  Economic Magnificence - 2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Chaz - June 26 - 10:50 am

  I could not believe that a working man could own a Benz w/5 year, 50K mile all inclusive plan for the same price as a moderate class GM or other American car. The car is flawless, gets 30+ MPG and is a blast when using the tap shifter with the rev limiter. Winding roads are fun. It has that classic Mercedes feel on the road. I have driven it 45K miles and have had it serviced by the dealer. It has cost me nothing except brake pads and I replaced them myself. Theres not a shake, rattle or roll in the car. I smile every time I get to drive it.I have owned a new Lincoln, Chrysler, Volkswagon, Chevys and my Benz beats them all. I bought a twin Benz in 2003 for my wife. Bravo! Mercedes

  Enjoy the drive and ride - 2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By gyhs - June 21 - 2:00 am

  The 6-speed manual is a really fun car to drive, great handling. A reasonably powerful car with good fuel economy and environmentally friendly with ultra low emission status. Legroom in the rear is suprisingly ample, but headroom is tight. Fortunately, the double sunroof eases up the claustrophobia.

  Best Hatchback Ive Ever Owned! - 2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By RiceCakeLover - June 16 - 10:00 am

  This is my 3rd hatchback and I love it! My first two were a Mazda RX-7 and a Honda Civic, both of which presented consistent problems in the first 6 months and beyond. This Mercedes has been flawless in my first 7 months! The leather/moonroof/bose sound package and the sports package are bargains and well worth it. After test driving both the manual and automatic types, I chose the automatic because the power is more than Ill ever need. Im actually getting 30 mpg on the highway! The smooth ride is a dream! The interior accommodates large & tall people well. Its also the only Mercedes small enough to fit into my tiny Victorian garage!

  Silver Bullet - 2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Roseville John - June 11 - 10:00 am

  I just took delivery of an almost new C- 230 Sport Sedan (thanks dad!) and drove it from Wisconsin to California. Averaged 32 MPG driving 75+! Performance was excellent on the twisties in the mountains near home! The interior is a little tight for cross country touring, but the seats are outstanding. Acceleration from a stop is mediocre, but the 80-100 mph is quite good. Excellet brakes and steering, good ride. Mine is Brilliant Silver with Ash interior and the look with the blue tint windows is well, stunning.

  I Love my Car - 2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Tom Roddenberry - May 15 - 2:00 am

  Luxury all around, the car looks and feels like a $50,000 car. Very Comfortable. Gets wonderful gas mileage. The perfect luxury car to take my mind away from the horrible commute. I looked at everything else, the Acura TL, the Infiniti I 35, the BMW 3 Series, the Jaguar X-Type, the Lexus ES, the Volvo S60, nothing else came close to the luxurious feel of the Mercedes C240. This car feels like it should be far more expensive than it is.

  c-230 compressor - 2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By wallsise - April 29 - 10:00 am

  The c-230 has great interior features and is most comfortable. The front end has not been in alignment since the day I bought the vehicle. I have taken it in twice and the Mercedes dealer can not get the car to run straight.

  Well See - 2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By MTBDAD - April 29 - 10:00 am

  We just got the car and so far, I am very impressed. For a 1.8, it has alot of power. We were given a loaner while we waited for the car, which I thought was very nice. My wifes Z-28 died on her and we were short a car. We tried a short list of the Maxima and the 325i and overwhelmingly picked the C230. I am alittle worried about reliability because the C240 loaners sensors kept telling me the ABS, BAS and the ESC were out. "VISIT WORKSHOP" Flashed all the time.

  Sweet C230! - 2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By SweetC230 - February 8 - 10:00 am

  Great deal on a German engineered, rear wheel drive sport sedan. I drove the 325i, A4 3.0 & G35 and none had the complete package of the C230. The sport tuned suspension, 6 spd tranny, wheel/tire combo, & overall bodystyle made this an easy choice. The cornering/handling of this baby is precise and effortless. The car is a real head turner and stands out better than any car I test drove. . .and having that three pointed star on the hood never hurts!
