Mercedes Benz c350 coupe.
The performance is great. It really gives you the feel of a sports car with the comfort of a luxury vehicle. So far the vehicle has been nothing but reliable. It is a little small probably not great for a family but for what I need it for it is great.

The seats have heaters so you make them warm. The car has a lot of room.I.
The performance is great. The car is ready fast and has a lot of room. Speakers are loud and the bass is really good. The interior is very nice and it is a very comfortable car. If you want a nice family size car this would be the one. I have a white model and the inside is nice and shiny it is a very good looking car.

Sporty red Mercedes Benz c class.
I have owned my pre owned car for 2 years and have not had any type of major issues. I get regular scheduled maintenance and it continues to perform very well. Super reliable, stylish and a great entry level luxury car. Amazing performance with a sports kit it has a great pickup in the highway and gets nice gas mileage.

Engine dismount on front impact for safety of driver.
Very reliable, great performance in all types of weather and terrain, especially in mountains and curvy roads. Very comfortable, feels very safe when driving because of safety features. Have not had any problems except when attempting to update navigation.

Mercedes Benz review by Benz owner.
Problems: weird smell coming from air filter after two years of owning vehicle . Performance: great . Reliability: great, except maintenance can be difficult and very expensive. For example, benz tires are very expensive and the dealership will not often cut you a deal . Comfort: amazing . Features: sun roof, heated seats.

Great reliable small comfy car.
Great reliable little car. I love that it is easy to drive and easy to park. I never have trouble finding parking. It's also very comfortable and the seat adjustment/memory is incredible. I strongly recommend this car. My only issue is the color and how hard it is to keep clean but that's my fault.

C250 good until warranty is gone.
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.

Mercedes c250- a good starter car.
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.

Mercedes- reliable luxury vehicle.
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.
accountCircle Grace W
Great experience having this car.
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.
accountCircle Justice B
This car will give you a sleek and smooth ride.
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.
accountCircle Bernadette S
Its fast. The car have satellite radio. The seats warm up. The inside lights up.
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.
accountCircle Kelly P
They weren't kidding when they say prepare for expensive repairs.
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.
accountCircle Jessica C
Mercedes c-class: sporty cute, not comfortable.
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.

Quality and comfort you can rely on.
We have had no problems with our vehicle. I travel a short distance to work and our vehicle offers excellent fuel economy and comfort. When traveling out of town our vehicle offers comfort and plenty of room for both passengers and luggage. Our vehicle is safe and reliable.

Mercedes features likes and dislikes.
I like my car. It really does have the get up and go to it when you need the speed. However I feel the seats are a little uncomfortable for long rides and unfortunately I make a lot of long road trips. As far as the features go I like that the interior looks kind of old school but yet updated with Bluetooth ect.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Kate P.

Handles really well. Beautiful car. Love the interior. Gets good gas mileage. I get compliments on it all the time. I have the sport package so I love the bucket style seats and red seat belts. It also is a very smooth ride.

likeFilled Julia K.

Smooth ride, handles well on the road, fast and attractive looking car. I enjoy the experience of having my friends in it and going for rides - fits comfortably 4 people maybe not big people but 4 mid sized people.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Kate P.

The biggest con of the vehicle would have to be the power. Being a v6 it does not quite have the zip and the quick start that I like. When accelerating quickly it has the slightest stutter. Also I am short so this is not a problem for me, but the interior of the car is rather cramped which can be a problem if you are taller.

dislikeFilled Julia K.

Expensive to fix, cannot drive on dirt or back roads comfortably. Cannot fit large people in it as it may be uncomfortable. I wish the GPS worked better and had more Widgets like heated steering wheel.

Is The 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class A Good Value?

It is a great value for a vehicle. Exact cost will depend on mileage on the vehicle and where you are purchasing from.
Angel V.
It is a little pricey. It was around 60 thousand. Was going for a c300 but ended up getting it because of 2 door and sport.
Laura M.
I believe market value for a 2014 Mercedes is about $16,000 (36,000 miles). The more miles the less the cost etc.
Wendy B.
It typically costs between $15,000 - $25,000, however, I was able to get mine used for $11,000. I think it is a good value considering it is such a high quality vehicle.
Shea W.
I bought it used for 20,000 which is a great deal for this car! Mercedes are high valued cars. I have heated seats, a sunroof, leather seats, Bluetooth. All the features I l wanted
