2002 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers love the 2002 Mercedes-Benz C-Class for its solid performance, comfort, and economical fuel efficiency, particularly the 220 CDI model. They appreciate its powerful torque and handling capabilities for fun driving experiences. However, some drivers are frustrated by the vehicle's acceleration, maintenance costs, and occasional reliability issues, such as electrical problems and high maintenance expenses."
Great car! Fast and has a great engine! Looks very luxury and sport at the same time! Interior is small but nice! Black is preferred! saves gas! Handles nicely! doesn't have to be fixed alot if at all for a long time!
March 25, 2014My car is about 8 years old now and at 70k miles still runs like new. I had a few problems with it, all VERY minor. Though I had to sink about 8-10k into the car after buying it, I think it was worth it. But word to the wise, do NOT buy this car unless you are willing to keep up with the repairs. Though its a lovely car and drives AMAZING, it WILL nickle-dime you to death. The mileage is great, I get about 30 on the high way. There are no squeaks or rattles, and the leather looks new. It is a very fun car to drive, and I don't want to give it up for a very long time. BTW I own this car in a manual, shifting is a breeze, double clutching isn't necessary most of the time.
June 3, 2010rear suspension squeaks/rattles after 7 years of mild ownership, Paint still shines but some rust bottom of doors and wheel arches starting to show. Superb braking, handling, great looks Throttle delay in acceleration for a fraction of a second is annoying. Fun to drive anyways

June 6, 2009All the bells and whistles. Has a good sound' handling is decent, not brilliant. The car is stable, but not in high speed corners. It makes you work, and if you get it right, you feel as if you did it, and not the car, A rewarding experience to master a drive in this beast.
January 8, 2008Gas mileage is about 23mpg combined. Lots of fun to drive. Expensive to maintain. Requires Premium gas. RWD is great. Great automatic although i would love to own a manual. Has some typical problems like weak sunroof motor. Has to many sensors for its own good.
April 11, 2009Excellent car... only a few problems with the Kompressor system. Great interior materials... Gas mileage is really nice with good driving. Mainteinance is really high but if u can afford to buy it... u can afford to take it to service once in a while
September 28, 2009The performance of this car is excellent for the price. The acceleration is great, the handling awesome, but brakes weak. The build quality is awesome like all Mercedes. The interior is nice, but the outside has a look you have to learn to love. Horrible on gas for a 4 cylinder, but easy on maintenance (never had a problem). As for fun factor being a six speed sports car its always fun.
June 19, 2009High maint cost but amazing to drive. very respnsive and very fast for a sedan. fun to blow away mustangs and camaros cause they do not think it is a sports car. not a winter car by any means but can mange with winter tires
October 23, 2009Reliable and solid. Needs a few more horses but the torque is great for a four cylinder. Gas mileage is on the poor range (20 to 25 avg daily driving for me) Upgrade the wheels and tyres as soon as you can. The handling is 10 times better than with the stock set.
April 6, 2008Very reliable car,never experienced any problems with it !!Would recommend it to a friend.Back seats fold down.it gives more space in the trunk.Went on a long trip,very comfortable .can put baby car sear in the back.overall 5 stars
