The Mercedes C Class has a smooth body style, reasonable interior size, enlarged grille; solid electronic options (real time traffic information, navigation interface, etc) exceptional handling capabilities, superior steering functionality, as well as an enhanced sport suspension package. The Mercedes C Class also has a very good safety rating. The disadvantages are high pricing, lower horsepower for the 300C (V6, 228hp) and C350 (V6, 268hp.) The interior design is rather simplistic with regards to the wood trim and the rear seats tend to be slightly smaller than usual.
