the whole mercedes C class has been a disaster..... Mercedes has been working hard to shake that mistake, you'll start to see the A class coming out soon and they are hoping it will erase the c class errors.........

When people hear "Mercedes", they most likely will pair that with the word "expensive". The c230 is a very good car. Don't let people say it's expensive to maintain. I've done research on parts, and have seen that they are affordable. One person told me brake discs for a c230 would be double what he payed for his discs. Turns out I could do a whole brake job for just about what he paid for just his discs. If you get the car, just keep it regularly maintained, "A" service one year, "B" the next. You can get an "A" service done for less than $200 at a reputable place. And, imagine this: even if a certain part for the c230 costs more than a similar part for a different car, imagine how many more times the other car is going to have to be fixed, and how loooooong your's will go without needing to be replaced. Also the kompressor up to model year 2005 has a 4 cyl engine, so it will be very good on gas. Benzos are great cars...they will last a long time.

RE:
I heard Mercedes-Benz C-Class C230 Kompressor Sport is garbage. Any experience with it?

I owned this car for a little over a year. I liked it alot but I do find that is not up to par with the quality that you come to expect from Mercedes Benz. I had a lot of rattles from the driver door, the cargo cover and the glove box. Also I had some issues with my brakes wearing too fast. Also the Kompressor model is extremely noisy from engine compartment. The most major problem was when my engine fan broke off and punctured my coolant resevoir causing the car to overheat.

The person you heard this bad tip from must be unreliable. The many luxury features and price you get from a Mercedes-Benz C230 Kompressor, you can barely get a barebone nothing BMW. Shop around for yourself.

There is a saying which might help you,"one man's "trash/garbage" could be another man's" treasure". Mercedes-Benz has numerous makes and models to meet anyones wants, the price usually is the difference of "reliability" and comfort. Affordability and maintaining any vehicle,is a question ,which needs to be addressed when selecting your "new car". Good luck!

any new car can have some problems, as for a German cars, not all of them are the best on the market. I lived in Germany about two years and the surprising discovery was a " MONTAGS AUTO" translate as Monday car. No matter what make, cars build by Mondays always had some problems. When you ask any German, all of them know that. The explanation is simple, people don't pay enough attention at work after tough weekend, and Germans love the beer

Yes. Parts range to reasonable to double a non-luxury car. Labor costs are at least double, however. This applies to regular maint. as well as repairs. The engine will run forever. The problems are electronics, AC, tranny, etc. This is a very unreliable car, and was built at the lowpoint of MB reliability. Of course, if you can get one with MB's Starmark warranty, that eliminates most costs.

My Brother in law has a 2006 C55 AMG edition of the C-Class. That is the car to get, otherwise, buy a honda civic and just deck it out. Most people get the C230 only for the Mercedes Name, these cars are horrible, junky and have absolutly no power and are gutless.
