What Owners Say
"I have owned Audi, BMW and previous gen C-Class. This car has by far the best balance of performance and comfort. It has been a joy to drive since day 1."
Anonymous, ON (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Fun to drive in all settings, but choosing sport or more yields a fabulously handling vehicle."
Anonymous, NM (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Comfort is excellent"
P B., CT (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"With various settings for handling this car drives either in comfort setting or three different modes to stiffen ride and affect the handling via steering feel."
Irv C., NY (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"This MB is very fast, which surprised me, and it handles extremely well."
Anonymous, NJ (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Sharp, responsive handling while maintaining a comfortable ride. The turbo four provides snappy acceleration and the 7-speed auto is always in the proper gear."
Ken K., CA (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Performance"
Anonymous, FL (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Superb handling and very fast pickup."
DON P., TX (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Very smooth and surprisingly peppy for a 4 cylinder engine."
HAL S., GA (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Fast, great handling"
GREGORY W., FL (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Excellent acceleration with the 2.0 tubo and good handling."
Anonymous, CA (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"This car is FAST! 0-60 in 3.9sec may be conservative. The torque curve is also very linear. It feels like if it's 3.9 sec to 60mph, then it's 7.8 sec to 120mph. Acceleration doesn't drop off. Handling is very good. Not quite as good as my 2013 BMW M3, but very good still."
TIM M., IL (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"The automated safety features. I ordered the car in order to get the lane keeping, automatic cruise, auto braking in emergencies, etc. The whole package cost only $2700. If it only saves my life once it is well worth the cost. It kept me from changing lanes into a truck once (not a signal, it won't steer into another vehicle) and kept me from rear ending a school bus at a blind railroad crossing. The car crammed on the brakes and stopped for me! Oddly, my insurance company, USAA, gives no cr"
JOHN T., AZ (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Excellent driving, like the selector to change from Comfort all the way to Sport + and customization"
DAVID J., NY (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"The Car is a joy to Drive. Both my wife and I rate this very much fun to drive"
DARLENE G., MA (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"the C400 Mercedes Sedan is the best performing vehicle I have ever owned. I have 53,000 miles since Sept.of 2014 all on pleasure trips. The ride to handling compromise is perfect for me. I can hit 130 mph when conditions allow and it is stable and fully controlled. throttle response from the twin turbo V6 feels better than big V8, with max torque around 1400 RPM. extensive aluminum in the chassis and panels keep weight down but provides excellent stiffness and low NVH. I have spent most of my l"
ROBERT N., NM (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Although there is some turbo lag at low RPM, this car accelerates incredibly well. The combination of the torque turbo engine, along with the precision and reflexes of the 7 speed transmission, mean extremely good response, even in low speed city driving, where turbo lag often makes turbo cars struggle. Despite having the auto-start/stop feature, this car still pretty much always manages to pull ahead off the line at every traffic light. Makes a pretty decent 4-cylinder sound too. The accelerati"
Anonymous, MD (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Shocks bottom on very easily"
JERRY J., CA (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Remarkable acceleration for a four cylinder motor"
Anonymous, OR (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"drives and handles well; very cramped"
Anonymous, NY (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"great handling in town & country"
BO W., TX (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"I was surprised by the type of problem (device holding fuel injectors) and the exceptional length of time it took to repair (nearly two weeks as dealer, claims, it had to send to German for the part), such that I may not buy this car again."
Anonymous, CA (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"The four cylinder turbo's performance is certainly there. The numbers match the what would be expected from a six. But you are missing the smoothness, refinement and linear acceleration of a six cylinder."
KEN K., CA (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Quick, hugs the road very well, soft ride"
Aaron S., FL (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Absolutely amazing acceleration. Handles very well but comfort mode suspension way too stiff."
Mickey B., CA (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Acceleration, mileage, safety, navigation"
G A., MB (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Road handling"
Anonymous, NY (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"We previously had a 2010 Mercedes C Class which we liked but the acceleration and handling on the 2015 is much improved"

Steven E., CA (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Hard to believe it is only a 4 cylinder engine. Easy to maneuver."
Anonymous, PA (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Great acceleration and torque. Good response for a turbo charger with minimal ag."
Anonymous, VA (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Amazing acceleration and handling, one of the quickest cars I've ever driven on top of being a real joy on the road."
Anonymous, MD (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"handles well, very comfortable great safety features"
Anonymous, NC (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Acceleration for passing is good, with some hesitation. Corning is great and makes the car fun to drive."
Anonymous, NM (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Handles very well, nice acceleration, good gas mileage."
Steven S., MA (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"The C350 coupe is fun to drive. Lots of HP and torque which makes for incredible acceleration, particularly in "Sport" mode. Low profile tires and a well-tuned suspension makes it handle like a true sports car."
Enrique H., IL (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"generally ok, not exceptionally comfortable. My older 2015 c280 feel more solid and confortable."
Anonymous, CA (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Wonderful ride and and smooth ride, if you need to pass you have ll the power you need to do so."
John T., MO (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Very dissatisfied with distronic system, prone to failure."

Michael C., WA (2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"the car is a C400 and has 330Hp, accelerates very quickly and with the adjustable suspension can handle as well as you want or ride as nice and soft as you want. It is very, very quite. The best car I have ever had"
