#11 of 125 C240 experience by portlander Feb 28, 2001 (9:49 am)
Ordered in Sept, took delivery in Dec. I get around 19mpg. The engine is getting smoother as the miles are adding up, 700 so far. Problems encountered so far: 1) engine failure the second time I started the car after delivery due to loose air intake manifold. 2) loss of all electrical functions while the engine was still running, I mean no wiper, no turn signals, no radio, nothing moves in the instrument cluster. All this happened while I was driving on the freeway in a rainy day. 3) sunroof retracted too much and broke the sunshade. To count my blessings: 1) no brake squeak. 2) remote works fine. 3) trunk opens everytime. 4) seat doesn't seem to rock anymore. Despite all these, my wife and I like the car even though we drive her minivan more often.

Finally, we have our Owner's Club... As far as my first MB purchasing/riding experience of C230K goes, the title shows my feeling about the car.   By the way, where are the pictures of C230K? Replies to this message: wesplank (Aug 22, 2007 3:00 pm)
#13 of 125 C-ruzin' in California by lperakis Feb 28, 2001 (2:09 pm)
Greeting! Ordered my car in late December and I bought my C320 in January after someone canceled an order. It is Silver/ash with all options except Sport package. I am most impressed with 1. looks/style. 2. Performance. I LOVE shifting with the auto trans. The car is fun to drive and the pick-up is great. Boy, I'd love to get a AMG C32 due out later this year with 349 hp! 3. Voice control. Not just a gadget but a serious safety consideration when using cell phone, CD player and radio. Even my wife, the skeptic, likes it.   Issues with the car 1. Trunk does not close easily. Needs to be adjusted but will wait until oil change is needed. 2. No contour seat option for passenger side. Why? 3. Gas tank is too small. Should be 18 or 19 gals. not 16.2
#14 of 125 QC by Chrysler? by garyking Feb 28, 2001 (5:35 pm)
Gee, it sounds like MB is having Chrysler do its quality control!<g> Glad I decided to wait till next year for a new "C".

1st year teething problems are common for all vehicles, even Japanese makes. So far the '01 C-class problems have been quite minor.   Drew Host Vans, SUVs, and Aftermarket and Accessories message boards
#16 of 125 Baby Benz due in 8 weeks... by sirus32 Mar 01, 2001 (6:57 pm)
Hello...   I've been waiting since Nov 11th, but my delivery date is coming quickly. Build date for my C240(Brilliant Silver/Charcoal,C1,2,4,Bose,CD-Changer and Xenons)is the 2nd decade in March. Paid full MSRP, but got all weather floor mats and CD-Changer thrown in for free. -Erich
#17 of 125 Another happy owner by sleake Mar 02, 2001 (10:27 am)
I was a lurker on edmunds C-Class forum for over a year before finally posting after putting the deposit on my car. I took delivery of my C320 (my first MB) on October 14th, and have been very happy with it in spite of a couple minor problems. (1) a serious static problem in the AM radio caused by a faulty connection (located in the headliner) that had to be replaced. (2) More recently, one of my two remote keys intermittently fails to lock or unlock the doors. I Love driving the car and I love the information sharing that goes on in this forum. Sherrill

#19 of 125 JimiB by jimib Mar 04, 2001 (9:56 am)
Just ordered a 2001 C320 in Silver with Charcoal int. May 2001 delivery. First MB, tired of SUV,s. I want something fun to drive but practical in our Wisconsin weather. Have 4WD truck for backup. Any comments on the new style C cars? Actually for my wife! (right!).
#20 of 125 JIMB....You are going to have a problem.... by lperakis Mar 05, 2001 (11:34 am)
We bought a C320 (our first MB!) and it is also "my wife's car" . BUT.. the C320 is so much fun to drive, you'll be negotiating with your wife as to when YOU get to drive it. No a bad problem to have....   Its a blast to drive. The acceleration is wonderful and very comfortable on long drives. Fit and finish is what you'd expect from MB. Handling at 65 MPH is wonderful as it is in city driving. The tranmission is perfect for those who don't want to shift thru the gears BUT it is a kick in the butt to drive if you choose to shift thru the gears.   Regards, Leon
