- thecarconnection—STYLING:2009 Mercedes-Benz C-Class shoppers have a choice between Sport and Luxury; both are great, but the interior needs more attention;PERFORMANCE:The 2009 Mercedes-Benz C-Class offers typically tight European handling, but unless you choose the over-the-top AMG version, its power isn’t the most inspiring;QUALITY:Comfort and space is clearly sacrificed for compactness in the 2009 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but refinement is not;SAFETY :Mercedes-Benz’s reputation for safety continues with the 2009 C-Class’ safety features and is supported by crash-test ratings;FEATURES:The 2009 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is near the top of its class in features.
- NewCarTestDrive—The Mercedes C-Class has something for everyone, unless they seek four-cylinder economy in a premium compact sedan. Redesigned in 2008 and further refined for 2009 it adds an element of driving enjoyment to known Mercedes characteristics of safety, stability and luxury defined by driving performance. And if you don’t need the larger rear seat, it does so for about $18,000 less than an E-Class.

Buying Tips:
For those lamenting the lack of a four-cylinder C-Class model, the Mercedes E320 CDI BlueTec model is a gas-sipping alternative with a highway fuel efficiency rating of 32 mpg—and more backseat room.

This C350 Sport Sedan is no doubt a beautiful car. It is also a great value for a Mercedes Benz of its class. Its look Appearance emulates the S class combined with AMG styling. The 3 point star is my favorite feature of the car. The only other 4 door MB sedan with the 3 point star is the more expensive CLS 4 door coupe series which in my opinion doesn’t comes close to looks in relations to the C-350. While the upper crust MB’s might offer more options and slightly better quality in materials, you can’t go wrong with the C-350 Sport. The size, 4-door, quality and the look is just right for me. You get a lot of ?bang? for your bucks in this little Mercedes. FYI, for 2007-08 MB ranked 3rd with JD powers so it should be a reliable good automobile. In the end, this car is sure to turn heads ? and it does. I love it. The only CON I have is the odd position of the cruise control. However, I don’t use cruise control and eventually I’ll get used to it

I just turned 50 and this C63 AMG Sport Sedan is my first Mercedes. I have never felt this much thrill from a new car and I have had several. This car is a street legal race machine. I does 0 to 60 in 4.2 seconds. The car is worth every penny, I will keep this one!

I have owned the C300 4MATIC Sport Sedan car for 3 months now and racked up almost 10,000 miles for the first service (which was nearly $300) for an oil change and some other magic potion I guess….but the car has been excellent. No mechanical problems, no issues whatsoever to date.
Overall, this is really a great car – comfortable on long trips, sporty when you want it to be, great technology – the Bluetooth option is one you will NEVER regret if you’re a talker and the sound system is also not at all a dissapointment!
There are a few things that really do annoy me however.
First, it does not allow you to enter an address on the Nav system while it is in motion. Second, the DVD player shuts down as soon as the car starts moving, so the kids can watch a movie as long as the car is not moving…..what’s the point of having it there….they should have just mounted screens in the back as its useless for kids. Third, at this price point, the loaded model should have had rear heated seats as well as rear climate control options for people in the back.
I would reccomend the car to anyone so far!
