2005 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C200 Kompressor review from Hong Kong
"A very good car in all respects"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong.
General comments?
This is the improved 'New Generation' model with redesigned interior.
The build quality is excellent and the materials used throughout the car are first rate.
Performance is good although at low revs the engine feels a bit underpowered in stop and go traffic.
On the highway, the supercharger helps the engine pull strongly but it gets a bit loud at higher revs.
Handling, steering and brakes all feel very good which gives the driver a sense of confidence.
Interior room is good for this class of car and four people can ride in it very comfortably.
