Introduction
chuck717
Exterior Styling - 10
Smaller E class look with raked body,AMG pkg on sport model gives a nice sporty low slung appealing style
Interior Styling - 8
While quality in appearance the dash is dated
Exterior Build/Materials Quality - 9
Body hardware is much improved over past C Class models
Interior Build/Materials Quality - 9
Good quality look and feel with nice stiching, door panels fit very nicely
Engine Performance - 8
good for highway driving and merging into traffic, but the car could have had a bit more power for sure, the 7 speed auto is xlnt
Handling/Braking - 9
Handling is right up their with the competition and the braking is quite good
Fuel Efficiency - 8
We avg 21.9 combine milage it could be better but very a acceptable for around town. Premium grade seems to be a must for maxium mpg
Available Features/Options - 8
Not to many the car comes well equip but upgraded sound system and Nav would seem all this car really needs
Cost of Ownership - 8
Well lets face it it is a German car so get to know a good euro mech when the 4 year warranty runs out if you plan to keep it
Value - 10
This car has a lot of nice things going for it style, solid feel and ride, great price point. I think it is really a best in class when you consider a entry level machine
Conclusion
Bought this car for my wife, we both enjoy it's nice handling and solid feel. A true value in it's class for under 32k
