It'll even report the oil level but only if the car's not running.

In the center of the that's-no-moon-it's-a-space-station-sized speedo is a medium-resolution amber LCD display which offers up quite a lot of useful info-and a lot of useless crap. A small tach and overlarge fuel gauge flank the MONSTROUS speedometer which, despite having a radius that's about half as big as one of Mars' moons, only has 5mph demarcations. The instrument cluster is terrible-awful-bad. But then again, perhaps not: there's actually a 30% vehicle safety discount on insurance for the car being a Mercedes-Benz, so that's not terribly surprising, and MB along with Chrysler is notorious for electronic nannies that are determined to get in the way. An odd mix with the ABS, which seems WAY overaggressive.though that may be partially the tires' fault. I was able to break the back end loose with a little tossery even with ESP enabled and encountered no drama. There's a "Wet/Standard" mode switch which toggles 1st- and 2nd-gear starts-necessary because manumatic mode sucks and starts off in first regardless of the gear you've "selected." Gearing seems excellent, with a fair amount of torque available at 75 without having to drop from 5th.

Shifts are slow and smooth, and dropping the hammer brings about shifts a couple months later, making spirited driving in the twisties unrewarding unless you use manual mode. Amazingly, astoundingly, frustratingly stupid.

There's no separate manual-mode gate, just tilt in "D", which means there's no way to get back to full auto without dropping into neutral and back. You slap the shifter left for downshifts and right for upshifts. The transmission still does whatever it wants. The manumatic design is worse than terrible.

The 5-speed automatic is smooth but in absolutely no hurry. The supercharger's whine is pleasant and not invasive. Torque off the line is reasonable but it comes into its own above 2000rpm where it's not fast but certainly not slow. The 2.3 is quite coarse and there's a lot of engine noise (not exhaust noise). It also has split-glass (really plastic down low) which is neat but not particularly helpful due to the heavy color distortion present in the curved lower plastic. The rear seats fold level with the rearward-angled cargo floor. I would fit in the back seat if I didn't have a head.īoot space is pretty impressive behind the seats even with the tonneau in place.

It has power windows and manual everything else. Also, 4Matic all-wheel-drive versions were upgraded.I've had the chance to do some driving in my sisters new-used C class and figured the next logical step was a review post.Ģ.3 liter supercharged 4-cylinder. The standard transmission was a 6-speed manual while a 5-speed automatic was offered as an option.

For the gasoline units, there was more power for the supercharged engines. The C30 CDI was cut out of the production line. Also, the steering wheel was redesigned, with round buttons instead of larger, squared ones.įor the engine compartment, the 2.1-liter diesel engine was offered with up to 150 hp. Between them, there was an LCD display for the on-board computer. Instead of a big, large, speedometer in the middle as in the pre-facelift version, the 2004 C-Class featured two round dials for the speedometer and the tachometer. Inside, the instrument cluster was completely redesigned.

The body shape remained the same, with only some subtle changes. That change added some power, but it also lost the only AMG diesel version.įrom the outside, new headlights, new rear-view mirrors, and taillights were added to the car. Four years later, the facelift appeared with important changes for especially for the diesel versions, which were upgraded from Euro 3 emission standard to the Euro 4. The C-Class was a success from its start and the second generation was launched in March 2000 at the Geneva Motor Show. The mid-life refresh for the second generation of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class brought more power for the engines, exterior, and interior changes.
