It's The Best — It has the best performance, acceleration, braking, handling and all. It as needed some repairs like battery changing, oil changing, etc. I love its interior and exterior appearance. It's a lot of fun to drive because it's fast. I think everyone should get one

I Expected Much More From Mercedes In Terms Of Quality Construction. This Area Is A Major Failure. — I thought I was buying a finely tuned automobile in the MB C240. What I have now is a money pit. The problems, such as the rear sun shade that won't retract, deteriorating steering wheel cover, and now a cracked sun roof drain pan ($2,000 repair) are never ending. I had a Honda Accord that lasted 18 years with no MAJOR repairs. It would run circles around the headaches the C240 are creating. For me, this car is soon to be traded. Maybe for a Toyota!

Awesome — Awesome! Fun to drive, very dependable. Lots of power when you need it. great gas mileage for this powerful car. Inexpensive to maintain for a German sportscar. Awesome inside and out, D is always worried about the salt buildup on the car, thats why I get to wash and wax it! Not that I mind >;-P

built quality, handling, gas mileage

Cons

maintenance cost, low hp

Although A Bit Expensive It's A Really Good Car. — Normal car, torque from low revs really helps for powerslides and economy, top-notch build quality, amazing brakes and handling thanks to evolution pack, the exterior styling could be better in the rear section, interior is very nice looking, although the space in the back isn't enough for a tall person, gas mileage is very good(in long trips you can get below 8 L/km), maintenance cost is quite high since it's a Mercedes, the car is generally really good and after the tyres are warmed up you can have a very good drive.

Black Widow — I love everything besides getting pulled over constantly by the cops. Its super fast and great in handling in all surfaces besides ice. Its pretty decent in gas mileage but then again you don't buy a performance car for the mileage lol.

A Rich Man's Son's Car — a Car like this is something a man shud go through. Elegance, beauty, save and ofcourse CLASSY!! IF some1 ever talk about car, u shall keep quiet b4 u drive a Mercedes ;) this car is realy not that fun (maybe a try a C350/ 320cdi), but dont underestimate the Merc engineer. Its got its overall performance to be above average! Go onto the Highway to experience the truth mercedes benz!! its cruising ability is extremely good!! I say... its even better than other "b" brand!!
