C-Class 2024

Fourteen months, more time at the dealer than my driveway. Turbo failed at 8,000 miles, infotainment blank at 11,000 miles, persistent vibration they cannot locate. First and last experience with this brand.

Hits a sweet spot for me. Refined on the motorway, economical for commuting, practical for family. Only gripe is infotainment slow to connect to phone on startup. Build quality noticeably better than my previous car.

Been driving my 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class for eight months now. The positives are numerous — fuel efficiency, comfort, and the way it handles city traffic are all impressive. My gripes are that rear legroom is slightly tight for taller adults and the automatic transmission occasionally hesitates in…

I'd have rated it five stars but the infotainment system has a frustrating habit of not connecting to my phone immediately on start-up. S…
