  Mercedes is back! - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By GermanCarFan - December 25 - 11:06 am

  This car is a tank. Its as solid as any car Ive owned, and that includes every make except Chrysler, including a couple BMWs, an Audi, and two E Class sedans. Its not a BMW and shouldnt be compared to one. Its more of a traditional car than a 3 series, which sits lower and feels more compact. The styling is crisp, and the C Class is the best looking Benz in my opinion. The interior takes a lot of hits in the car magazines. I dont understand why. Its executed beautifully, with lots of soft-touch surfaces and understated German solidity. Its not a Lexus, so dont expect baby bottom-soft leather and gaudy wood tones. If you buy a Mercedes, appreciate it for what it is.

  Sorry Lincoln and Caddy-The End - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By kkear3 - November 7 - 6:51 pm

  My lease is up and so it is time to say goodbye to this fine automobile. As much as I would like to buy it out, leasing is set up to discourage that. The biggest problem is MB color pallette: Black, white and 15 shades of gray. The gorgeous quartz blue is no longer offered. Only two total problems with car: The transfer case I posted about back at 40K miles and a malfunctioning air valve which turned on the check-engine light. Both problems repaired under warrantee.

  Pleasant Surprise - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By John Byrne - October 8 - 9:03 am

  I have been a Camry owner for 11 years and loved it. Decided to take a step up and looked at BMW, Lexus, Acura and Audi and decided on the C-300. It was a bit like Golidlox, the BMW too performance oriented, the Lexus to posh and soft, but found the MB to be pretty much in the middle and like the looks. Loved the ride and looking forward to seeing how it performs in the winter. I also knew that I would be sacrificing something on the mileage side, both with the premium fuel and the larger engine but the trade off has been a fair one. So far I think I made the right decision. The dealership couldnt have been better

  Second C - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By mbinny - August 31 - 4:28 pm

  Yes this is my second C class, the first being a 2005 C280 (The older body style) which I thought was the greatest car ever built giving you best of all worlds; Sporty, Luxury, Stylish, etc... I didnt think the car could get any better and then I test drove the 2010 C300 Lux 4matic and it was love at first sight all over again. The car is completely different but still has that MB feel of solid German egineering. Tight as a drum but smooth and confident in all areas; accel, stop, turn and hwy. I love this car. I look forward to driving it every chance I have.

  2.5 years with C300 Lux - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By autoaficion - June 18 - 5:33 am

  Overall, this is a very well built car that drives very nicely. Ive always has standard-brand cars, but this time I splurged and bought the German car Ive always wanted. It is not the sporting model, but it handles and moves perfectly for daily driving. Its small, so easily maneuvers in tight spaces, but has the premium features. The up-and-down nav and entertainment screen is kind of silly, but I find the iPod integration to be excellent and easy to use with the round controller on the center console. I enjoy the car greatly, but the mystique of having a Mercedes is all in my head; its not like having a Mercedes back when I was a kid and they were special and infrequent.

  Best Car Ive even owned! - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By glennhl - May 26 - 7:33 am

  This is my second Mercedes. I had a 97 E320 which I liked a lot, but the new 2010 C300 is the best car Ive ever owned. It does everything very well. I dont know how Mercedes does it. It rides great, but it also handles great. It gets excellent fuel mileage, but it also has plenty of power. The IPOD and bluetooth work great and makes it a pleasure to drive the car. It is amazing how much car you can get for a car that only costs in the mid 30s.

  Health System Specialist - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

  I was surprised with the performance of the car. I tested the BMW 325 and the 300 has better performance that the BMW.

  Hope Im Not Sorry! - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Picky Lady - March 3 - 3:03 pm

  After owning two Audi A4s and a BMW I thought I would explore the "competition" in the auto world. I too was "lured" in with the "fantastic deal" and appropriate trade-in on a 2010 C300 4-Matic Sport that I had purchased in late November 2009. I live in Minnesota (which this year has had a lot of snow. So far, I must say that the handling in snow is not what I had expected from a all- wheel drive car. It does not compare at all to the A4 Quattro (much more sure-footed)or my BMW for that matter. MBs back end swerves out (and not at a fast speed!) when turning or cornering in snowy conditions. So far the final verdict is still out, but right now,not very impressed with Mercedes handling.

  1 year, 10,000 miles, and very satisfied - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By autoaficion - December 7 - 6:24 am

  Ive just spent a year and 10,000 miles with my C300 Luxury, and I am happy to report that I am very satisfied. Instead of aiming for the sportiest model in the range, I decided to buy the Luxury model and dont regret that choice at all - this is an excellent small luxury car with enough sportiness to make it fun to drive without being a tiresome daily driver. With the premium 1 package and media package, it has everything I could want. The only downside: the friends and acquaintances who judge me for buying a Mercedes ("its pretentious"). In the past, I always chose something more value-priced and was not content long term. This car has what it takes to merit long-term ownership.

  Great style, features, and performance - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By 1stbenzowner - August 15 - 3:56 am

  Purchased our White/Almond c300 Sport 4Matic @ 1 month ago. Love the comfort, safety, features (especially the Bluetooth, Multimedia, and Ipod). Extremely quiet, solid ride and a head- turner. However, is it the quickest in the category? No. But we didnt purchase the car for its 0-60 quickness. You can get on the highway fine and pass when needed. We traded in a 30 Acura TLS, so its quite slow compared to that. In our opinion MB was an excellent mix of all aspects: safety, comfort, appearance inside and out, ergonomic appeal, performance. Test drove G37 (quick but hard & loud), A4, TL, IS250 AWD (our 2nd choice but backseat too small for longer than a 5 minutes.)Love it overall!
