2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by FraKctured

Quietness

I can listen to acoustic music--solo piano, jazz, etc and I can HEAR everything. Preternaturally quiet.

Ride smoothness

The ride is very smooth, comfortable, luxurious for a mid-size sedan.

Safety & braking

All of the safety features--ABS, ESP, 4Matic--incredible stuff. Saved me from an accident on ice-covered roads once already.

Materials & workmanship

Solid car, you feel the tightness at every juncture.

Audio & nav systems

HK system had problems at first--dealer replaced speaker and amplifier which fixed the FM and CD/MP3 crackle, but the AM radio still has issues.

Feature availability

Nav should be standard.

Dealer practices

Too expensive.
