Mercedes C-Class (Old)

With the latest BMW 3-Series recording yet another top 25 result, this is disappointing for a firm that once prided itself on its engineering.

The C-Class does not do too badly in any category, but high running costs and poor practicality take the edge off. Main plus points are the ride and drive.

MANUFACTURER VERDICT

Comfortably into the top 10, Mercedes has closed the gap on BMW. Third place for ease of driving and fourth for ride help, but the firm can improve on its 26th place out of 35 for running costs.
