What Car? says
For A good cruiser, the Mercedes C-Class is comfortable and classy
Against The middle rear seat is useless, so don't expect to take more than four
Verdict
A good, solid prestige car that you can now have for supermini money
Go for… C200 Elegance
Avoid… Costly AMG
- 1. Comfort is a big plus point, with better head-, shoulder- and legroom than in contemporary rivals
- 2. Electrical faults aren't unknown, so make sure that all the gadgets work before you buy
- 3. Don't worry if you hear clonks when turning the wheel. It's a sign of worn bushes in the anti-roll bars and steering joints, but they're cheap to fix
- 4. The C180 and C200 both perform well, but we'd have the C200 given the choice
- 5. None of the models are particularly well equipped, but Elegance is the best balance of kit and cost
