2007 Mercedes-Benz C-Class - I feel safe and secure in my Mercedes C280.
The overall safeness and dependability of this car is exceptional. It has four-wheel drive, ABS braking system, excellent reliability and control in the snow, and multiple add-on features that have made this car one of the best that I have ever owned. I have put over 35,000 miles on this car since its purchase and not one single part has needed fixed or replaced. I have only had to complete routine, yearly maintenance on this car. In addition, the interior of this car has held up for over two years. The leather has remained intact, with no cracks or scratches, despite heavy use. The sound system in this car is superior! All of the speakers are top quality and have remained in excellent shape through years of use. Even though this is a luxury car, the fuel economy is rather good for the... (more)
The overall safeness and dependability of this car is exceptional.

In addition, the interior of this car has held up for over two years. The leather has remained intact, with no cracks or scratches, despite heavy use. The sound system in this car is superior! All of the speakers are top quality and have remained in excellent shape through years of use. Even though this is a luxury car, the fuel economy is rather good for the year of the car. It gets approximately 22 miles per gallon in the city and 30 miles per gallon on the highway. The excellent fuel economy in this luxury car makes it inexpensive for me to drive about an hour to the mountains for snowboarding trips with my partner. All in all, I absolutely love this car and would recommend it to any new/used car buyer due to the main fact that I have not had any issues with any system in this car (electrical, exhaust, etc.).
A memorable experience I had in this vehicle would be spinning 360 degrees down an extremely steep hill by my house in a white-out snowstorm and not putting one scratch or dent into the car. I survived because of the stability, traction, and overall control that the car maintained through a large sheet of ice and snow-covered roadway.

The positive things about this vehicle include: great fuel economy, overall dependability and reliability, and the style of the interior. My favorite features of the car include: four-wheel drive, ABS braking system, the stereo system, and the add-on automatic sunshade on the rear windshield.

2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class - Feels luxurious!
I love this car because it is affordable luxury. I drove all competitors before I decided on this car, and I chose the Mercedes because it felt complex yet simple. The car does a ton of things in the dashboard computer, but it wasn't overly complex like the Audi. It drove better to me than the BMW, smoother, tighter. I also liked the look of the car, because it was both classic and modern.

I love the sound system and driving with the MP3 plugged in on my favorite music. To forward to the next song, all you have to do is click the conveniently located dial on the console, which is easy. It's a great way to quickly adjust to whatever music I want!

I love the option to view my gas consumption in different ways - miles to go, MPG over different amounts of time. I also love the display for the radio/MP3. The gas mileage is really good, especially in town - I rarely fill the gas tank more than once a month, and I can make it halfway to family (11 hrs of driving) on one tank of gas. The seat is really comfortable for long drive. I can fit a ton of stuff in the trunk.

The leather on the seats is not as durable as I'd like it to be. A heavy box split one of the seats almost immediately.
The seat adjustment memory buttons are not intuitive.

2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class - It's a good car if you don't mind spending a lot on your vehicle.
One of the biggest drawbacks for me is that the car doesn't really give the best ride quality. If you are looking for a smoother ride quality, you will need to invest in the optional air suspension system. The ride quality feels a bit softer on other C-Class trims though from what I have experienced. Also, another con is that the rear seating is very crammed, even for children! As far as the user-friendliness of the car, it is not at all. It's difficult to use. Although visually appealing, it would not at all be good for elderly or folks that are not tech-savvy. What I can say, though, is that the ride is comfortable otherwise and is also very quiet. The sound system is great, the power options inside the car are fantastic, as are the other elements such as defrosting windshield, heate... (more)

The sound system is great, the power options inside the car are fantastic, as are the other elements such as defrosting windshield, heated seats, etc. Other things worth mentioning are that the truck is very small, and it may not be as high tech as some of the other cars on the market, although it is just right for me. All things considered though, it is a very expensive car in my opinion. Not only is the asking price a lot but so is the upkeep. It's costly to replace the tires and even to get the oil changed, much more expensive than the average car.
The first time I went through the drive through in my car, I couldn't figure out how to put the window down so I just had to open the door.

Quiet ride, good power options, heated seats, classy look, sun roof, four-wheel drive, spacious in front of cabin, good sound system.
