I've had a few Mercedes. But I bought this one after selling an E class. I also have the 2019 version of this, but this is a review of the 2016. They are both from the same platform so the differences are really marginal. But the big difference is from the previous platform. As I mentioned, I sold an e-class before getting this one, and I would say that this c-class is the equivalent of the E-class of yore. In size and in luxury, this is no longer an entry-level Merc.

This car is a great all arounder. It's sporty but seats four. It has a variety of different driving modes, ranging from economy to sports plus. So it can be a sports car or a family one. It looks great, but the real standout is the interior, which is really quite high-end. The Burmeister audio option adds a lot to appearance too (the speakers are in a beautifully cast aluminum) along with its sound.
