C Stands For Class
Test-driving the Mercedes-Benz C250 I could not help thinking to myself that this is how all cars should be made. The understated yet comprehensive array of instruments and controls are assembled with such class and sophistication, I could not have mistaken the Mercedes-Benz signature design. The plush luxury of the leather seats combined with the technologically advanced TFT colour display information systems of the new C-Class and the array of high quality surfaces and uber chic trim elements made me feel special. I immediately wanted to own this car. Externally the changes to the new C-Class were very subtle. How do you improve on perfection? The dominating front grill and headlights express a level of confidence and capability that is backed up by the breath taking performance of any one of the engine derivatives that this awesome car is offered with. Speaking of the breath taking performance, the C250 I tested seemed to be testing me as I hurled it into my favourite S bend. Balance, poise and powerful control seemed to be coming more from the C250 than from me. It was as if the Mercedes-Benz knew where I wanted to go and took me there with a calm confidence that was exhilarating. The AGILITY CONTROL suspension system with selective damping impressed me no end. The efficiency-optimised 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission seemed to be telepathic, pre-empting my next move and slipping into the exact gear I wished for as I exited the curling S bend. This was so satisfying and rewarding as the C250 changed from the demure sedan to the forceful sports car. At the launch of the new C-Class I was able to test-drive almost all the model derivatives of this fantastic machine and regardless of which model you choose, you will be rewarding yourself with magnificence. There is an assortment of features and functions, which boggle the brain and add so much value to the C250.
