Mercedes-Benz C-Class Saloon (07 on) - Review

Review by David Ross on
Last Updated: 25 March 2009
Style is crucial among executive saloon buyers and it's no surprise that the C-Class is sleeker and sharper than before - with a hint of BMW 3-Series about it. Mercedes wants this generation of its saloon to appeal to younger buyers and this is evident in the neatly designed and unfussy interior. Good to drive, extremely comfortable and safer than ever, the Mercedes has a strong image and reputation behind it along with an excellent choice of petrol and diesel engines. The Audi A4 may be a better all-rounder but if you're after a premium saloon, the C-Class simply cannot be overlooked.
