Description

There are not many bad things to say about the new Mercedes C Class. The fact that it ranked one out of 15 for upscale small to medium cars on rankingsandreviews.com speaks volumes. In terms of design, performance, safety and reliability it is impressive.

Looking at the interior and exterior most critics agree that it is a good looking car. A car that demands attention. When they sit in the drivers see and experience the very composed ride, they rate it well against the competition. With key competitors such as the Audi A4 which is known for its responsive and powerful engine, as well as high fuel economy, and the BMW 328i which handles like a race care and is also renowned for its stylish design, you know it is an exceptional car.

Whether you choose the C300 or the C400, you will have more than enough power for every day driving. The seven speed automatic transmission is a leader in its class and leads to superior speed.

There is a choice of BlueTEC Diesel or petrol in the C200 range, as well as the C300 range. The 2.1 litre diesel is the big seller because of its fuel efficiency.

What is impressive, is that Mercedes seems to have taken technology and extras from their well respected S range and have brought them into the cheaper C range. While still more expensive than the competition, when you compare these extras and the specs of the competitors the C class definitely crosses the line first. The glass panoramic roof, the automatic air freshener options are also nice touches.

Conclusion

While there is competition from both the Audi A4 and the BMW 328, the Mercedes C class is deemed to be the best in the market. Yes, it can be pricey, and yes the Audi does have slightly better fuel economy, but the spacious cabin, extensive safety features and reliability record make it hard to beat.

If you are in the market for a luxury medium size sedan that comes with all the trimmings, its hard to go past the Mercedes C Class.
