What Car? says
For The C-Class is practical, stylish, reliable, great to drive and well equipped
Against It's expensive, and many dislike the foot-operated parking brake
Verdict
Very satisfying to own and to drive, but not as roomy as its predecessor
Go for… C180 Kompressor Classic SE
Avoid… You'll need big pockets for any C350
- 1. Fold down the rear seats and the boot capacity stretches to an impressive 1384 litres
- 2. There are widespread reports of problems with the electronics and software
- 3. The car's basically sound, but you should keep an ear out for odd noises from the suspension
- 4. There's no shortage of choice, but the C180K with Classic or Classic SE trim is the pick of the range
- 5. The C-Class estate is everything you could want - practical and good to drive
