Replying to: tbelcher (Dec 19, 2005 10:35 am) The dealer claims the sound is "normal". They said they checked another '06 on the lot and it had the same sound. I commented that did'nt make it "normal" as there could be a bad lot of parts. However, I dropped it as an issue and will continue to monitor it on my car.   I have a revised theory as to the source. Rather than a "sticking switch", I now beleive it is simply a noisy solenoid / relay.

Replying to: newowner (Aug 15, 2005 11:06 pm) Hello and Congratulations on your new C280. I was the owner of a '04 C230 Kompressor until a crash that wrecked the car, thank God for the safety of mercedes.   I am currently looking at getting the '06 C280 as a replacement, hoe do you like yours? Are you getting the gas mileage you anticipated? (19/26) Also, I am tempted to hold out until the dealer can get me the "rear side airbags", did you get the feature?   Thank You for your help.   Good Luck with the new car,   Martin Replies to this message: 280cruiser (Feb 17, 2006 5:31 pm)

Replying to: 06c280 (Jan 03, 2006 7:48 am) I just got my C280 December 23rd and love it. In Minnesota we get frequent snowfall and the 4 matic works amazingly well. The mileage is not as good as I had anticipated and the gas tank itself could be larger. I am always adding gas to it.

#336 of 390 C280 4Matic after 3,000 miles by dbrand Mar 15, 2006 (5:51 pm)
After 3,000 miles traveled, my C2804Matic is all I had hoped it would be. I look forward to a month-long road trip in May across the US--it's a great road car. For you MPG folks, I have kept track of my mileage and even keeping the transmission in the "S" mode, I am averaging 27 on highway and 24 city. Fit and finish are perfect--I wash and detail my car myself and from every angle--it's flawless. I have had no problems, nothing has failed--all components function perfectly. It has lots of "poop", shifts smoothly, brakes strongly and the 4Matic is faboo in our heavy rains (I don't take it out when roads are icy). I wrote a letter to MBUSA suggesting future models have a rubber tread pad fitted to the drivers' left footrest so a/r types like me won't worry about soiling the carpeting on this natural place to brace the left foot. Also suggested the rear deck lid hand hold (for closing the lid) is awkwardly located. Was surprised one morning to receive a call from the C model product manager who said they would consider these suggestions in next model. This is my third Mercedes (not counting the ones my ex husband owned that I drove), and I can't see ever buying another marque. Sign me "Happy Mercedes owner/driver".

Replying to: dbrand (Mar 15, 2006 5:51 pm) Great to hear such feedback. My 2006 C-350 Lux too is going fabulous guns at 8800 miles...It is absolute perfection, silken smooth and no issues at all. Mileage averages to 27 in city, and one road test on freeway at a constant 60mph for about 2 hrs got me 34mpg! I am also very frequently clocking 120 mphs...and the car is amazingly stable and quiet.

Replying to: merc1 (Mar 16, 2006 3:29 am) Ditto! I've been "saving" for a C350 or C280 for a while (since about October) to minimize payments. I'm impressed with the car from what I know. I'm hoping the reliability issues are a thing of the past for these models - as despite what all the auto mags say, for me these are really new cars with the 2006 model year.

Replying to: dfc3 (Sep 24, 2005 3:38 pm) I highly, I mean highly, recommend NOT getting the tan leather interior. I am constantly cleaning it. Also, dont ever wear a black leather jacket if you have tan leather. It needs to be cleaned on a regular basis. Just wanted everyone to be aware of that. Thanks!---Brian in Minneapolis!
