2010 Mercedes Benz C-Class Review Summary The 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, ranked 8.2 by ACG in the Upscale Midsize Cars class is perfect for the consumer who wants an affordable, functional, stylish, and somewhat fuel efficient Mercedes-Benz, but is willing to accept a vehicle that can’t quite match its competitors when it comes to most pertinent automotive categories. The 2010 C-Class comes available as a 300 or 350 sedan, with a “luxury” and “sport” version offered in both models. The 300 models come standard with a 3.0-liter V6 engine that produces 228 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque. These numbers are sufficient for the casual driver, but can’t compete with performance stars in this class, such as the BMW 3-Series. The C350s come with a larger, 3.5-liter V6 that creates 268 horsepower, allowing the Benz to come closer to closing its comparable power deficiency gap. Reviewers report that the C-Class provides strong acceleration on local roads and highways in both the 300 and 350 incarnations. Naturally, though, those who want the best possible performance available for the C-Class should opt for the 350 sedan. Two areas in which the 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class can compete with the best in this category are exterior and interior style. For 2010, the C-Class has been given a little bit of a face-lift in an effort to give it a more bold and aggressive look. The C-Class has a more traditional vertical grille to go along with the standard Mercedes-Benz three-pointed star hood ornament. Overall, reviewers are pleased with the changes and find the exterior style of the C-Class to emulate the more expensive Mercedes-Benz S-Class. As one might expect from the interior of a Mercedes-Benz, the C-Class provides a high-quality, luxurious cabin. In particular, reviewers praise the C-Class for it’s well laid out controls and exquisitely crafted cabin, even if they would like to see a little bit more flair in the interior. The seating of C-Class has its pluses and minuses. On the positive side, the C-Class offers plenty of interior space and supportive, comfortable seats. On the down side, Mercedes-Benz bills the C-Class as a five seater, and reviewers unanimously agree that rear-seat passengers will not find much comfort. Additionally, the front seats on the C-Class sport don’t provide appropriate support, and some reviewers find the seats in all trims to be too hard. When it comes to interior features, the C-Class receives more mixed reviews. Reviewers love the Benz COMMAND system, which intuitively controls comfort and entertainment fuctions without the needless complexity of the systems in other cars in this class. That said, they aren’t feeling the navigation system, which is as difficult to use as the COMMAND system is simple to use. Lastly, the C-Class provides an average 12.4 cubic feet of storage space and a spacious trunk, which reviewers have noticeably little to say about.
2010 Mercedes Benz C-Class Review Handling The 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class doesn’t have quite the same handling ability that competitors at the top of this class have. That said, it shouldn’t be considered a poor handling car by any stretch of the imagination. The C-Class is never harsh on the road, and it handles road trips with no problem at all. Reviewers find the steering to be precise, even if it is a bit numb, and the brake control is very strong. Additionally, the C-Class’ firm suspension contributes to an overall pleasant and enjoyable riding experience.
2010 Mercedes Benz C-Class Review Safety The 2010 C-Class has received four out of five stars in frontal-impact crash tests conducted by the federal government. This is an area in which several competitors in the Upscale Midsize Cars class outperform the Benz. The C-Class does, however, earn five out of five stars for side-impacts. The Benz comes equipped with dual-stage front side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags, and whiplash-preventing active front head restraints as well. Also standard is stability control, traction control, antilock brakes with brake assist, and a brake drying system that keeps rotors dry in rainy conditions.
2010 Mercedes Benz C-Class Noteworthy Mercedes says the 2010 C-Class goes from zero to 60 miles per hour in about 8 seconds with the 3.0-liter V6, and approximately a second and a half less with the larger V6 that comes standard on the 350. These numbers are more than sufficient for most drivers.
The Mitsubishi Lancer DE is the base model. Standard features are sparse. There is no air conditioning, although the heater does have micron filtration. Shift knob and tilt steering wheel are wrapped in urethane.
The 2008 Porsche 911 GT2 comes only one way, loaded, and ready for battle. Although the GT2 model has been deliberately and carefully lightened for better performance, it has all the standard equipment available on other 911 models, including all the usual power assists, windows, locks,...
