What did we like about the Mercedes C230?
The C230 also inherited Mercedes’ unduly complex stereo controls. In fairness to Mercedes, we really liked the controls on the steering wheel for the stereo, and the eight-way adjustable seats (manual in the car we drove; 10-way power seats with memory are an extra $1,225). We liked the bobtailed looks of the C230.

Is the Mercedes C230 a go kart car?
They drive like go-karts and are almost as quiet and comfortable as my larger cars. The C230s are very nimble, well made and well balanced. It feels very solid, it rides very quietly with very little choppiness (as you’d expect from a much larger Mercedes), and has great agility.
Which is faster The E430 or the C230?
Oddly, the C230 is so nimble and fun it feels as fast as my big V8 E430 which I clock 0-60 in 6.2 seconds, from idle, real-world. The C230 is almost twice as slow on the clock, but feels as fast for fun driving around. The C230 is the car to have for running local errands and trips. It’s easy to park!
