Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate (08 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 03 Mar 2008 Last Updated: 25 Mar 2009 4.5 The C-Class is a roomy, premium estate with high levels of comfort, safety and equipment. Competition is tough and its main alternatives are BMW’s versatile 3-Series Touring and Audi’s popular A4 Avant. Summary Driving & Performance Equipment Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Owners' Reviews Also Consider Facts & Figures Company Car Info Gallery Refined comfort, good choice of engines, versatile, great equipment levels, decent boot Fiddly audio-navigation system, cabin doesn't feel particularly premium New price range: £27,475 - £39,930 View all new prices Used price range: £8,031 - £30,580 View all used prices Summary Parkers Rating: 4.5 out of 5 The C-Class is a roomy, premium estate with high levels of comfort, safety and equipment. Competition is tough and its main alternatives are BMW’s versatile 3-Series Touring and Audi’s popular A4 Avant. However, the C-Class stands up well to both. It blends potent performance and good looks with interior refinement and a big boot. There’s a wide choice of engine, trim and transmission combinations available. It’s evident that Mercedes-Benz has thought the design through well and there are many practical solutions that make C-Class easy to live with, it's a shame then that the cabin lacks the upmarket feel you'd expect of a car with this price tag.
