The overall safeness and dependability of this car is exceptional. It has four-wheel drive, ABS braking system, excellent reliability and control in the snow, and multiple add-on features that have made this car one of the best that I have ever owned. I have put over 35,000 miles on this car since its purchase and not one single part has needed fixed or replaced. I have only had to complete routine, yearly maintenance on this car. In addition, the interior of this car has held up for over two years. The leather has remained intact, with no cracks or scratches, despite heavy use. The sound system in this car is superior! All of the speakers are top quality and have remained in excellent shape through years of use. Even though this is a luxury car, the fuel economy is rather good for the year of the car. It gets approximately 22 miles per gallon in the city and 30 miles per gallon on the highway. The excellent fuel economy in this luxury car makes it inexpensive for me to drive about an hour to the mountains for snowboarding trips with my partner. All in all, I absolutely love this car and would recommend it to any new/used car buyer due to the main fact that I have not had any issues with any system in this car (electrical, exhaust, etc.).

I love this car because it is affordable luxury. I drove all competitors before I decided on this car, and I chose the Mercedes because it felt complex yet simple. The car does a ton of things in the dashboard computer, but it wasn't overly complex like the Audi. It drove better to me than the BMW, smoother, tighter. I also liked the look of the car, because it was both classic and modern.

The C43 is a limited production AMG model manufactured and hand assembled in Germany. The C43 has an AMG tuned 4.3 Liter V8 engine, racing transmission and performance suspension. The Package includes BOSE sound system with trunk CD changer. The car has front heated driver and passenger seats. The AMG comes with full leather black interior. The Car has a roomy 3 person rear seating with head rests on the left and right seats. Performance is not an issue for this model of Mercedes which does 0 to 60 miles per hour in just under 6 seconds with 302 horsepower and 300 foot pounds of torque. Dealer scheduled maintenance comes in alternating schedule A and schedule B cycles, with the schedule A maintenance being the basic oil change and fluids top off and the schedule B maintenance being more thorough with lubing the chassis and checking the suspension and drive chain for repair and replacement needs. The car itself is a blast to drive in the winding canyon roads performing near one G on the skid pad. The car is all about safety with front and rear passenger side air bags and a driver's steering wheel air bag. The central heating and air conditioning system offers an easy to set digital control panel with automatic shutoff at the user entered control panel. The cons would be lack of mp3 player support and the 55K price makes the cost a little steep for entry level enthusiasts.
