Positive Review

"My first "luxury" vehicle and I love it."

The more I drive it - the more I love it. Bought it certified pre owned with 12,000 miles and within a year I am now at 34,000 so I drive. I don't even mind making the car payments! It's a classy, comfortable car. There are a few improvements that could be done. The cruise control is too close to the signal. I still hit it all the time when signaling. When the max cool air comes on it is too loud. The only option I don't have that I should have got is the one with the blind spot mirror. I get a lot of comments on how nice it looks.Decent gas mileage.

Critical Review

"A Myth"

Purchased this car brand new as a retirement "gift" to myself.It broke down twice with electrical problems within the first five thousand miles and had to be towed each time.Three of the four tires developed "bubbles" within the first three thousand miles...obviously defective.The control(s)for the interior electronics are overly complicated and just downright annoying.The navigation system is the worst I have ever seen. Small trunk. The AWD and suspension keep the car hugging the road in all weather conditions. The overall ride and handling is very good.Gas(premium)mileage very good...better than posted. Transmission shifts flawlessly. Engine and transmission virtually silent on the road. Keep in mind when purchasing any Mercedes that preventative maintenance and repair costs are astronomical.

Great handling

I know this car is getting old but it still handles like new ,and even better than other newer cars today . They did not cheap out on what matters . Safty and driveable. The 3.0 v6 could use a little more power but but on curves and corners you can't beat it . Love this car

2012 MB C250 C250 COUPE AT 42,000 MILES...........

CPO purchase summer of 2014. 23030 odometer at time of sale. Only one glitch in 10 years: the dreaded ESL! Dealer repaired at $1,000 cost (50% covered by warranty). Impressive fuel economy on Interstate round trip to Phoenix (35 MPG). Not super fast - like many Mercedes vehicles..............(0-60 takes just over 7 seconds. Fast enuff for my new wife - it's her car now. (All I do is fill the tank with Chevron Supreme every so often...............plus the infrequent Service A or B. (plus the bi-enniel CA smog test) A really nice looking coupe - both inside and out........(purchased at above 75 per cent of the new car cost. ez

Pros

Comfortable and reliable

Cons

If driven hard through fast moving traffic it may

Best running vehicle I have ever owned. Never a rust spot but has also never been driven in the snow. Completely satisfied and planning on upgrading to a newer one very soon.

Pros

Still looks new.

Cons

None

Rides very well. SHORT turning radius. Handles very well. Design looks current. Parks in very tight spots. Still feels like a bank vault. Bought this car in December 2010 and have appreciated it ever since.

Very dirty to maintain
Pros

Nice car

Cons

horrible and very expensive to maintain

Three different dealers each wanted to repair different problems. None could all agree. Each one wanted about $5,000 could not properly repair. Bail on this car when there is no warranty
