• Solid construction, free scheduled maintenance, S-Class Jr. styling.

• Tight squeeze for backseat occupants, pricey for its segment.

  Lets see what happens after 100K miles - 2001 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Robert Yokley - January 24 - 10:00 am

  Overall, I like the car. However, I had to return it to the dealership 7=8 times for various problems (primarily electrical in nature). To the dealerships credit, they addressed all the problems promptly and efficiently. I must reserve final judgment on this car after attaining >100K miles.

  Just OK - 2001 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Ann Traina - November 18 - 10:00 am

  alot of small things regularly go wrong with the car. The keys seem to have problems, the cup holder constantly gets stuck, the r,f turn signal wiring seems to have a problem, and (most of all) I dont like that the AC- heat button you have to press so many times to go from hot to cold(press button 1x time for each degree you want to change). It should have a dial.

  Great Service - 2001 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Spendy - November 5 - 2:00 am

  The service at Bob Kings Autohaus has been SUPERIOR, lucky because I take it in on a regular basis for one thing or another. The computer chip/remote key went haywire after 2 1/2 years; the door handle had to be replaced; and Ive had to buy new tires twice already. I think I better dump it before the warranty runs out!

  By maxs gpa - September 24 - 2:00 am

  Car handles very well, C320 has excellent power...ride is "sporty" and fun to drive. Some minor inconveniences such as side view mirrors too small...cup holder inconvenient. Difficult to get in and out of rear seats.

  Our Best Car Yet - 2001 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By JimiB - July 24 - 2:00 am

  We have had our C320 for almost two years now and we are very pleased. We have been to the dealership once so far for the first routine service included in the price of the car. That is it! I think the build quality is very high. This is our first MB but have had alot of other "luxury" type cars in the past to compare. It is that right mix between luxury and sport. Before buying we test drove a BMW 330ci, Lexus IS300, Lexus ES300, Acura TL, an Infinity, an Audi and last the C320 all on the same day. We were 1 block down the road and my wife said "this is the one". Overall very pleased.

  Good car overall -- a few bugs - 2001 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By presta_presta - May 22 - 2:00 am

  The C240 is a great road car. Absolutely wonderful on a long road trip. Comfortable, powerful--it rides like its on rails. Its fine in the city too, but fabulous on the open highway. Ive had a few problems. It had to be towed once because the electronic key failed, and currently the sunroof wont work properly. When I press the sunroof button, it opens a little way, not entirely. If press the button about 20 times I can get the sunroof open. Annoying little bugs like that are bothersome when youve paid this much.

  I feel like Ive been had! - 2001 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Wised up to MB now - February 23 - 2:00 am

  Twenty-eight items addressed under warranty. Everything from seals around the doors to front end bushings to a/c to radio to interior trim to engine stalls to missing/broken bolts to frequently burning out lamps. Attitude of the service advisor? We dont build them, just fix them. Advise of the service advisor in response to how much will fixes cost? Well, may be you wont be so picky then. They just ignore the fact that this car hasnt been a good one!

  C230 & C240 - 2001 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By delbell49 - February 9 - 2:00 am

  On the whole my c240 is an exceptional ride in comparison to its predecessor the c230. The New C has a tighter suspention, better acceleration, and traction controll which helps a great deal in the rain and snow.I have put about 10,000 miles on my c240 and have experienced no problems.

  A lemon with a good engine - 2001 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By sonet - October 23 - 8:30 am

  The car was good when it was new. Then everything started to good bad. Audio system went bad several times. Transmission went bad. Sun roof malfunctions. Paint faded badly. Side moulding turns from black to tan. ESS went bad. Brakes vibrate a lot. The dealer was not able to fix this yet for the past 4 years. Gas mileage is way less than what was advertised. Lots of noise on bumpy roads. Engine is loud. Speaker went bad several times. Heating is slow. Vent solenoid went bad several times costing almost $1000 for each visit. CD Changer went bad twice. Turn signal bulb blows out too frequently. Cup holder gets stuck. More room is needed. Electronic diagnosis need to be more accurate. Cost me money.
