Overview & Reviews

The SLK's 2.3-liter supercharged engine gets dropped into the C-Class, replacing the normally aspirated engine of the last C230. Performance has been turned up a notch. In addition, leather seating surfaces are now standard across the C-Class line.

• Fast and luxurious.

• Initial hesitation when taking off from a standstill.

  Buy the BMW or Lexus - 1999 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By LLT - October 17 - 2:40 pm

  Overall, its a fun car to drive, but quality is poor. Its had much lower quality than any other car Ive owned (Pontiac, Jeep, Buick, Datsun) and maintenance costs are significantly more.

  I Love My Baby! - 1999 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Christine - September 15 - 12:43 am

  I have put 25,000 miles on my car in less than a year and have not had one problem. It has been on a 2,000 mile round trip to Key West effortlessly. I have taken it to the Mountains , had my camping gear in the trunk. This car has seen it all. This is my 4th Mercedes and I have nothing but praise for the 3 point star. Solid as a Rock.

  Great purr - 1999 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Octave - November 24 - 5:36 pm

  What a great purr that 4 cylinder has. Sounds like a little tiger who will soon growl on the highway, which it does! Good kick, great handling, interior is just classy enough without overdoing it. I drive it to work every morning and it brings a smile to my face, which is good for my employees ;) Ive had it for a year now and I enjoy every minute of it. It has been reliable, except for the wiper motor that suddenly died on me. MB said it was due to ice being stuck...funny enough I park my car in the garage. A fun car to have for zipping in traffic or passing on the highway. I recommend the purchase.

  Great Driving Machine - 1999 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By BenzMeister - September 14 - 10:00 am

  This is the first Benz Ive owned, and I love the C280. Ive owned many cars, both domestic and foreign and this one is the best, better then the BMW I traded in.

  Pay to Play - 1999 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By pinky - August 23 - 10:00 am

  Really fun to drive. Love the immediate response when I press the gas. Purchased used w/ 63K miles from a mom & pop dealership (Big Mistake!!!) Stay w/ a larger dealership who offers the MB warranty or you will regret it!! In less than 10 months already replaced the drag link ($500) and condenser ($1200) My independant warrranty covers harly anthing costly.

  My German rocket - 1999 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By poya - July 11 - 10:00 am

  I have owned my Benz for over a year. It has been a wonderful car. At first I was skeptical about owning a German car because ,I heard they had a lot of electrical problems.My car has only needed a wiper, oil change and tire matenance.The brakes are the strongest ever.

  Saved My Life - 1999 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By m2e2r2 - July 4 - 5:36 am

  Distracted and going 70 on a 2-lane road, the front tire hit the gravel shoulder. I was spun around across the road and into the ditch on the other side. I could feel the car working to stabilize itself and my thought at the time was thank goodness Im in this vehicle. I should not be here today. Despite the severity of the spinout, the car survived without any problem. I was amazed. I got back up on the road (slowly), got to my Interstate onramp, slowly accelerated up to 65 and went on my way! Had it checked at my destination and there was absolutely nothing wrong. Amazing.
