2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Reviews - Page 2 of 5

Brake lamp switch broke.

Crank position sensor went out.

I drive winding roads everyday, in between work and home, and it's a joy to drive. It makes me want to step on the gas every time I drive it. Surely it's not the best car out there built in 2000, but it still handles pretty well, considering it has the Sport & Special Edition Packages.

The car is fast for a car designed 2 decades ago, although there is that short lag in up shifting when trying to accelerate quickly, due to the way the 5-G Tronic transmission was designed.

For a classic looking car, it still gets looks for its simple design.

I may have been lucky with mine, reading other's comments, but so far in the last 2 years of owning this used vehicle, I have spent only $112 in total repairs. Nothing life threatening to me or of inconvenience to driving. One of the last w202s built (June 00), and it still feels like it would new.

SRS light is on. It seems that there is a fault with the airbags.

This car has a sporty look.

Has 4 cilyders, but with the Kompressor feels like an 6 cilyder engine with turbo.

The engine sounds is great.

Everything works fine, very fast car, cornering are great, you didn't notice how fast you are driving. You can easily go at 150 kph without notice.

Very soft shocks.

Mass flow sensor, but in warranty

Brake assist light.

Other than that, nothing much so far.

Lovely leather interior like an executive jet. Nice instrument controls. Great stereo system. Very comfortable for long distance journeys.

Nice handling.

Overall I like it very much.

I have had no problems to date with this car. The engine runs like a top. The car is garaged. Regardless of how cold it is, it turns over without hesitation.

The only issue is related to the dealership. The car was flawless in performance until the dealership serviced my car. It makes a noise when I turn the wheels after I had the alignment checked.

I blame the service, NOT the car. The car is a work horse.

My car has been extremely reliable and dependable. I purchased it hoping that it would last for a very very long time.

The auto unlock device does not work unless you hold the key next to the door. It is very hard to get the door unlocked. You have to press for a long time before the key unlocks. (It is NOT the battery; I have replaced it for good measure).

Visibility isn't the greatest as you sit low and are surrounded by a sea of large SUVs in the US.
