2005 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by delloway
A member in Ontario, Canada
Exterior styling
Traditional MB looks with the quad headlights. Small and sporty design
Powertrain performance
Outstanding supercharged 1.8L engine provides good acceleration, and outstanding highway mileage.
Handling
With the Evolution package, the handling is sure footed, and predictable. It feels very planted on the road. Tire wear with the Michelin pilot tires is reasonable for the nature of the car.
Feature availability
THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF is an absolute must.
Price or payments
Initial purchase cost was substantial for the size of the vehicle. It has retained its value well however.
Materials & workmanship
Some front end work is now due at 6 yrs and 113,000 km - suspension bushings/tie rod ends. This is a common complaint in this generation of Benz. No other problems or replacements for the car. Repair cost/parts are expensive - you get what you pay for.
