The 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
Really, it's not even a ton of money needed to wrap yourself in a leather-clad class. It's the least expensive Mercedes available -- but by no means is it cheap; it's refined through and through.
Cruising along in the C300 4Matic all-wheel drive Benz is like talking with a well-dressed old friend. Every part of the car seems familiar and comfortable, but there's something kind of formal about the occasion.
One day, during my testing, I was going to run to the store and realized I was wearing shorts and a T-shirt. I felt underdressed to drive the car, as well as get out of it and walk through a Meijer parking lot.
There are just some cars that demand a little bit more out of their owners: A Mercedes does that, even the C300.
Nothing is over the top with this car. The way the optional 7-inch color navigation screen moves out of the dash when you start it up seems almost magical. It whirs quietly and efficiently. It's simplicity and artistic.
The leather seats (and leather-wrapped steering wheel) feel comfortable enough for long road trips or daily commuting.
There's a German sensibility to this car that caters to your slightly frugal side -- it starts at $34,000 -- as well as the air of luxury that comes with the Mercedes badge.

Nice blogs Ram. It's really amazing how you can manage all these blogs together! Good work.
ReplyDeleteBtw, isn't the top-most pic of this post that of the new CLS?
One interesting aspect to this latest C-Class is that Mercedes offers it in a diverse lineup to better cater to distinct types of buyers. The C300 Luxury is intended for the person mostly interested in a luxurious ride, a coddling interior and classic styling.
