Mercedes C Class reviews

I love the space in my car, handling is decent but nothing compared to BMW’s M sport. I think power is good I seem to be able to hitting legal speeds with ease. I’ve had my car for over 3 years now, bought the car with 120k miles and now has 166k but still feels as good as when I bought it. Reliability has been great with this car even though parts don’t come cheap when need to be changed. I think as long as you stay on top with service you should drive these cars till electric cars take over. I’ve always liked BMWs but since owning this car I feel like this is where to be if you love comfort.

The C63 AMG is almost Mercedes-AMG's flagship car. Its the one everyone knows and talks about. The 4.0L V8 Bi Turbo engine does sounds ridiculous. You can get the most amazing thrills from just shifting up and down from 1st to 2nd on a high-street! The car is rear-wheel drive so it isn't easy to smash the power down, however when you do the thing flies. Many people say that you don't need so much power for the road and things similar to that but in comparison to other cars which don't lay down this much power (such as the C43 or E43) - it does give you a better thrill at low speed. Accelerating to 30 mph in this car is fun and the engine really makes it an enjoyable experience. The running costs are not cheap - but that's not what you buy an AMG for. The running costs are going to be expensive in all AMG's and although I am sure that this 4.0L V8 does have bad efficiency - if you can afford a C63 then you need to think about whether the fuel economy is really that bad. If you don't drive your car that often (and you will only fill up 1-2 times a week) then it's a definite good buy. If it's a daily commute car with long journeys all the time, then the C or E43 is probably gonna be a little bit cheaper. But as I said - just buy a NON-AMG if economy is what you're after. The C300 is a good option. It's a smooth car and I have no problems with the comfort in a C63 AMG and of course the reliability is excellent. The space is great - back seats are plentiful with space and the boot is large enough to fit a couple of suitcases. The lack of abundance comes in headroom in the back seats - but of course, if you want good headroom you will need an SUV or an S Class Mercedes.

This car was a great find. Whilst some would say it’s already 10 years old and what I pad was too expensive I would say it’s a bargain. This car was spotless and looked like it came straight out of the showroom. It had travelled less than 9000 miles and had a full service history.when you lifted the bonnet you saw a sparkly new engine which hadn’t even broken in. Any mercedes driver would tell you that this is an amazing find. Kinsbourne Motors were a pleasure to deal with and very accommodating to my travel situation. Richard and Maddie communicate with potential buyers very well. Their customer service is second to none. Their cars are priced in such a way that realistically you wouldn’t need to barter because all cars seem like they are value for money. I gave it maximum scores however for space practicality I gave it a 4. This is because I think that all saloon cars should have the ability to fold down the rear seats so larger items can be stored in the boot. Whilst the boot is large I would just like to see that feature. The drive is very smooth and the performance is great. I chose this model after upgrading from the previous W203 which I was very happy with after using it for 180k miles. This car should last me for years to come.

Comfort and space for 4 adults (5 at a squeeze). Good boot size for a saloon. Very smooth suspension - some people need to get used to. It's not quite as practical as a Golf/can't put seats down. But apart from sometimes having to chop stuff up to fit in, this luxury car doubles quite well for dump trips too.

Perfect for long distance driving.Poor economy on short distances.

The quality, comfort and performance is as good as ever.

The old Mercedes sports coupe has proved to be a reliable motot and economic to run. Expenses occur whenparts and complex servicing is required. I've driven this one for 13 years and choose not to swop it - so fa.

Brilliant car in all aspects of comfort, performance and costs, as long as you stay away from main dealers you can run a merc for the cost of a Ford Focus. A very safe car with airbags for every occasion, mine is a fairly basic model as far as the available technology is concerned but still has enough whistles and bells to keep me amused and sometimes confused. The driving experience is one of the best I've experienced with more than enough power and an economy that is the best I've known in any other car I've owned.

nice car except for infotainment, (sat nav, Bluetooth operation, music streaming ect) grossely over complicated to operate and to many sub menus to operate whilst driving. and engine noise intrusive for a premium car.

Northern Lights Purple in colour - fantastic! On screen computer lets you know when something need sorting eg low tyre pressure, brake pads need checking. Reversing camera, park assist. Economy driving, race driving. Cruise control, speed setting.

This is my latest of five Mercedes I have owned only my second C class,we have a frequent need for the carrying capacity of the estate, I purchased this car used with only 30,000 on the clock from a main Mercedes dealer, it is looked after by an independent Mercedes Specialist who is only 2 miles from where I live. Having been in the Motor Trade for 40 years, in many parts of the trade including 30 years in the workshop so have a complete understanding of their workings. This car is superb it is very comfortable with full leather trim, a V6 engine which is silky smooth, and automatic gearbox, and is petrol. The newer C class has had a complete face lift since my one,which I did not like at first,but will certainly take a closer look when I am considering changing , but while this one is running so well I am not even going to look. I can highly recommend this model.

A very practical car and the new 250 engine is definitely worth the extra cost. For a diesel the performance is exceptional, fuel economy is second to none and considering the emissions which mean only £30 pa road tax it is a feat of engineering. Interior is top class and all round I think this is a great family car.

running costs over the years are minimal with regular serviceing

I was fortunate to be able to replace my ten year old manual SAAB 1.9 litre diesel estate with a new 1.9 litre automatic Mercedes petrol estate. I never really liked diesel as it's smelly, dirty and full of particulates: also, the engine vibrates and is noisy. Nevertheless, it has served me well. The Mercedes engine is smooth and the fuel economy is better than that of the SAAB.

I have owned Mercedes now for many years and have been impressed with the build quality and the superb way the vehicles are designed both asthetically and underthe bonnet. I would certainly recommend anyone to purchase one of these cars either new or secondhand if it is with a full service history by Mercedes.

Bought this car as a stop-gap without high expectations... have been more than impressed. Used a new Vauxhall estate recently - was surprised how bad it was in comparison to a 100,000 mile Merc.

Its a real shame mercedes have dropped the 350 d from the new c class range why?

This car is the best I have had to date. Easy to drive, comfortable and spacious. I love the AGM package as it allows for really easy controls to everything and is fun to drive.

My old merc has never let me down,it has the usual rust round the wheel arches,but apart from that its excellent.It drives so quietly,i cant hear the engine much.Its done 158000 miles,and will do that much again.One small point,Mercedes own spares are very pricey,so i go to Euro car parts or similar.

I am very pleased with my Mercedes C180. Its performance, comfort and range of devices are excellent. It is just a little restricted in size especially the boot compared with my previous Mondeo hatchback.
