Take on Mercedes-Benz C-Class

• Good Things
  • Beautiful design – Looks younger, more athletic and distinctly different than before
  • Driving dynamics – Taut ride but settled and absorbent, quick and progressive steering
  • Peppy engines – Enough grunt on tap to keep one involved, unrestricted fun on the go
  • Comfortable, spacious – Roomier at the rear than before, distinct S-Class flavour
  • Feature-packed – Name the function, and the new C-Class will almost certainly have it

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Verdict

The C-class is for the driving enthusiast who is concerned about running costs and wants way more bang for his/her buck. Even as a car, the new C is a step up over the car it replaces, be it space, design, the feel-good factor, or luxury. As for it being a baby S; yes, it is, but only in parts.
