What Owners Say
"Great acceleration,spot-on handling. Fabulous gas mileage - 33.8 mpg on a long trip."
Bruce B., NV (2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"The C63 AMG is a legendary car for good reason. Its like driving a fighter jet. The car literally attacks the road like it holds a grudge. With the traction assist off, it will effortlessly drift the rear tires in a predictable and controlled manner with good pedal control. Acceleration is blinding. Braking is just as sudden and easy to control. It is truly a beautiful car to drive. Fast, predictable and savage all in one."
Che S., CA (2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"It's very responsive and allows rapid acceleration with solid gas mileage."
Carol H., CA (2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Acceleration good, handling is excellent. Navigation system is difficult to set up. Therefor I tend to use my iPhone for navigation. Radio doesn’t turn itself off. Have turn volume down. Very comfortable."
Anonymous, ME (2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"German engineering. Tight feel; no rattles; very responsive"
Henry L., MD (2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Very responsive. I don’t have to worry about being able to pass other cars on 2 lane highways because I know I will be able to accelerate quickly enough to do that with no problem."
Anonymous, KS (2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"accelerating from a stop or slow speed low rpm is a bit sluggish unless the tubo is on. at higher speeds/rpm its ok for a 4 cylinder engine."
Anonymous, CA (2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"turbo hesitation means car actually loses speed - or seems to - when turbo is initially engaged... irritating, possibly dangerous"

Frazell T., PA (2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"I researched this car well before purchasing it. I has lived up to my expectations! For a rear-wheel drove it accelerates and handles well especially in Sport mode.I do wish gas milage was better but again I knew what the gas mileage would be before buying it."
Gerald V., PA (2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"The acceleration and handling is very very good."
Cal S., CA (2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"acceleration is smooth, controlled with sudden acceleration the turbo charger engages immediately and smoothly. I have had other 4 cylinder autos in the past, but this one runs so smoothly quietly, and without vibration even at idle."

HOWARD W., NY (2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Very agile, precise steering and good acceleration."
WAYNE J., FL (2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Very good power, but quite a lot of engine noise. This car also has a stiff suspension that can get uncomfortable"
PETER H., CA (2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Brisk acceleration and phenomenal handling. Highway mileage averages about 33 MPG. I love this car!"
BRUCE B., NV (2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"It lags quite a bit. I assume that is related to the turbo, but I don't like it."
