Mercedes-Benz C-Class [2011-2014] User Reviews

WOW!! IT IS THE ONLY WORD WHICH COMES IN MY MIND WHEN I TOOK THE RIDE OF THIS ENGINEERING MASTERPIECE.

I DONT KNOW HOW THEY MAKE IT BUT SURE THE MERC GUYS HAVE AN AWESOME KNOWLEDGE IN MAKING THESE CARS.

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CAR IS AWESOME,THE ENGINE,INTERIORS,COMFORT,HANDLING, & OF COURSE THE BRAND.

NOTE- THIS IS NOT MY CAR WHICH I DROVE BUT OF MY FRIEND'S.

I GOT AN GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A BLAST ON THIS PHENOMENAL CAR .MY FRIEND TOLD ME THAT U CAN DRIVE IT ON EXPRESS,HEARING THAT I FELT I HAVE DONE LOTS OF GOOD THINGS IN MY PREVIOUS LIFE THAT I HAVE GOT THIS OPPORTUNITY OF THE LIFE TIME.

SO WE WERE ALL SET TO GO & THIS CAR SIMPLY FEELS GROUNDED TO SOIL WHILE DRIVING.THE POTHOLES SEEMS TO DISAPPEAR WHEN ON THE DRIVE.I HAD CHANCE TO FLEX MY FOOT ON THE LONG STRAIGHTS OF EXPRESS.MAN O MAN THIS CAR SIMPLY EATS THE ROAD & FUEL TOO!!!!.

BUT WHO CARES I WAS DRIVING ONE OF THE KOMPRESSORS OF MERC & THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE ROAD WHICH HAD ANY CHANCE OF OVERTAKING ME. I WAS TOTALLY OVERWHELMED WITH THE KIND OF RESPONSE THE ENGINE WAS OFFERING ME WEN ON DRIVE.THE CARS WERE LIKE APPEARING WITHIN FRACTION OF SECONDS AFTER OVERTAKING ONE. WE TOUCHED THE TOP SPEED OF 246 KPH WITH EASE & COULD HAVE DONE MORE BUT IT WAS TOO RISKY FOR BOTH OF US.

THE INTERIOR COMFORT IS SO GOOD THAT YOU DONT FEEL ANY LACK OF LUXURY AROUND YOU.

FRANKLY THIS CAR IS SIMPLY SUPERB AS FAR AS FUEL ECONOMY WAS CONCERNED WE GOT FIGURES OF 8 KPH / L & 10 KPH ON HIGHWAY & CITY .CONFUSED BUT IT IS TRUE BECAUSE WE WERE DRIVING AT A QUITE HIGH SPEED.

ALL IN ALL GREAT CAR TO OWN IF YOU HAVE BIG POCKETS TO MAINTAIN HER.

EVERYTHINGNOTHING

 

Exterior VERY STYLISH AND SPORTY the looks are good the lights and grill are very very attractive, it will pull you to buy it but its like saying its one car with real deceptive looks and you will think twice and feel what have I bought for this price so if you want the brand you will own it but value for money is just not there.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) NO SPACE INSIDE REAR LEG ROOM IS PATHETIC pick up is awful.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox VERY POOR ENGINE NON RESPONSIVE NO PICK UP AT ALL.

 

Ride Quality & Handling I would call it just ok but at this price you will expect much more from the car.

 

Final Words THE C CLASS IS A MERC WITH NO CLASS OF A MERC IN COMPARISON TO S OR E ITS A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY, DONT WASTE 30 LACS ON LOOKS THE PERFORMANCE IS A NIGHTMARE.

 

Areas of improvement Engine and space,i think mercedes should stop making petrol engine as they are good with deisel ones.

 

THE LOOKS OF THE C CLASS ARE EXCELLENT AND THE SPORTS BADGE LOOKS REALLY TRENDY AND SPORT AND VERY SNO SPACE INSIDE IF YOU ARE TALLER THAN 5'4 INTERIEORS IS FULL OF FEATURES BUT MOST OF THEM ARE NOT U

Exterior Good looking car , ideal size for Indian cities. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good layout of dials. The car does everything for you. good space for 4 people. 5th person can be a squeeze. Comfortable all round. Has everything you will expect in a preium car.

Steering controls, USB port ,cd usual bells and whistles. 

The best feature is the eco mode which shuts off the engine when idle and automatically starts when brake pedal is released. Saves fuel . loaded with siomilar features.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Goes like a rocket , although feels better to cruise at high speeds. Handling round the corners is good. Glides on turns. Fuel economy on highway is 18+ and city is 13-14 . The new 7 G tronic gearbox is a smooth changer.

Ride Quality & Handling Good for the car. although the ground clearance is an issue. have to be careful on speed breakers with 4 people in the car . 

Final Words Value for Money in the starter premium segment. Drivers car. If you dont drive then get the E class.

Areas of improvement Ground clearance .reverse camera would have been desired.

Handling , speed , fuel economy , controls , royal feelingGround clearance , light interiors not suited for dusty india

Exterior Car is good from outside, Specially from front. From back it is not easy to find it in crowd.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space is less, otherwise features are good, You wont find many features in Audi A4, or BMW 3 series.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Though it has only 1800 CC engine, it rocks.. Even at 150KMPH if you press the accelerator, car zooms like anything.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality & handling is superb. You will feel in control even at 200 KM PH.

