2010 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
This car has a very small back seat. If you want to carry passengers for a long distance, get an E class. 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 |

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 |

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 |

Front seats are softly padded in a way that is uncommon in modern vehicles. Driver's seat adjustments are above average, as there is an adjustable thigh support. Passenger seats lack lumbar adjustment and thigh support extensions, but have full 8-way power including seat-bottom tilt and height adjustment.
---
Some drivers complain the lumbar support is intrusive, while others complain it's too subtle. Remember to sit in a seat and get a feel for yourself, as it is very subjective.
---
The driver's seat has the option of a facial recognition system that is fairly reliable if used correctly and a useful feature that is not common in other cars. Memory buttons remain on the door for those that prefer them.
---
The details that count: According to the owner's manual, the facial recognition system's software is open-source and data remains in the vehicle.
