2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Review

　　

zzdcar' Expert Review

by the zzdcar Experts

　　

What’s new

　　Changes are light this year. Mercedes' "4Matic" all-wheel-drive system is now available for sedan and wagon models (the C32 sport sedan being the lone exception) and the C230 Sport Coupe's supercharged engine has been revised for greater efficiency and lower emissions. A six-speed manual gearbox is available for the C320 models, and a supercharged C230 Sport Sedan is now available as well.

　　

zzdcar says

　　Though hardly inexpensive, the C-Class is appealing due to its variety of configurations and prestigious name.
