Parkers says:Stylish design, practical.
The 2000 C-Class tried to knock the BMW 3-Series off its perch as the most desired car in this class, and comes close. Original four-cylinder petrol engines are too thirsty, though, and the interior quality was perhaps not quite up to the standard of other Mercedes-Benzes. Supercharged 1.8-litre engines replaced the two smallest petrol engines in 2002 bringing huge improvements in fuel consumption, while a major update in summer 2004 made the C-Class a more rewarding car to drive.
From 2000 to 2002 the C-Class range started at the lower end with two 2.0-litre petrol engines. The C180 had a 129bhp version of the engine (later upgraded to 143bhp), while the C200 had a 163bhp version. These were both thirsty and were replaced from summer 2002 by a choice of more efficient supercharged 1.8-litre engines offering 143bhp and 163bhp and much better fuel consumption in the C180 Kompressor and C200 Kompressor.
The C-Class is an accomplished car on the road with accurate and fairly direct steering. Being rear-wheel drive, steering input isn't corrupted by front wheels putting the power down as they might be in an Audi A4 Avant or Volvo V50. While the standard car is relatively sharp and quite comfortable, lowered sports suspension is an option on the C-Class. Choosing it results in more grip but a rather firmer ride. Electronic stability control is fitted as standard. This safety feature detects when the car is skidding - perhaps as a result of a sudden direction change or driving on a slippery surface - and uses the ABS system to brake individual wheels until the car is back on course, and can help avoid accidents.
Automatic climate control and four electric windows were standard on the C-Class from its launch in 2000. These items were not standard on the contemporary rival 3-Series or Audi A4. Front seats have partial electric adjustment as standard and all C-Class models are fitted with cruise control.
All have four electric windows, a CD player, air conditioning, electronic stability control and cruise control as standard. However, you'd either need to 'upgrade' from Classic or pay extra if you want anything else. Classic models come with steel wheels, but choosing the SE pack adds alloys and other kit.
Although it's a highly competent product, the brand is the big selling point.There is always demand for estates.
