  C230 Kompressor - 2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By jayjkay - December 18 - 10:00 am

  Multiple little problems with this car. Sunroof losing its settings, fuel door locking up etc. Fun to drive, great looking. If the minor mechanical issues go away, I would rate higher.

  C 230 - 2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Professor Kompressor - December 4 - 10:00 am

  One of the best parts of owning this car is the dealership it came from. They have amazing customer service. Unfortunately I have had to use it a few more times than I would have liked. There was an electronic glitch that shut off the engine when I turned the wheel too hard. However, it is still GREAT to drive. I love blowing past everyone on the freeway (even the new 8 series BMW I saw the other day).

  My Overall Opinion of the C320 Wagon - 2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Remyatiffy - November 22 - 2:00 am

  Overall this car is very satisfactory for me however I feel that I sacrificed alot of room from my previous SUV. Also I am not as pleased with my overall service interaction at this point of owning the vehicle.I purchased this car orginally from a good friend who unfortunately is no longer at the dealership so I believe the exceptional service I received was short lived. I have to say that I will be going back to a SUV in about a year and also my previous vehicle make which was a Lexus because they continue great service throughout my entire ownership of the car.

  Lemon Land - - 2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

  This dog dont run. a/c was so bad it took the dealer four tries to find the problem deep in the system. Defective windhsield water bottle caused the cooling system to report as bad. A defective valve set the car into LIMP Home mode. $2,000 repair under warranty. Mercedes does stand behind their warranty but has no sympathy or extra effort for putting you thru the gauntlet. Were on our fourth replacement key. I would not recommend that you get involved with them. Better off with a more dependable car than going through warranty hell and trying to deal with the anonymous zone guy who wont speak directly with you.

  C230 Bag for not much Buck - 2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By kompressorking - August 10 - 12:12 pm

  Recently bought my C230 Kompressor w/ manual 6 speed tranny. So far so good. Its just over 100,000 miles, 1 owner and care for... it shows. Also purchased and very extensive 5yr/100k extended warranty too. Ive owned 72 cars (all different makes/models) and have been a BMW fan for ever. This is my 3rd Benz and its a pleasure to drive. 30+ mpg on the freeway @ 85+mph, shifts smooth and has decent power to climb freeway hills with ease, even in 6th gear. Traded in my Jaguar S-type for this and I have no regrets. I will say the Jaguar was a better looking car, but thats it. Ill update more as I add more miles...

  Oh, the Electrical Woes. - 2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Brian F. - March 27 - 4:36 am

  What a great car to look at! Fun to drive, except when you have to get a loaner when the radio wont work. Or like the time there was a sparking wire making the drivers seat dangerous. Or the time the windshield wipers stopped working. Or the time the left headlamp would not light each time it was switched on. Or the time I had it in the shop when the right headlamp would not light when it switched on (the whole component had to be rebuilt). Other than that, the car is a pleasure to drive. But since it is a glorified Chrysler now, expect it to be in the shop quite often to fix annoying problems. Buy a Benz, see the world in a loaner car!

  Great for now - 2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Harry O - February 28 - 7:23 pm

  This car is my second Mercedes and my 4th car. I like the style and the handling. Gas mileage is great. The computer is great too. I notice small things like the windshield wipers not coming on when the door is open so as not to throw water on you (among several other neat attributes). The dash display seems to be shorting a bit or simply burning out. The sunroof doesnt close fully in auto mode as it should.

  Bad wiring, poor service - 2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Beth_walters - January 10 - 10:00 am

  In the 6 months Ive owned my C-240 Ive had 5 problems, all electrical (Elect. ignition switch, alarm, gas gauge, head lights & brake lights). Other than that its a pretty good car: good mileage & handling. Interior design could be better: cup holders, location of switches and screen. However, the service I had from my dealership was poor, especially when after the first couple of problems I heard from the owner himself, "I dont know what to say. I dont know what to tell you. I dont kwow what I can do." You know what, thats not it. I may get another Mercedes in my future, but it wont be a C240 and it wont be from the same dealer.

  Alot of bang for your buck! - 2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Beach girl - December 15 - 10:00 am

  I couldnt be happier..I was concerned about "get up and go"..what a joke that concern was. With little effort it engages and it reminds me of the star wars.. warp speed! the only thing I would do to imporve it.. is make the seats a little more luxuriest. Mineis loaded so I have the leather..but would like to see a little "cushier" seats. IF you are able to purchase from Calabasa Motors DO. the service is beyond good.. it doesnt matter how small the issue is.. you are sent way with a loaner, no questions asked.

  Quick and Fun For Less - 2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Kennyboy - April 8 - 2:00 am

  Great experience with this car. People stop and ask me about it all the time. Mines is Blk w/ Blk int. Hard to keep clean but worth the headache. Had an early problem with the SRS light coming on with in the first two months, but other than that worry free! I would recommend it to anyone looking to get into something sporty, good on gas and affordable. Oh yeah and A MERCEDES!!!
