Mercedes-Benz C 250 CDI
Hydraulic power steering is full of feel.
It scrapes even over medium-sized speedbreakers.

The C 250 CDI isn’t perfect though. Our biggest issues are with the engine note – the twin-turbo unit under the hood is a lot noisier (not a nice noise either) than the lower-powered, single-turbo C 220 CDI engine. The rear seats are cramped and so it isn’t the best car for being chauffeur-driven in. And, with the AMG body kit and skirts that our car has, you have to be really careful over speed breakers. Most have to be driven over diagonally if you dodn’t want to hear painful scraping noises from the underbody.
None of this, however, takes away from the fact that this C-class is a gem and is one of the cars that truly signifies what Mercedes stands for. So, as we bid farewell to the C 250 CDI, we can’t help but feel we’re bidding farewell to an era as well.
