I wasn't sure what to expect when I got rid of my 2014 (F30) BMW 335i xDrive in favor of this 10 year old Benz. I've always loved the way they looked and how comfy they were, so even though some may see it as a "downgrade", I have been nothing but happily surprised with this car. It's easily the most comfortable, quiet, soft, forgiving car I have ever had the pleasure of owning. It has never stranded me, and has only needed new tires and two oil changes since I got it a year and a half ago. I get compliments on it everywhere I go, and I love driving it. The engine pulls and sounds incredible. I would buy this 100 times over. I'm a Mercedes diehard now because of this car.

Really a smooth, quite ride with good acceleration. Great turning radius - much better than the S60 Volvo awd. Also responds better to the road the the Volvo or the Jag x type. Controls are confusing, setting the dials requires a look at the manual each time. Like the visability from the drivers seat - judging the front end is easier with the mercedes emblem out front. Very few blind spots. AWD responds real well in the snow - stabilizes quite well.

I got my MB C280 4Matic in 2009. I was turned in at the end of a lease, had less then 40k miles, and only paid $19k for it. I live in Colorado and need the all wheel drive. When comparing it to other AWD cars available, this was by far the best value. When test driving the cars the MB had almost no signs of wear, and the best overall fit and finish. The MB drove as well as the Audi and Subaru, the Toyota and Volvo were overpriced and lack luster. After 3 years I still love my MB. It is still very peppie, and handles (and rides) like a dream (like you think an MB should). Reliability wise,,,,,,, I have not had it in the shop once!!!

This car is like riding on a cloud. The ride is very smooth and luxurious. It is easy to drive and easy to maneuver. I average between 26-28 MPG on the highway. If you are looking for luxury, look no further than the Mercedes C280. I also recommend getting the 4-matic. It is great in the snow.
Great car if you have the funds to maintain it!

I drove my Mercedes C280 4 Matic for four years -- great for the snow in Colorado. During my four years I really enjoyed driving this vehicle. It was comfortable, quiet, cornered well, and accelerated well -- very enjoyable on long trips. Rear seating was a little cramped but still acceptable. Maintenance costs during this time frame were about average compared to other vehicles. YET around 160,000 miles I experienced a camshaft/timing belt issue which I later learned was typical for this particular V6 engine. The cost to repair this issue was more than the car was worth at the time --$3000! Would I buy another Mercedes? Yes, IF I had the funds to maintain and repair it. IF you plan on keeping your Mercedes any length of time I recommend having some type of warranty to cover maintenance AND as soon as your warranty expires trade your beautiful Mercedes for something else.
