1994 Mercedes-Benz C220

The 1994 Mercedes-Benz C-class replaced the Benz 190.  The C220 was a  mid-sized luxury car, at the lower end of the luxury lines.  The engine was a  2.2-liter, 4-cylinder, with 148 ponies.

All cars came standard with automatic transmissions, an interior full of wood trim stretching from the dashboard to the rear doors.  Also standard were a sunroof, dual airbags, and ABS.

Owners rave about the fuel efficiency of the C-class Benz as well as its heating and cooling systems.  But, in true status-conscious fashion, most also admit to appreciating the looks and attention they get when driving the '94 C220.

Even in their first year of production, the '94 C-class Mercedes won eight important automotive awards in the U.S.
