Mercedes-Benz C-Class - 2008 Review

After driving a 2008 Mercedes Benz C300 for the last 4 weeks, I have decided that I would NEVER buy one.

I've been driving this car (its a rental) for the last 4 weeks while my car has been in the shop.  At first glance it's a great looking car, but all this car has is its looks!

The steering is awful.  If you drift at all (slightly into the next lane)  and slightly grab the wheel to get back into your lane, BE CAREFUL...it'll take you into the lane on the other side of you.  The steering is loose!!!

If you want a car with "guts" this is not the car for you.  When you give it gas there is a huge delayed reaction.  It has no pick up at all....none!

I drive an Audi A4 regularly.  I will buy 1,000,000 more Audi's before I would even consider a Mercedes.  I drove a C230 a few years ago that wasn't too bad, but would never own one.  Audi has so much more pickup, and extremely tight steering.  I think one of Mercedes' problems is that they make just too many different models.  Stick with one and improve on it Mercedes, you're slipping...
