Reader Review of the Week: 2009 Mercedes-Benz C350

Reader Review “Dawud” from Georgia recently bought a 2009 C-Class from Mercedes-Benz. While he finds the car to be impressive, there is a reason he’s not taking it on any long-distance trips. Find out why in his full review, and then post your own car review here.

“The Mercedes-Benz C350 is fun to drive. The 3.5-liter V-6 model with its 268-horsepower engine is zippy without overkill.

“The C350’s transmission gives added punch, even at highway speeds, when you need that extra passing power. The 258 lbs.-ft. of torque delivers more than adequate performance, which I appreciate most where the rubber meets the road.

“The C350 handling is excellent. It's a thrill to take a corner and a bump and still know you're in total control. The sport suspension provides a firm, confident feel.

“The interior is comfortable for daily commutes or that weekend drive in the country. But you probably don't want to plan any long-distance trips. While the wrap-around controls are easy to reach, the seating can be a bit uncomfortable.
