Mercedes R350 CDI L (2011) CAR review

3.5

Ben Barry, 11 November 2011 09:26

What factors contribute to the size of your typical family? Costs, contraception, the size of the family home, the fear of having an uneven-numbered odd-one-out, divorce? One of my overbearing concerns has always been the limiting effect a larger family would have on my choice of car, both in terms of enjoyment and in purely practical concerns. Selfish, I know. ...

Mercedes C220 CDI facelift (2011) CAR review

Stephen Worthy, 03 August 2011 10:00

Amid all the repositioning of the Mercedes roster – the C-class Coupe is essentially the new CLK, but there's a E-class Coupe that uses C-class parts too – the C-class saloon remains a no-nonsense, reliable choice in the compact exec segment. But worried about looking too much like a taxi? Want to spice things up with a bit of bodykit (and ...

Mercedes C180K BlueEfficiency (2008) CAR review

Ben Whitworth, 08 December 2008 19:00

Mercedes has been a little slow off the mark with its environmental campaign, but hopes it range of new BlueEfficiency cars – spearheaded by the C180K BlueEfficiency on test here – will do for emissions, economy and public perceptions what EfficientDynamics has done for BMW. And there’s no price penalty for opting for the BlueEfficiency model – in fact at ...

Mercedes C250 CDI Prime Edtion (2008) CAR review

2.5

CJ Hubbard, 15 October 2008 09:14

We've just driven Mercedes-Benz's important new eco-specialist C-class: the – take a deep breath – C250 CDI Blue Efficiency Prime Edition. Putting the Transformers jokes to one side for a second, listen up because under the bonnet lies the beating heart of a concept car. The C250 CDI's Blue Efficiency turbodiesel engine cropped up earlier this month as the motive ...

Mercedes-Benz C320 CDI long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 07 October 2008 09:30

Long-term test report - 7 October 2008. So my Mercedes C-class has gone – and I will miss it like few other long-term cars. The C320 CDI really got under my skin. Its presence, its power and its ability to elevate any journey to a special event sucker-punched me a week after its arrival and my captivation grew with every passing ...

Mercedes C63 AMG Performance Package (2008) CAR review

Ben Barry, 24 September 2008 09:00

The Mercedes C63 AMG Performance Package costs £3210 and promises to turn the four-door saloon from Affalterbach into an M3 beater. For your money you get uprated brakes and suspension, a limited slip differential and a steering wheel trimmed in nappa leather and Alcantara. Shouldn’t that kit be standard on the Mercedes C63 AMG? It’s a good point. The ...

Mercedes SLK350 (2008) CAR review

Nick Trott, 06 February 2008 09:14

After 185,000 sales of the second-generation SLK (and 310,000 of the first), Mercedes-Benz has given its little sportster a raft of enhancements, improvements and other things ending in ‘ments’ . It has even fatter styling, even more performance and more gadgets than you can throw a Bluetooth enabled headset at. There are over 650 revised or new components, a new-look ...

Mercedes C180 SE (2008) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 07 January 2008 09:00

Four cylinders? A manual gearbox? Not traditionally attractive territory for a Mercedes, especially if you’re talking petrol rather than diesel. But Mercedes hopes you’ll go for this car rather than BMW’s 318i ES, and pay a couple of grand more for the extra 12bhp and 14lb ft afforded by the Merc’s supercharged engine. Taxi spec doesn’t do it for me... ...

Mercedes C220 CDI estate (2007) review

4.5

Ged Maxwell, 19 September 2007 05:30

Ooh, a compact exec estate. What combination of sport/tourer/Avant/wagon is it called? None: the Mercedes C-Class estate is, well, just that. Plain old estate. And the largest premium-class estate at that. How very sensible. Mercedes may have been unusually bold in its approach to the latest C – hacking off the stick-up grille badge for Sport editions, making the chassis ...

Mercedes C63 AMG (2007) CAR review

3.5

Georg Kacher, 27 August 2007 09:57

So this is Merc’s answer to the new BMW M3... Got it. Hot C's have long been part of Mercedes' line-up, but none has had us quite as excited as this, the C63 which as the name suggests, gets the big 6.3-litre V8 from the car right at the top of Merc's range, the CL63. It’s worth pointing out that ...
