Cars.com Reviews the 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
The Mercedes C-Class is the most affordable Benz in the lineup and the brand’s biggest seller in the U.S. The C-Class takes a different tack compared to its BMW 3 Series rival — the largest player in the compact luxury segment — by offering a supple ride compared to the BMW’s sportier nature. However, editor Kelsey Mays had issue with the subpar interior, especially in a car that costs well above $30,000. How does the C-Class fare against staff favorites such as the Infiniti G37 and Audi A4? Read his full review to find out.

I had a C-Class as a loaner while my E500 was in service and I have to say the interior is very cheap and plasticky...not what I expected. The screen for the radio uses out-dated graphics to make it look like an old fashioned "dial"; very out of place for this car. The seats looked cheap as did the steering wheel. I use to own a 2000 C230 Kompressor, and the interior was more upscale than this 2010. The front end is nice but the back? What happened? It looks like it melted, and is not a flattering shape that compliments the vehicle. Needless to say; I was happy to have my 4 year old E back; it's a total different story. The interiors of the newer Benz's quite don't match up with ones from a few years ago. I feel like a lot of corners have been cut and sub-par materials have overwhelmed the interiors.

Looks like Mercedes is building to a price point...again.

The Mercedes star looks out-of-character and out of place on the grille; traditionally, all Mercedes sedans had hood ornaments. They should drop the pretentious sporty façade and just sell the luxury model. It looks so much more classy, the way a Mercedes should look.

Then again, having a pie-tin-sized star up front probably sells more cars.

AP, I actually like the huge star in the grille, it's more noticeable and bigger! I also drove a C-class as a loaner and didn't like it too much, it was hard to see behind me when changing lanes. I have a CLK but I think the interior is much more upscale and nicer than C-class.

Mercedes C-Class features are good but which make me impress much is its price which is just good than other super cars.

I have always believed that Mercedes Benz is very very serious about safety, I used to own a BMW 1 series car in the past and I can tell you that, this car makes you feel extremely safe when driving it.Impressive fuel economy for such a size of vehicle!!

Mercedes cars are affordable c-class car in the US market and famous in USA with all luxurious facility
