After 9 years and 19,000 miles.....................

I've had an ESL issue. That's it. The Electronic Steering Lock is a know flaw on these cars. 36 MPG on a 900 mile round trip to AZ. Car is Iridium Silver - has a clean but stylish - probably the best looking car I've ever owned. So fuel economy (highway), reliability (ESL excepted) and good looks are now available to my new wife. She loves the car - as it has s surfeit of bells and whistles:NAV, turbocharger, a interior to die for and an excellent radio/disc player.

Dependable Sport Sedan

I have had no mechanical problem with the car. I recently caught up to 70k PM service. Thats why I only buy MB since 2004, the price upfront more than pays for itself in long run. My last C230 had $175k miles with no problems.

Excellent car since new and 60 k miles

I have gotten excellent service from my 2012 C250 Mercedes. Bought new, always had annual service checks, it’s now 2021 , 60,000 miles later, one set of tires and that is it. This car replaced my 1993 300E Mercedes, which require more maintenance ..

2012 MB C250 w/Premium Sound & Sunroof

This car is a delight to use for everyday driving. It has adequate pep, good fuel economy, nice appearance and handles well. I enjoy the premium sound system and ergonomic interior design: all controls are where you expect to find them and easy to use. This car adds enjoyment to my daily commuting needs without too much expense.

Great car for the first 60k miles

I was very happy with my 2012 Mercedes C250 until 2020 when it began needing very expensive repairs. My steering column broke while I was having regular service at the dealer in Jan 2020. In December I needed repairs on several items totaling $4,000. These are expensive repairs for me, especially now that I’m on a fixed income.

Awesome car

It’s the best car I have ever owned. It’s beautiful, gets great gas mileage and requires little maintenance. My car has never broken down on me or left me stranded. I can depend on my car and that’s great piece of mind.

Sporty, Luxurious , Fun to drive car

2012 C250 is a fun , good looking , reliable vehicle. It drives and rides like a luxury car and also performs as a sporty sedan. Keeping this car well maintained and serviced is the key. If you’re in the San Antonio area go to SA European. They do all the service and the mechanical work your C Class or any European Car you’ll ever need.

Love it!!!

Love my 2012 C250 Turbo AMG Sport! Great car for the money. Performs just as great as more expensive Mercedes Benz models. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone that is getting into buying a Mercedes for the first time or has already owned any previous model Mercedes Benz.

Mercedes C250

This vehicle is very uncomfortable. Not enough room, no storage space in the cab, and not very good on gas. Maintenance and repairs are expensive. The car has turbo, therefore the take off is quick and she is fast!

My First Mercedes

I bought this car in July 2018 and I have spent a lot of time of money on repairs. First repair was free because it was less than 30 days, then $1300, next $316 plus 2 tires and now the want $500 to put a low beam bulb in. I am not happy with this car.

Amazing

The c250 is a really nice and affordable mercedez. It provides the comfort and luxury of the more luxurious mercedez cars. The c250 is very dependable with great style and performane. The only problem that I experienced is a little hesitation with the start up.

Its a Benz.

This is my 2nd Mercedes. My first one was a 1987 560SL (Which was my fathers)that I still own.The C350 is 4yrs old w/48k. Fit and finish are excellent. Ride is outstanding .The car lives up to its nameplate...I bought this car for my daughter who is 28. She plans on driving it at least another 10 yrs .I have no doubt the car will last for many years

Lemon?

I had to replace my timing belt at 60,000 miles because it twisted or something...it cost me $3300!!! The car is fun and sporty and definitely gets up and goes.... I do not like how "Plain Jane" the inside is...wish it was a bit more flashy Also the audio system is weak...
