C240 2003
I have a 2002 C240 sedan. Runs well for its age. Power is adequate unless you want to race on take-off. The A/C could do with less attitude and actually get the car interior 'cold' as other cars....Benz need to be ashamed of this area in a C240. Suspension is great if you get the right stuff installed the right way under there. The radio sucks (only unto 90MHz) and 6 CD changer won't play MP3 but the sound system is amazing. Leg room at the back seats is ok. Height of the roof at the front is a little squeezed and access could be tricky if you are about 6 foot. All in all, the engine is built like a small tank, chassis is rock solid. And it is a Mercedes as someone said earlier.
