Driving Experience
Includes acceleration and handling
What Owners Say
"4 cylinder rocket ship. 241 hp, I think Mercedes is sandbagging ."
Joe C., NY (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Adequately fast and precise steering. Acceleration response at all speeds and secure handling"
Joel M., NV (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Handles well but a bit underpowered. Considering the gas mileage it’s a fair trade off."
Steven W., NY (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"ease of 1 button to let the vinyl top down plus can also use a car wash to clean car since i do not have time to clean myself"
Chester K., OH (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"great on gas, and quick acceleration"
David T., NC (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"The exhaust note stands out, the performance is very satisfactory for the money. A very nice daily driver"
Anonymous, TX (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"I particularly appreciatethe ability to change the suspension to accommodate the road conditions and the speed that I am driving at. I can firrm up the suspension on twisty back roads, or soften it when driving around town."
Jerry A., CT (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Excellent response, feels very light and easy to drive"
Anonymous, CA (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"I have owned two V8 powered Mustangs prior to my Mercedes C43. The handling of my C43 is almost very close to the mustangs handling but the acceleration exceeds the Mustangs."
Randy P., MO (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"I specifically bought a performance version, the AMG C43. The handling acceleration and sound of the vehicle are exhilarating when I want it, and "in the background" when I don't"
Anonymous, FL (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"The performance Exhaust for $1200 is a must and a bargain. Sounds fantastic. Also, the acceleration is brutal. The sport seats are surprisingly comfortable. I just did a road trip to Dallas Texas. 900 miles each way. My back, which is bad, held up great. The handling is good, but not as good as an M3, but certainly good enough for any public road."
Tim M., IL (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"All aspects are superb. Steering feeling is somewhat vague."
Anonymous, CA (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"This C-Class cannot compete with our 3-Series for real-world performance and driving ‘fun’ yet it far outperforms the latter in cabin comfort and overall quiet luxury."
Robert R., CA (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"it feels as if Porsche put this car together."
Dave H., GA (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Excellent acceleration and handling in most driving conditions"
Anonymous, CT (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Superb"
Leonard M., WA (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Gas Milage!"
Anonymous, TN (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Handles and accelerates with pin point precision."
Leslie P., ON (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Speedy little coupe"
Anonymous, CA (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"The eco mode (engine start/stop at idle) is very rough and is something that we keep turned off. It is disappointing that this is not better implemented and smoother"
Anonymous, FL (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Excellent acceleration and handling. AWD is very good in rain and snow."
Anonymous, NJ (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Best performance - this is not your father's SUV"
D K., NJ (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"It is good. Very comfortable when I need to pass another vehicle going uphill."
Neil R., NJ (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Outstanding power and great styling."
Gary D., NY (2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class)"Extraordinarily fast in the Comfort mode, shift the the Sport+ mode and it's a little scary. The ride is composed and predictable. My guests comment about how comfortable the ride is. The 4matic system has surpassed my expectations. It rivals my old MDX in the sense of control and it much better than my F150 in 4WD mode. The best part of the driving experience is the sound of the exhaust. : )"

"I am very impressed with the car's performance and handling. I have track experience in other cars and have driven racing cars and very high performance vehicles. This is a nice compromise for a daily driver. Practical yet still provides an enjoyable driver's experience."
