Arrow Mercedes C Class

Perhaps more than any other area of the new C-Class, the handling has been improved drastically over its predecessor. New lightweight front and rear suspension designs help greatly and the C now digs in and grips tenaciously through tight turns. It also now has finer steering response and heightened Mercedes' reputation for making cars that cosset is unharmed by the new C-Class, which has a yielding ride quality on rougher roads that most rivals can only imagine, yet it easily contains body lean. The Sport models' firmer suspension set-up does not harm the Merc's ability to cover ground uninter

All but the least powerful diesel models feel decently strong when compared with their rivals. The top line V6 petrol and diesel models are proficiently swift, though not as spine-pressingly quick as their opposite numbers at BMW. Slick automatic gearboxes are well worth considering over the manual

Mercedes dealers are among the priciest for any marquee, making the C-Class one of the more expensive cars in its class to service, although service intervals are well spread out. The flipside is the C-Class should have strong residual values to offset servicing expenditure. It may have the looks of a scaled-down S-Class, but the new C is not as lavishly furnished as its big brother. You do get a CD player, chilled air and alloy wheels on all models, but you'll still have to fork out extra to attain a decent level of equipment.
