Seyth Miersma Seyth Miersma Score Pending 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe

All in, the C250 is a very nice looking, reasonably priced luxury coupe, which is well suited to laidback driving with a heavy helping of posh. It’ll allow its owners to have plenty of fun on the better stretches of road that inhabit their lives.

The C-Class Coupe trends toward classic luxury with a bit of bite, creating a niche of its own that we foresee being a strong selling point. We’re fans of the new coupe design, and even more so of the new engines.

Staff Review MotorWeek 7.2 out of 10 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe

While not a serious performance car, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe is like a fountain-of-youth, with a decidedly sportier personality than the C-Class Sedan, making it one cool and classy coupe indeed.

With its subtly attractive exterior, comfortable ride and efficient base 4-cylinder engine, the C-Class Coupe should find a comfortable niche among the more power-obsessed mainstays of the segment.

The C-Class offers driving enjoyment in addition to safety, stability and luxury. And it does this for about $14,000 less than an E-Class.

The C-Class is the most affordable way to own a Mercedes-Benz. The sporty character, quality interior and strong engine lineup should appeal to most buyers, but the small rear seat will turn off families.

As far as I’m concerned, the C has been fixed — thanks to its vastly improved interior, new coupe body style and 1.8 liter turbocharged engine. With all the improvements, it’s finally worth the money.

The 4Matic version of the C350 remains the rewarding, involving sport coupe we’ve come to know and love.

While the C Coupe’s typical premium/sport/cush Mercedes cabin treatment might not be your personal cup o’ tea, the execution here is supreme, nay, divine. And it drives more finely than any other V6-equipped model offered by Stuttgart.

The 2012 Mercedes C-Class Coupe features strong, smooth engines, terrific handling and superb fit and finish. Further, its sharp, sporty styling should go a long way toward attracting the younger target groups that Mercedes is seeking.

Kevin Miller Kevin Miller Score Pending 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe

The C350 has a difficult time deciding whether it is a luxury coupe or a sport coupe. It is well engineered, but lacking in passion. While it has plenty of luxurious features, it also has hard seats and a hard ride, and really doesn’t cosset the occupants the way I think a $51k car should.

Relaxing is the key to driving the S550. It may have as much technology as a space shuttle, but it’s there for you and doesn’t care if you notice it or not, as long as you are comfortable.
