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

3.5

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 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 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 C220 CDI Sport (2007) CAR review

2.5

Peter Burgess, 19 June 2007 10:59

It looks like there’s a major change going on here Certainly is. Gone are the smooth curves of the previous C-class, replaced with something far more edgy and, dare we say it, rather modern. The C-class is bigger all-round and crucially there’s another 45mm in the wheelbase and more shoulder room. That’s hardly a surprise. Passenger space has always been ...

Mercedes C350 Sport (2007) CAR review

Richard Aucock, 12 March 2007 10:57

Seven years since the last, an all-new C-Class. What are the highlights? Mercedes has gone back to basics with the new C. Keen to banish memories of the E-class quality/breakdown/recall debacle, it has scrapped some of its old techniques and relied more on a computer-generated virtual C-class (its 2130GB of data might just crash your average PC) to iron out ...

Mercedes E500 facelift (2006) CAR review

2.5

Ben Whitworth, 21 December 2006 11:00

You’ve used the wrong picture, that’s the old E-class, sort yourselves out! Well, Mercedes calls it the ‘new’ E-class but it’s really a heavily revised version of the model launched four years ago. More than 2000 parts have been upgraded or replaced, the biggest being the new grille, which is bigger and more angular. The front bumper has been tweaked ...
