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-class is the sport pack. It offers in my opinion exceptional value for money and a whole host of extra's.
For company Car drivers the C220 CDi has the benefit of being EU4 compliant and so will collect the bare minimum in co. car tax due its low emissions. You will also be laughing with the favourable 38 - 40 MPG that the car will average.
Avoid manual gearbox. The car will lose too much value at resale.

hi. Loves mercs, used to work at the local dealer.. C-class estates and sport coupes are my fav. As said below more info would have made a better review. Ideas for you would be to include details about how you can personaly spec your cars, the main packages classic, elegance and avantgarde and what they include, what the interior looks like, for instance does it looks flimsy?... you get my line of thought i'm sure. Drop us a line in my GB if you decide to rewrite. ~ Clare xx
