Overview

The C280 features a 228-hp 3.0-liter V6. The top-of-the-line C350 employs a 3.5-liter V6 good for 268 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque.

Inside

The Mercedes-Benz C280 is available as a five-seat sedan and a four-seat coupe or convertible. In all models, the front seats are comfortable with ample standard power adjustments to help you find a suitable driving or riding position. There's also good lateral support, and you can upgrade to various sport or performance front seats that are more contoured and supportive. There are also cool touches, such as retro-looking air vents, an analog clock on the center stack, and flip switches for some climate controls.

Driving

: have the automatic transmission as standard equipment, are available with either rear-drive or 4Matic all-wheel drive the C280 is powered by one of the few engines whose designation has been rounded-down for marketing purposes. Its 3.0-liter V6 is superbly soft, completely progressive and supernaturally quiet. In fact, it's guaranteed not to interfere with a sporting driver’s growing boredom. To wit: depress the C280’s predictably leaden go-pedal and the car moves a bit; nice and gentle, easy does it, away we go. If you could be bothered, you could hammer it and sprint from zero to sixty in a yawn over seven-and-a-half seconds.
