      Exterior The mini-S looks great and screams for attention as compared to rivals.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior styling and comfort is great with high quality materials. The wood however is glossy and scratches and fingerprints show up easily. Leg space at the back is best among rivals.

      Unfortunately, the significant premium over the BMW / Audi is not justified due to lack of features vs rivals. Seats are made of Artico (synthetic) leather, while there is a reversing camera there are no parking sensors even in the front, no seat memory (even the cheaper A/B/GLA/CLA have this), GPS (Garmin) is a complete waste of money as it has no live traffic info (while Garmin provides this info for free on their GPS modules sold online at a 3rd of the price), no ambient lighting, no intelligent headlights, no Burmester sound system, no AC controls in the rear, no boot closing switch on the boot, front passenger airbag indicators are disabled because they have used the left hand drive centre consoles for the right hand drive cars in India!

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The petrol engine is smooth and also has decent power delivery and torque. Fuel economy in Delhi city driving is 7.5 kms/litre. Gearbox could have been better... It is inferior to that of the BMW as it has a slow response when you floor the accelerator even in sports + mode; also the gear box is not dual clutch. If you are looking for a smooth driving experience where the gearshifts go unnoticed, this is your car. However if you are looking for an exhilarating driving experience, the BMW wins hands down.

      Ride Quality & Handling The suspension is a bit on the stiffer side. Go over a typical (not too bad) bump or even the plastic speed breakers on the road and the suspension makes an uncomfortable 'thud' - not as smooth as the suspension on the current Audi A4. However, on relatively even roads the car is a pleasure to drive. Handling at high speeds is good and the steering also feels fairly responsive and sturdy. Ground clearance has been raised so no hassles on that front.

      Final Words Fantastic product, especiallly for those looking for modern and attractive styling and high interior comfort. However be prepared to pay the significant premium and still not get all the features which shoud be given on cars at this price.

      If driving performance is what you are looking for, also consider the BMW 3 Series, it's also better value for money. Still better value for money is the Audi A4, which has the best features in its class (Technology edition) at a cheaper price.

      Areas of improvement The cars that Mercedes Benz provided to professional reviewers in India at the time of launch were fully loaded on features. Their CBU versions sold earlier were stripped off many of these features; and now their CKD versions are stripped down even further despite paying a massive premium vs BMW or Audi - do compare the professional reviews with the cars sold currently. MB also does not offer any of these features as paid options. I wrote to the Mercedes Benz India MDs office, only to get futile responses and clearly reflecting how they take Indian customers for granted!

      Fantastic styling and comfortSlow gearshifts, stiff suspension, poor value for money

       Exterior

       The c class looks very good with its long bonnet and aerodynamic body.The LEDs  enhance the look at front while the black panoramic sunroof does it for the rest of the car.The rear looks exactly like the s class and all colours suit the car,expecially metalic paints.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

        this cars interiors ar simply exquisite.Every switch feels as if it will last forever,the top quality nappa leather seats,the fine alluminnium work all make it feel like a car worth a crore.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

       the 184 bhp 220 nm engine has great pulling power.It is ideal for highway driving and quite good for city driving.It also has really good fuel economy ,considering the fact that it is such a big car and is petrol.If you want better mileage then go for the c220 cdi.the Cclass comes with a 7-speed DCT gearbox which is very smooth and refined.

      Ride Quality & Handling

       There is a myth that german cars cant survive indian driving conditions.Let me assure all buyers that this is a lie. the c class can go over really big speed breakers with ease and has ride quality like alladins magic carpet.You dont feel any bumps of the road and the handling is also superbly balanced.

      Final Words

       Elegant,efficient,comfortable,powerful.Need I say more?

      Exterior

       Well styled, lines flow very well

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

       compact but comfortable. Leg room at the rear limited, but the seats are well designed

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

       Slight lag, Picks up better after mid revs. Not the best acceleration.

      Ride Quality & Handling

       Handles well, quite smooth. Not as much grip as an Audi for example

      Final Words The car was delivered scratched up to me on the inside and outside. Have not received a proper response from the dealer Autohangar in Mumbai. Have been forced to file a lawsuit and get a refund. They have spent over 20 days going back and forth pleading that I keep the car in the present state. They went so far as to say that scratches are common in new cars and asked me to come to teh showroom to see more scratches!

       

      Areas of improvement  

       Need better quality control and sales channel. Will never go for this brand in such a scenario. Terrible buying experience. The brand has no value it seems for the dealers.

       

      Looks goodNightmare dealing with the company

      Exterior Looks attractive, stylish.  In simple words merc C class is a featureless high priced car. No parking sensors,beep sound on front or rear. Reverse camera though provided is not so useful in case lamp post or poll. No adaptive,cornering headlights.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) No ambient lighting, no memory seats, no illuminated door sills, still interior is beautiful, comfort is great. sun/moon roof is pleasure.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine lags in power when pressed especially in comfort mode. sport and s+ mode are performers. at very high speed you feel complte control of the car even on turns and bends. Steering is very good at very high speed [175kmph and above].

      Ride Quality & Handling Good on level roads. can hear thud on small bumps /pothole.

      Final Words Overpriced. even 10 lakh rs. car comes with more features. diver is clueless about front while parking. check yourself while test drive, Audi A4 is too good option.

      Areas of improvement Parkin sensors.

      looks, styleno front parking sensors, no beep sound warning front or rear, no adaptive, cornering headlights.

      Exterior Excellent, best in the segment. Long bonnet give excellent look.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is Excellent, best in the segment and unmatchable with the other cars in the segment. Only the shaft tunnel makes some discomfort if there are 3 passengers at rear. Front seats are very good. Good leg room.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is good, fuel i am getting nearly 20 at highways and and 15 at city. Max. i got 26kmpl. There is a small lag in the gear shiting at eco and comfort modes.

      Ride Quality & Handling Handling is excellent. I had experianced good handling even at 205 kmph.

      Final Words Very good one but a bit expensive.

      Areas of improvement Gear shifing need to be improved. If we go for the riding comfort at twisty roads 3 seies may be preffered than c class.

      Looks, power, comfortLag in gear shifts at eco and comfort mode

      Exterior All round excellenace. It is a stunner all the way. Heads turn on the road and one feels proud to be the owner of this car.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Extremely pleasing interiors. The seating is low, but that is expected in a saloon. The dashboard is pleasing. The touch pad is an added attraction.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very respponsive and a pleasure to drive.

      Ride Quality & Handling Good.

      Final Words Extremely pleased with the car. A winner all the way.

      Areas of improvement 1. The back seats could have been wider for better thigh support. 2. Leather seats would make it more luxurious. 3. The display screen should have tocuh option to quickly input the address. 4. The space for keeping the tissue box is occupied with USB connections. 5. More color options should be given. 6. The tail lights should have been similar to CLA to make it more pleasing to the eyes.

      Superb exterior and interiors. Smooth accelerationTissue box space is occupied with usb connections,
