4 out of 5 stars

For Safe and solid: with good build quality and innovative technology to protect passengers, good cabin space and a big boot.

Against Not quite as good to drive as a BMW 3 Series, and there's some wind noise at higher speeds, but not much else.

Verdict This stylish estate has plenty of appeal, and is good to drive in either comfort-or sport-orientated models.

Go for… C220 CDI Sport

Avoid… C350 Sport

1. SE and Elegance models have the Mercedes star on the bonnet
2. the C220 CDI strikes the best balance between performance and affordability
3. Early cars suffered an automatic gearbox issue, with long hesitations during gearchanges
4. The electronic key can stop working, stranding owners. Sometimes it can stop working altogether, or operate intermittently
5. The estate version has a garage mode, so it doesn't open the tailgate fully when there's restricted headroom
