Dee H

2000 Mercedes c230 coupe hatchback.

Very reliable and gets very good gas mileage. It is only one if few models that are rear wheel drive, manual shift with a hatchback and fold down seats. Panoramic moon roof was not reliable and got stuck open and could not get it to close manually. It was out of warranty so it was taken to a local shop that worked on Mercedes and disable it to stay permanently closed. Otherwise s very reliable vehicle.

David M

Even though it is 18 years old, it looks beautiful and runs extremely well.

Very dependable transportation. Very low maintenance. Very smooth ride. Beautiful exterior and interior.

Tray W

Worth the price. These models are very expensive but worth every dime.

I love my car mainly because of the space. It can fit 6 people. I get a lot of attention when I go places, and that makes me happy.

Louise T

Love the power and quick acceleration.

I got the car 2nd hand and it runs really well. The engine is very powerful and it accelerates really quickly. It's a very comfortable car. Cost of repairs is high but it's an older model and it works well. It does not do well in the snow however and I've Gotten stuck numerous times driving in the snow.

Jeanette L

It very compact and fast. Also economical with gas prices.

I love driving this car. I love the features. It's very dependable and reliable. It is great on gas and very economic. I also love the fact this car so compact. It drives fast and speedy. I love the radio system and speakers. It's great for driving a couple of kids and commuting back and forth to work.

A no-fail vehicle: I should do ads for this car.

Efficient, practical, never fails--what more could you ever ask for in a car? I have never had a single problem with this car whatsoever. If only people were as reliable as this car!

Damaris A

Sleek and beautiful car with a good sound system

The interior is gray and black and sleek. The steering is smooth. Sound system sounds very clear and loud enough for me. Only problem is the volume tuner is broken.

Katherine B

Comfortable seats, sunroofs, center controls

I like the comfortable spatial area my car has (even though it is small). I also really enjoy the sun roof, and would consider it one of the selling points. For a small car it has a good sized trunk and can fit 5 comfortably. My car is super reliable, and I even take it on dirt roads pretty frequently. The biggest problems I have had are with the engine and the motor for my windshield wipers breaking. Both problems were easily fixable and done by a family friend. Another selling point is the silver color with hives the car a sleek and classy look

Old car. I say not. Reliable. But expensive.

Very decent. Repairs and insurance could be cheaper but with this car it is worth it. Very handy as does not get bruised easy.

I have mercedes c-class, 2000 model. It is fully automated and sound Engine. The fault it has , it consume lot of fuel and it cost me a lot when traveling a long distance. It is very spacious inside and very relaxing.

Alexis A

Auto body parts are to expensive.

Import cars some times are expensive auto parts and electrical problems, what I like most is they comfort to drive and fast smooth.

Danielle H

Mercedes Benz are quality cars.

I love that as old as my car is, it was amenities that current models still have. My car also drives as smooth as current models. I don't like the body of my car, I 'd rather a smaller car.

Evan H

My vehicle is an older Mercedes and is quite comfortable to drive, but expensive to repair.

My vehicle is really comfortable and easy to drive, unfortunately since it's so old it is starting to get some problems. The interior lining is falling down and it is expensive to repair and get basic maintenance because of the brand.
