2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

Started out great. Excellent gas mileage and performance. Great turning radius and control as well as acceleration. After 50K miles it started to run terribly. The dealership explained it's a known issue with the C250. Every 50K miles it has to have about $8K worth of engine work. So happens the factory warranty ran out at 50K. I will not get another Mercedes after this experience.

Engine very loud, some things are broken because I bought it used, I like it because it has a wood trim and good technology on the inside. Everything seems to be working great so far. I wish the cabin was larger, but it is a small price to pay for a beautiful car.

The vehicle performs well. It is very comfortable and has an excellent sound system. It takes premium gas which adds to the expense of owning the car. Oil changes are more expensive than normal due to the fact the engine take 7 quarts of oil rather than the 5 quarts most cars take. Gas mileage is average at best. Repairs are extremely expensive as the Mercedes is a German made car. A recent brake job cost $2000 ( I priced it at several different repair shop. I recently hit a pothole and bent an aluminum rim ( rim cannot be fixed). A new rim cost $550. Even though the car is expensive to drive and maintain, it is very comfortable. It provides a very smooth ride with a minimum of noise. The site lines are good, providing a good view of the road. The car has good acceleration, which is helpful when entering limited access highways. The controls are convenient to the driver and easy to operate. The hood latch, however, was somewhat difficult to locate the first time. I have owned the car for 2 years and have put approximately 50,000 miles on it and have only had to change the oil, replace worn tires, and have new brakes installed. In short, the car is extremely reliable. It also does not hurt to be seen driving a luxury car with the perceived status that attaches to it.

Very comfy, love the color, and the feeling when driving. I think it is the perfect size for families. Great capacity, and enough space for more people. The seats are kind of tough though, a little bit not comfortable. But overall it was great, benz’s quality is unquestionable, will consider getting Benz if need to change car in the future.

This car is not just for your “average joe” definitely a car for you if you can afford it! While it may be costly to repair and requires premium gas, you still get that sleek, smooth ride that Mercedes always has to offer. While no major mechanical issues have arisen, the total cost of upkeep of this vehicle is not one for someone who makes less a year than the car is worth.

Nice care. Very low seats not comfortable for long distance driving. Back seat and trunk space is very small. Love that the car let you know when to take a rest. Let you know how many miles over when maintenance is due. Love the color.

I have had more issues with this car then any other that I have owned. This is my first Mercedes Benz. I have replaced multiple times due to the low wall. Brakes. I had a leak at converter. Replace water pump and drive train. It is a heavy car. Goes fast. Very small. I call it car for one. Back seat is not made for anyone bigger than a child.

Very small interior which can be a challenge with children or even carpooling. Tight fit with more than 2 people in the backseat. The car itself does not ride very smooth. Maybe that is the intent since it is more of a sporty car, but it is very bumpy.
