  Not bad - 1996 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By rfarnum - October 5 - 10:00 am

  Took a few months for me to figure out that everyone isnt looking at you because youre driving a Benz. This is my daily driver, its a great, solid car. Gas mileage is good to very good (26-27 average). Any time I drive a rental or a friends car, I get back in my Benz and smile. Its a very well built car. The heavy, solid feel of the door shutting is ample justification for the price of a Mercedes. This car is pretty wimpy for its weight. I have to do manual shift-drops for passing--the throttle tip-in is too slow. We have put a great deal of money into maintenance and repairs, but thats a price of driving a German car, no matter the make.

  Mercedes-Benz c280 Sport - 1996 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Travis Leffew - August 3 - 6:26 am

  Had little to no problems with this car. It has 136,000 miles on it and everything works as it should. The only thing is where the inside lights and the moonroof button is, there appears to be a speaker (perhaps for the phone) and it has a light "buzz" sound. Other than that this is an awesome car. I have a 97 Mustang and after driving the Mustang, after I had been driving the Benz .. Lets say Ill stick with the Benz. Only negative feedback is Ive tried to get an aftermarkets sound system and rims, and it just seems more difficult and costly with this car. I prolly will never have another Benz (Mustang lover at heart) but def a great deal! And I get asked if it;s a 2000+ yr all the time!

  Perfectly Good Cheap Car - 1996 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Valo Grant - April 5 - 5:06 pm

  The 96 c class I am currently driving has been sold on to me from my folks and so, thanks to their good treatment of the car, I have had almost no problems what so ever. Granted, the few times it goes, it does a number. Nothing more than a few hundred dollars, easy maintenance and in the right hands, will keep running after 20 odd years of australian road trips. I am still quite fond of the looks as it is understated yet elegant. Even though it isnt the quickest off the line, it still gives a modest punch of power for its age and still loves the highways. With a good set of tyres, it can hold its own in the corners too. So for a cheap car, its a lot of fun and good value if you pick right.

  Great Car - 1996 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By j_nickens - June 30 - 10:14 am

  This was my first car. Picked it up at a used car auction. Im 19 and I was getting looks driving a Benz even though it was a 96. Handled well. Leg room was a issue in the back. Small trunk. Also my electronics went psycho when it was cold. My windshield wiper wouldnt work sometimes. Very scary.

  2000 Mercedes C280 Sport - 1996 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By ealtieri - May 20 - 8:10 am

  Purchased the 2000 model because the Exterior design is exceptional plus always wanted a Mercedes. I purchased a one owner vehicle from Florida with over 100,000 miles, crazy right?! However the car looks no more than four years old and I have no concern that it is going to break down. If you do the standard A/B service and take care of the car you should have no trouble.
