2002 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C240 review from North America
"A stylish, classy, and fun sports sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing as of now.
General comments?
The car is fast and fun to drive.
The performance is more than adequate with the 2.6 liter V6; I don't know why anyone would spend the extra cash for the C320 when you can get the same basic car and features for less.
My only complaints with the car is that it is less practical than my Saab. The Saab's five-door design could swallow more luggage than the Benz and the rear-seat legroom is also poorer than the Saab.
