What would you expect in a Mercedes Benz?
Such luxurious features as dual climate control, steering wheel-mounted controls for and wood trim come standard, but this C320 comes with a Bose stereo system, full power memory front seats and power tilt/telescoping steering wheel.
The audio system was designed by Bose and begins with a 9-inch, low-excursion subwoofer along the back deck. This is complemented by a pair of 6.5-inch coaxial (6.5-inch mid-bass with a 2-inch built-in tweeter) full range drivers in the rear doors. The front doors contain another pair of 6.5-inch speakers down below, rolled off to function in the mid-bass range, with a pair of nicely mated and positioned 1.5-inch tweeters in the side mirror patches. There is also a "stealth" 2-inch midrange-tweeter center fill speaker housed in the dash top, in an enclosure that also doubles as an air vent. The system has a few unusual and welcome features, such as an LED readout in the main instrument cluster that informs the driver of radio station call numbers, CD track number, etc. This is an excellent design idea, since it allows the driver to look front and center for this information, not all over the car, and keeps the driver's eyes elevated and on the road. The steering wheel buttons allow drivers to control volume, CD track numbers, seek functions and radio presets.
The new rack-and-pinion steering system is a big improvement, offering better feel and response. With this and the improved five-link rear suspension, it should be as pleasurable to go canyon carving in the C-Class as it is to show up at your high school reunion.
Another enthusiast bonus is the new 3.2-liter V6 engine with 215 HP. It is very smooth and quiet — as expected — but it also puts out about 10 percent more torque and horsepower than the C280's 2.8-liter V6. Those who prefer automatic gear changes will like the transmission on the C320, a five-speeder with TouchShift.
Mercedes went all out to ensure the safety of C-Class buyers. Turn signals in the side mirrors allow others to better spot you. Standard Electronic Stability Program (ESP) that helps bring the car back in line if the system determines that the driver is losing control and four-wheel ABS (with bigger discs than previous versions to help stopping performance).
Safety is further enhanced by dual front, four door-mounted side airbags as well as two side curtains ready to deploy, your cabin will be a veritable padded cushion.
For the enthusiast who wants a solid and prestigious luxury car with an unparalleled list of options, the C320 is the best value you can get.
