2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 350 Sport review from North America
"Great entry level luxury car especially if buying a well maintained low mileage used model."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car has a low vibration that comes from the rear end that starts at about 68 MPH. It is not enough to shake the car badly, but it is felt in the seat of your pants. Noise does not change even when you manually change gears, but does with your speed. My car is the seven speed automatic.
General comments?
Car is pretty quick and has surprised quite a few all out sports car owners.
Handling is very confidence inspiring. Firm, but not overly harsh.
People think you paid a lot more for the car than you did which is not such a good thing sometimes.
Routine maintenance is a bit on the expensive side, but you have greater service intervals than the average car.
