Mercedes-Benz C-Class Saloon (2014 - 2021) C220 BlueTEC Sport 4d Auto Owner Review

Very smooth to drive, comfortable car with lots of leg room in the front and the rear. The diesel engine can be a bit noisy at times and the auto gear box isn't always the best at remembering to change gear when cruising (likes to think it's you that needs to change gear and not do it itself). Agility (Performance) Modes: Eco Mode - Exactly what you would expect. loose handling, low revs, slow throttle response but better MPG figures. Comfort Mode - The one I tend to use the most. Very comfortable suspension, throttle response is ok if a bit slow. Handling is relatively loose but not as bad as the eco mode. MPG figures are relatively good. Sport Mode - Quicker throttle response but overall pretty pointless as you have sport+ mode for when you want better performance. Should just crap the sport mode and just offer sport +. Or, scrap the current sport mode and make the sport + mode the sport mode. Sport + Mode - The best mode for maximum performance with higher revs and a relatively sharp throttle response. Not really sure why they need a sport and sport + mode. No idea who will actually choose sport mode over sport +. What you're saying with sport mode is I want to go a little bit faster but not too fast. I want a quicker throttle response but not too quick.....very strange. Interior: Very luxurious and a premium feel to it. It is quite similar to the S class. Seats are very comfortable. Steering wheel adjustments are very limited (just up and down). Isofix points in this car make it very easy to fit the isofix base. No trying to clip the base to points in the grove of the seats back and seat base. Very simple and easy to use. Looks (exterior): I think the whole design looks beautiful. If you had to pick a section that lacks the good looks, look no further than the rear of the car. I feel this rear design lets the cars looks down. Boot Space: Very happy with the boot space for my saloon. I can fit mt son's push-chair (Bugaboo Buffalo) and carry cot in the boot with no worries. You won't fit much else in but the Buffalo is quite a large pram. Boot space with the seats up is coming in at around 480 litres. Overall I am very happy with my Mercedes and I would recommend it to a friend if they were looking to buy a beautiful looking, relatively practical saloon car.
