This Year's Model Updates:

TeleAid, which can assist in summoning help if you're ill or involved in a crash, is a brilliant new standard feature. A Touch Shift automanual transmission is added to all C-Class models, and stability control is standard this year. C-Class now comes with free scheduled service for the duration of the warranty period.

Pros:
  • Solid construction, free scheduled maintenance, lots of luxury.
Cons:
  • No manual transmission, aged design, grumbling exhaust note of C230.

  • Fun, Quick & Classy - 2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

    I have been quite impressed with the car, fun to drive and quick enough to get you into trouble with the po pos. Would like to have seen a bit more comfort in the seats, my Volvo T5R was far more comfortable. The car is pretty classy for the price, would like to see a standard CD player, duh?

  • Outdated and overrated - 2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

    This was the 1st Mercedes I ever had so maybe I was expecting a little to much. Many issues and concerns. Firstly, in this age of $4 a gallon gas, whats with the premium gas only? Im an Ivy league grad yet I never figured out the venting and air regulating mechanisms. The air conditioning was average and the car had a tendency to run hot in the summer, so I had to turn off the AC! Lastly, whats the deal with the dealer installed "emergency" phone system. Im guessing that the visionaries at Mercedes couldnt see the advent of cell phones and replacing this antiquated system! Center console storeage never worked either and CD system in the trunk...cmon!!

  • The best - 2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

    This is my 2nd M.Benz. My first was a 1994-190-E. It is Mercedes entry level car at $30k in 94. I was very impressed with how heavy duty it was. I was SOLD on M.B. In 2000 I decided get a new C-230. Again this is Mercedes entry level car at $30k and it is packed with features that I never expected. This car is a great value for the $ (Same price in 2000 as it was in 1994) Go figure? I believe that M.B. sells these at a very low profit in order to get you hooked on M.B. And belive me they do!

  • Pleased! Very! - 2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

    My first Benz but I would say I couldnt be happier with the car. Its been 10 years since I purchased it and I have been very blessed. No major issues ~ mainly minor wear and tear.

  • Built like a rock... - 2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

    Everthing is solid. Doors close solid. Ride is tight and solid. Even the rear view mirror is solid. Great build quality! Only problems are with electricals. AC quit, so it went to dealer for repair. Three times. They did everything under the sun to repair. Recharge, replace, test, re-test. Finally, it came down to the dash mounted AC on/off switch. Gas gauge also goes wacky now and again, shows empty. Restart the car and it has corrected itself so far.

  • Wish I Had Known - 2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

    Within the first 2 yrs. of owning this 2000 C-230 Komp, bought used, I have replaced the drivers side mirror, the seal got cracked and the fluid leaked down the side of my door, windshield wiper motor went out, had it replaced for $500, 3 months later, it went out again, I find out its the transmission for the motor thats bad, $1080 for that, now both have to be replaced, cup holder broke, no cd player in a Benz? Heat & air work sometimes. Sometimes it blows, sometimes not, temperature works sometimes, sometimes not. Now I owe more than its worth and cant get out from under it.

  • C230 - Solid Car - 2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

    Nice car. Love the classic style lines in an age when most cars look alike.

  • "Entry-level" headache - 2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
    By -

    If you want luxury no other name can do it like MB. However what is there to a name if the vehicle doesnt live up to its prestige. I have owned my C230 for a year. It is an excellent daily driver but costly to keep prime. I have replaced the mass air flow sensor ($300 w/o labor), breaks twice (once w/ rotors all together $1300 w/ labor), and instrument panel computer ($expensive!). I am a cautious driver and maintain it well. Handles well at highway speeds, but the seats are tiring after 2 hours or so. This defeats the purpose of luxury. If you want a star on your hood look no further, but if you are looking for something behind the logo keep star gazing!