Final Words In 30 lakh this is the best buy as on today. Audi A4 & BMW 3 series are no match to it.

Areas of improvement They can add Air quality system, which cuts the outside Air if it is polluted. Even my 5 yr old elantra has this. They should add USB support into music system. Give larger LCD in Dash like it is in other countries with this model, Give LED tail lights, Give more leg space, they can cut down on trunk space. Some instrument to get alert of traffic cops... because not easy to stick to speed limit with it :)

===
In new version :), they have fixed most concers
1. USB port is given
2. LCD in Dash is better
3. LED Lights
4. 7 speed automatic gears instead of 5 in mine.

Also, I have got mileage upto 15 km per litre on highway on average mostly it is 10 kmpl. I am using C 200 CGI petrol.

Service cost is too much. Costed around 30K for first service. It seems break pads dont last long and need to be replaced at each service.

Exterior Clearly the best lookinng car in its segment! The headlamp cluster looks clean and amazing with the single projector and the LED strip. The cornering lights are really helpful! The new C class looks much sportier than the old one, especially with the avantgarde trim.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The interiors looks more like the E class now, with better use of the wood/aluminium. The speedometer now has a high resolution LCD screen which is better than the one on the E class! The front seats are really comfortable with memory function for both the driver and the passenger. But the rear seats are slightly cramped for 3 adults but good for 2. The harman kardon speakers are MIND BLOWING ! The LCD screen is now integrated in the dashboard, which is better.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The C250 CDI blue effeciency has an amazing 2.2 litre turbocharged engine which produces 204hp and 500Nm of torque. It easily touches speeds of 200kph! Ive done 220kph quite easily. Just press the accelerator, and it gets launched like a rocket!

Ride Quality & Handling Great ride quality! The handling has now been improved because of the agility control suspension. The only concern is that the ride hight is a little low.

Final Words Clearly the best in its class! Easily overpowers the BMW 320d.

Areas of improvement NA.

Looks, performance, features, brandRear legroom

 

Mercedes Benz is an awesome german class, but I regret to buy C-Class, I think if u wanna go for mercedes, then go for E class, thats a better version. BMW 3 series is quite a impressor if compaired and hell it has very low re sale and high maintaince, which actually company don't even care about. Don't buy this one just to impress ur wife, she would smile and ur pocket 'd cry. damn it.

 

Exterior Nice grill but not impressed with the back of the car.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Okay, made for INDIA.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very good on handling on high speeds, awesome brakes and techonology used in the car makes u feel good abt it, If u buy a Mercedes, don't talk abt milege.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Good.

 

Final Words Still before putting ur 38 lacs into this go and drive BMW 3 series or go for a E class, much better.

 

Areas of improvement Lots of 'em.

 

STYLE & CLASSDon't waste ur 38 lacs

It is a very good car and I like it but i find few very basic features missing

1) There is no switch inside for opening the Boot Lid. It has to be done with the Remote key which is not very sensitive always. In these times of strict security everywhere, it is very inconvenient (and especially if the car is self driven). You have to switch off the car, take the keys off and then open the lid using the remote (which sometimes is not very sensitive and you can have cars backing up behind you and honking for delaying them). This is a basic feature which the most basic car has, i have not been able to figure out why this one does not.

2) The car does not have an automatic seat adjustment system. It has to be done manually.

3) Colour choices are very less

Overall it is a nice car and i wish it had these features to enhance my experience further.

Relatively Good Fuel economy for a car of this sizeSome basic features missing

Exterior I think best in this segment. It looks like a SUPER LUXURY CAR FROM OUTSIDE. It actually acts as a head turner on the road.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Looks small but actually when u sit,it feels like s class. I understood that why it was called the mini s class! The seats are very comfortable !and the handrest is also very comfortable. The dashboard has light inside, the best thing is that it has a big paranomic sun roof. Great! I love it!and hem us it in the car it so so comfortable. No words to describe it.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellnt performance, it pick up is quite impressive! It gives u good mileage. It reaches 170 easily a great car!honestly, it's the best car I have ever owned.

Ride Quality & Handling Amazing !its fun to drive! It can even take a risky turn at the speed of 100!it feels like I'm driving a sports car!

Final Words I think it's a flawless car. whenever I see it,I feel very proud that I own it, it's a great car with good fuel economy. its probably the best car ive ever bought.

Areas of improvement I think the horn is a bit hard, but that tok not much!a perfect car!

Excellent interiors ,beautiful outer shapeAs far as I think ,no

 

Exterior I prefer the looks of the earlier W203.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very uncomfortable rear seat and poor leg room. At this price the leather should look and feel more expensive. Seats tend to crake after two to three years.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Lovely engine, smooth and nippy but high on fuel consumption. The DSG AT is almost instant but I would prefer to have a stick short shift with 6 speeds. 

 

Ride Quality & Handling Drivers car but has to be driven carefully especially when road surfaces are not up to the mark as the car will start to rattle very soon. Front suspension is not tough but feelsvery tight feeling when new.

 

Final Words Good for just two passengers and driver.

 

Areas of improvement Space, larger boot, poor milage.The Skoda Superb is a good car. Has plenty of plus points and a lot of space. The new CRDI is wonderful. A re-map and she is as powerful as the 200 CGI or the 220 CDI. Its worth thinking about if you are not particular about having a star on the bonnet or the front radiator grill.

 

Drivers carUncomfortable.
