Mercedes C 220 CDI

Our 2nd MB, we bought this one last year after an extensive search for the right one. C220cdi stationwagons are difficult to find and a bit pricey but worth the effort. Our 1999 Classic is in dark blue, which glows denim blue in the sun and is a very forgiving colour. We have an optional beige interior with beige hide upholstery and 5 speed auto gearbox, which is a perfect match for the torquey diesel engine. Overall, we are delighted with the car, which is the most comfortable we have ever owned ( this is my 22nd car!) and the great performance and economy (around 40mpg) are an unexpected ... more

When I purchased the Merc back in late summer I did a 200 mile round trip as the spec I was looking for at the right price could not be found in my town.I stumbled upon an Avantgarde 2001 y plate model with full stamped history at 80,000 miles on the clock and with the blue paintwork it was exactly what I was looking for at £4,800. It was cheaper than most of the first newer shape C-classes by about a grand so well worth the travel out up to Liverpool from a guy with a debt problem......hope hes got things sorted !! Anyway, I had owned two A-CLASS Mercs and new what too expect from the larger ... more

When i first saw the new C-class i really disliked it, the excentric curves and odd lights were hard to accept. However the more i saw it the more i liked it, and couldn't imagine liking the previous model's squared off corners and box-shaped chassis. The general exterior appearence of the c-class is one of the main reasons i have come to love this fine piece of German ingenuity. The C220 cdi not only has the looks but also performs on the road in terms of both speed and economy: The 0-62.5 mph time is about 10.3s and it tops off at about 135mph! Which is quite impressive considering its only ... more

As a driver of the C220 CDI Sport Auto (08) model I have to openly admit that this vehicle surpasses any of its rivals. As an employee of a fleet management company I have the benefit of being able to test drive most prestige vehicles and where the BMW 320 and Audi A4 finish the C220 CDI Sport is just beginning! Where to start... well from a purely astethic point of view the C-Class is a joy to behold. With a high specification sports body kit and 18" AMG alloy wheels the C220 CDI Sport is not only ideal for executive drivers but is also a stylish vehicle which appeals to almost any driver ... more

On recently becoming the proud owner of a new 54 plate Merc C220 CDi. I can firmly say that I have not been disappointed. The new model Mercedes has some subtle tweaks and improvements from the earlier model and delivers a very comfortable ride. The diesel engine is suprisingly quiet and refined and has plenty of power for both motorway and town driving. I drive a minimum 300 miles per week, and have found the level of comfort to be greater than that of the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4's. The level of specification is also higher with more extra's as standard. A must have for anyone buying the C ... more
