  Disappointment - 2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Rich - July 28 - 5:06 am

  I traded in a 1991 Honda Accord for this vehicle. I thought i was buying a quality vehicle that I could drive for a long time. Within the first month of ownership, the vehicle had to be towed and problems continued from there. The vehicle was very costly to maintain. At a 100,000 miles , the transmission had to be replace for $5,000. There were many costly repair for the ten year ownership(it was a struggle but I try to keep my vehicle for ten years. I had no where near these problems with the Honda I traded in when I purchased this vehicle. I have now purchase another Honda Accord 2009. I will never buy another Mercedes.

  Fun Little Car - 2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By atlmis - January 27 - 10:00 am

  I bought my car over a year ago and it has been a pleasure to drive. It handles well, takes corners like a dream and has great acceleration. Pretty roomy back seat for a small car and nice trunk space. Besides a few minor electrical problems, this car has been great.

  dissapointed - 2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Penny - August 20 - 2:00 am

  Bought two year old car in May 2002 with 8000 miles on it for 31000 dollars so it was no bargain especially since I have had it back to the dealers three times in one year. I have persistent problems with the transmission. The car jerks when I accelerate from a light or stop when it is moving in to first gear and the dealer hasnt managed to fix it yet. Now I know why the previous owner gave it back after only driving it for 8000 miles! Drives very well once it gets to third gear and on highways but for the most part I am not enjoying it. My next car will be a BMW or a Lexus.

  Disappointed - 2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Atlanta Girl - July 16 - 10:00 am

  Bought my first MB C230K little over a year ago, and I am unimpressed. I think Ill buy a Lexus in 2 years when I anticipate buying again. Theres nothing big, but a bunch of little stuff wrong .. the LCD display stopped working 6 months ago, the middle storage compartment never opens as it should, the front drivers door doesnt close properly even tho its been repaired twice, the glovebox wont stay closed. The brakes, even new, squeal.

  So Far So Good - 2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Sam - April 6 - 7:53 am

  In 2010, I paid $3,005 for my 2000 C280. It drives like a dream and my last car was a Lexus LS400, so I know smooth. The small dealer slapped a sloppy paint job on the damaged left side, even stuck a screw through the left bumper to hold in place. Anyway, paint job was bad enough to drop the price well below blue book (~$6,300). Also, airbag lights are on, so what. Thats fine with me, because my pre-purchase inspection gave the engine an A-Plus! Ill get a better paint job and maybe fix that SRS (airbag) light later. In the meantime, it drives like a fine luxury automobile should drive, like silk. Do I miss my Lexus? Nope! I keep asking my wife, Is this car too good to be true?

  Glad To Own It! - 2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Don - February 4 - 8:06 am

  I have owned Volvos my whole life and have decided to switch due in part to constant repairs on the last one. I am happy to have switched and every mile has been a delight. The car has that Mercedes solidity that is unmatched in any other car on the road as well as an engine that is velvety smooth at any speed. The 5 speed auto is well mated to the engine which makes great sound and tug under hard acceleration. The interior preserves the lovely Teutonic ambiance of the older Benzes with great seats for long trips and very logical controls. This car was built for driving and has been very reliable. I love this car!

  Pocket Rocket...But Still a Benz - 2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Adrian - October 18 - 2:00 am

  I salute Mercedes-Benz with the debut of this supercharged engine in this car. I used to have the older version of the C-Class with the old engine, and it was a slow poke. The car feals very solid, very well made. I usually drive the car in "Wet" mode, which gives you a much smoother, quiete ride. I put it into Sport mode when the kids and wife are at home to have a little fun on the way to work. I always arrive with a big smile on my face.

  Top-Notch Class! - 2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By toppdollar - September 12 - 12:50 am

  This car is excellent! I have owned this car now for a little over 8 months and everyday it gets better and better. The quality and the features of this car are top-notch for a used car or new. I got an excellent deal at under 15K with only 41,700 miles. I have the sport edition and it handles and accelerates like no other 4 cylinder that I have ever driven. Solid all around. The feel of the sport seats and the steering wheel make this car 2nd to none in its class. I had considered a bimmer but this car gives the best of both worlds luxury and sport. All my future cars will be judged on this caliber of car.

  Worth the wait! - 2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By jEmEmUrIU - August 25 - 4:06 am

  This being my first luxury car, I’m very happy with my purchase. MB has just found itself a customer for life! I have the special edition with all the available options. The beefy brakes, strong engine and manual shift capabilities help make it a very involving vehicle. On the negative, though, certain people at my job now look at me differently even though I’m still the same person. Maybe it’s the marque. Oh well, the joy I get from the ownership experience makes up for the attitude I deal with at work!

  Problems with the nick nacks & Many More - 2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By joe - May 20 - 11:26 pm

  This was the First Mercedes I ever Owned and probably the last. When I first purchased it my frontheadlights and rear taillights kept blowing out and 97 thousand miles later they still do. More often than not I drive around with a light blown out. I cant tell you how many times Ive been pulled over for having a blown bulb right after having fixed them. ---that includes the interior as well. Transmission problems after only 30 thousand miles. Gas Gauge problems 2 X. Air condionter died after 80,000. Cost close to 2k. Mass airflow died at 85thousand. Dont lose your key it will cost you.The center sonsole doesnt open as you want. The glove compartment opens when it wants. Bad in snow.
