2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

Pros: Safety, handling, performance, gas mileage, stylish

Cons: Compact, slightly stiffer suspension

The Bottom Line: Love it!

Review: I was on the market for a new car in July and August of this year. My old Camaro was not cutting it any longer and would not serve as a family vehicle. Plus, I was getting tired of the lack of trunk and passenger space. I test drove several vehicles ...

Pros: 369 lb/feet torque and 37mpg! Fast & fun to drive, built like a bank vault

Cons: minimal standard equipment in short supply (not easy to get a good price on)

The Bottom Line: Drive the E350 and E500 first, then Drive the CDI and if you can tell the difference between the 500 and the CDI, I'll buy you beer!

Review: Background: I finally got out of my lease on my 2002 VW Passat, a nice enough car, but a bit too boring and utilitarian for me. I am paid a lot better now and so I want a nicer car. I find myself torn between half a dozen models ranging from the new ...

Pros: Fantastic Looks, Gas Mileage, Front Legroom, Very Solid Feeling with outstanding handling. excellent Value

Cons: A little down on power and a little sluggish to downshift sometimes

The Bottom Line: Buying this car used is a fantastic value, It seems like a much more expensive car than it really is.

Review: I traded in my 03 Z06 Corvette for this car, I loved the vette but needed more room as I have 3 children. I went to the dealer (Chevy) looking for a used H3 or Caddy CTS to trade the Vette in on. I saw this 05 Brilliant silver C230 Kompressor Sedan ...

Pros: Looks like a more expensive car than it is; roomy enough for two kids.

Cons: Automatic windshield wipers don't work, seats stain easily, front bumper hangs down too low.

The Bottom Line: Good solid car.

Review: After getting into an accident with my Audi A4, I was thrust into the market for a new car. I was looking for a sedan that was: 1) safe, 2) had decent gas mileage, 3) roomy enough for two car seats, 4) stylish, and 5) not too expensive. The C-Class ...

Pros: Style, Enough power, Better build quality, the "Mercedes-Feel"

Cons: Bit of a gas guzzler, price within the reach of the boy racer crowd

The Bottom Line: If you're looking to stand out of the crowd of Japanese tin boxes this is a great car.

Review: I was really skeptical about the C-class given that Mercedes quality ratings form JD Powers have fallen below Hyundai. But it seems that Mercedes actually tried in 2005 with a new interior and the AMG body kit for the C-class. Everything just seem ...

Pros: Good build quality and Mercedes service and support.

Cons: Lacking key features which should be standard.

Review: I have the 2005 C240 4matic sedan. Its great car built a lot better than my 1999 Ml320. its smooth and silent pm the highway. Though I do regret not getting the more powerful 320 V6. The car is lacking some stuff features like power seats and an auto ...
