    Looking for some insight on the C class (250, 300 & 350) during the yrs 2009 to 2013.

    I owned a 1990 190E yrs ago, and it was a great car until it got up over 150,000 miles.

    Any help would be appreciated (pros/cons).

    People on this board rave about the CLA.

    UIltimate noveau rich car.

    Either afford something better, or be more responsible. These cars are for people who try too hard.

    What is your budget? To be honest, you would be blowing money away. The old body style C class is a piece of ****. The new CLA is a piece of ****. If you are going to spend money, at least get a 2015 or up C300 or higher.

    The 2015 C300 has a turbo 4 cylinder

    The 2015 C400 has a twin turbo v6. Which has a ton of power. I used to have one before trading it in.

    I agree. I was never a fan of the C until the 2015 models which have a lot of the features of an E class now and look very chic.

    The new CLA isn't even bad. Look at the reviews they are positive.

    I hope this is a sarcastic post. The CLA was a joke of a car.

    Yep, CLA gets 3 out of 5 stars.

    That's positive.

    I would get one in certain situations

    The CLA sucks. Was very impressed by the 2015 C300 though.

    I would never buy anything from a company that created the CLA.

    The CLA sucks.

    So does the older C classes. Just go get the new one. You can get them for cheap now that it's year end.

    The only c class worth buying is a 2013 c63 of the w204 model. If you can get a w205 model which is 2015+. I really like the c450. The new c350s are 4 cylinder turbos

    Just sent you an email. The c400 got replaced by the c450 and it's quite a change. The new c63 is a bomb too.

    I get a C class or a GLA when I go in for service. I think the short wheel bases ride sort of rough.
