Overall A Great Buy — It's a great car, what you can expect from a Mercedes-Benz, has great handling, if you get the premium Hardon/Kardon speakers, they're amazing. It;s a great car with many safety features, but if you're looking for something more sporty you should turn your head to BMW.

Solid — Frankly, this car is what I expect when purchasing German engineering. This is my second C Class--I traded a 2004 240 4-matic purchased new...I anticipate my next new car purchase will be a C350 4-matic coupe...

Pros

Styling is great. The fit and finish and quality of all parts is excellent. The performance is superb with super smooth shifting through all 7 gears.  The interior and cargo spaces are very good. A person could actually sit in the back seat.

Cons

Mercedes does not offer Free Maintenance for 4 years. This is a standard option on BMW and Cadillac

2012 Mercedes C-350 Coupe — This is the first time Mercedes offers a Coupe in the C Class car. Previously you had to get a larger Series and pay a lot more money. Most dealers tend to stock the C-250 Coupe because of its lower cost. However, The 350 Coupe is well worth the extra money. It has many features standard that are options on the 250 Coupe model. The performance is very similar to the BMW 335-I Coupe. - its fast. While MB says that Premium fuel is required, we have found that it runs perfectly on any good quality of Regular fuel. The actual fuel mileage obtained is quite a bit better than the EPA sticker says. The first 5,000 miles had an overall average of 26.1 mpg. That included a lot of in town driving and 80 mph Interstate driving. The quality, ride and handling of this car are hard to beat. Test drive one and you too will be hooked.

Built quality and technology used in the car ..

Quick 4 Door Compact Sedan — Performance - Acc : 0-100km 6.0s Braking : Dont know the figures but it's ventilated & perforated disks. Sometimes the car slips when going around corners fast, but Built quality is great and the new 2012 looks are far better than the old one ..!

This New For 2012 Is The Best C-class Yet And Much More Attractive Than The 3 Series, Infiniti G.... — I've had 10 Luxury cars of various makes and models in recent years and this by far is my favorite. It does everything well, but I'd say the steering/handling/refinement/efficiency/power and appearance make it the best car for me.
