. This car is, without a doubt, the nicest sedan I have ever driven. The folks at M-B know how to design and build a sedan. The 2.6 ltr. provides more than adequate power while delivering excellent fuel economy.Handling and road manners are awesome! So far, no mechanical issues and we are planning on purchasing an extended warranty when the factory expires. They can be expensive when they break. We are now planning on purchasing a 2005 C-Class Wagon.

Excellent Customer Service - 2005 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By Luis F. Montalvo - September 7 - 10:56 pmHad a 2005 C230 Kompressor with a total of 7 uncheduled visits to the Service department, 4 of them related to a problem with the check engine light and loss of engine power. The vehicle had around 7000 miles when problems started and this week had to trade in with 10000 miles. I traded for another Mercedes Benz 2006 C280. Even when I had lost of problems with the C230k , I loved this car and would not hesitate to have it back. I think I just had a bad one from a bunch.
