Mercedes C-Class Saloon
The Mercedes C-Class is a smart and comfortable saloon car, but these days it suffers from some slightly dated-feeling elements. It’s like an old pair of shoes: think of the Mercedes C-Class as a comfortable and traditional brogue, while the BMW 3 Series is a more modern but less cosseting loafer.
There are plenty of styles, including a more practical Estate and the insane C63. If we’re still using the shoe simile, the V8 AMG model is like a pair of rocket-powered roller skates.
The C-Class Saloon is a stylish choice no matter what you go for, though. It’s more sophisticated than the slightly aggressive-looking BMW 3 Series, and more interesting to look at than the Audi A4.
The Mercedes is similar on the inside, as it combines traditional and modern touches. Its uncluttered design incorporated sweeping lines and the materials convey an upmarket feel. For example, the metal switches and a tactile wood center console are two of the highlights.
However the infotainment system is feeling dated now. The BMW 3 Series’ and Audi A4’s systems are more modern and easier to operate. The central screen looks a bit tacked-on, sticking out of the otherwise cohesive dash.
The C-Class is big enough for use as a family car, and there’s lots of room and adjustment options in the front seats. However, it’s not as roomy as the alternatives and rear-seat passengers, especially adults, might feel a bit too cramped.
However the C-Class is brilliant for long trips nevertheless, as it has smooth suspension that soaks up bumps in the road with ease. It’s a bit more relaxed and calm on all types of road than the Audi A4, although the latest BMW 3 Series is just as comfy.
