I love the interior of my car, it has very nice leather and fixtures that have not worn out at all in its 20 years of ownership. This makes the car very comfortable, except for the backseat which is a little cramped since it is small. Additionally, the paint color is very rich and has remained so. The car is very well-built, my mechanic has even said it is one of the sturdiest cars Mercedes ever made. This is especially nice since it is very tiny, so it's good to know it won't be crushed in an accident. Also, it has almost reached 100,000 miles with very minimal service needed outside of usual tire replacement and brake tuning. For me, I drive a lot and live in a sunny place so I most love the sunroof which allows me to enjoy the weather outside while I sit in traffic. The trunk is also significantly large for the size of the car, which as a college student has made moving home and back very easy despite its small size.

When I purchased the Mercedes Benz C230, I was attracted to the color and body style of the car. I had an appreciation for the sleek, clean and simple design. I also like the details of the vehicle, such as the brakes and calipers and the look of the rims. The interior was a very clean black on black, which was gorgeous at night. The windows had tints which gave the vehicle a mysterious yet classy look. The only con for me was the space on the interior. I would have liked to have had more space in the back seat for passengers who rode in the vehicle. As far as a driving vehicle, the C230 had a vey smooth ride and great pick up speed. It was quick around corners while maintaining a stable handle as far as the drive train. The maintenance was expensive but well worth it as these vehicles can last up to 200,000 miles plus if properly maintained. The quality of all parts was superb, and the car was a great vehicle to have. I previously had a BMW 325i, and I must say that while both cars were great, the C230 may have had a slight edge in aesthetics. Overall great vehicle that I would recommend to anyone.
