2010 mercedes-benz c-class review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. A true mercedes in a smaller size. introductionthe mercedes-benz c-class is the most compact and least expensive of the brand's sedan offerings. Yet it's no less a mercedes-benz. For drivers who want something sportier, the sport models provide that. Those want a street-legal racecar can order an amg version. the c-class is a terrific driving experience; great driver feedback through the steering, rock-solid, and so stable it's very difficult to get into trouble, and delivering to the driver a superb grasp, both literally and figuratively, on what the car is doing. The c350 comes with a 268-hp 3. 5-liter v6. The racy c63 amg features a 451-hp 6. 2-liter v8. compared with luxury models, sport versions use wider rear tires and wheels, sit more than half an inch lower, use firmer suspension settings, and get a three-spoke steering wheel. Sport sedans use a different grille with the mercedes-benz ringed star in it as opposed to the luxury with the star on the hood, and sport models use amg-style deeper front air dams, side skirts and rear aprons. Amg version are distinguished by unique styling cues. the c-class is not a big car, so tall drivers and business-people who routinely transport clients may find they need something bigger, such as an e-class. Standard equipment includes a new monitoring system that shows individual tire pressures. The outside mirrors are more aerodynamic and the steering wheel is wrapped in premium leather. The c300 sport trim level also has new 17-inch five-spoke alloy wheels. A new option is a dynamic handling package for sport models that includes active damping suspension, faster, speed-sensitive steering, and 18-inch five-twin-spoke amg alloy wheels; on those with the automatic transmission, this package includes steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles. In addition, for the first time on the c-class, the keyless-go system is now available, which gives push-button starting. All come with a 228-horsepower 3. 0-liter v6. The c300 sport comes with a six-speed manual gearbox, the others with a seven-speed automatic, which is also available on the sport 1,490). the c300 sport comes with dual-zone climate control, synthetic upholstery, tilt/telescoping multifunction wheel, power windows/locks/heated mirrors, moonroof, eight-way power sport seats, front and rear fog lamps, cruise control, trip computer/maintenance minder, am/fm/weather/cd audio system with aux input, bluetooth, leather-wrapped wheel and shifter, alarm, central controller, five-inch flip-up color display, aluminum trim, 17-inch aluminum wheels. the luxury c300 replaces the sport seats and aluminum trim with cushier seats and burl walnut trim.

Cosmetically and mechanically it is a different car from the windshield forward. The c63 standard feature list is close to the c350 sport sedan. Options include metallic paint 720), leather package 3,030), premium ii 1,400), multimedia 2,650), ipod 375), carbon fiber trim 2,550) and the performance p30 package 4,050), with locking differential, composite brakes, leather/alcantara steering wheel, and 186-mph limiter. safety equipment includes dual adaptive frontal airbags, front side thorax airbags, front side pelvic airbags (except on c63), side curtain airbags, active front head restraints, presafe system, electronic stability control and full traction and brake electronic assists. There are no optional safety systems. walkaroundthe c-class dimensions reflect its market segment; very similar to bmw's 3-series. This is more evident on sport c models with the star in the grille than it is on the luxury models with more chrome and the traditional hood ornament. Wheels play a big part too, the sport cars using twin-spoke wheels with some attitude while the luxury versions use finer, more elegant wheels. closing the door brings a different sound than the old bank-vault benzes did, perhaps because the outer skin of the doors, hood, front fenders and trunk is aluminum. Most of the trim, all the way down to the mercedes-benz badges in the front floor mats, is low-glare so errant reflections don't distract or dazzle the driver, and assembly quality is first-rate. front seats are electrically adjusted with heaters available and with the tilt/telescoping steering wheel (powered, with driver memory as standard on c350 and c63) provide good support and driving position; those of larger sizes may find the sport seat.
