The seat causes no discomfort to my tailbone like many ohter cars. Furthermore, the padding is firm and feels like it will last a long time. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review |

Mercedes-Benz makes the best seats in the business, period. Even after a 10 hour drive, my back did not hurt. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan supercharged 181hp 1.8L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Not much leg room when compared to other luxury entries. No flat floor so a 3rd passenger in the rear is not possible. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review |

Center console and stack cut into front side leg room, my left leg is always up against the center console. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review |

| 2012 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 211hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual AWD |
I like the looks, but there is a downside. As a geezer, getting in and out of the car is not easy. You sit down low, and it has these little gangster windows. see full Audi TT review |
