 The 1998 Mercedes-Benz C230 Sedan requires high test fuel yet has no power to speak of.  Its gas milage stinks for such a small car.  It is not very comfortable or roomy on the inside. This car would have been an OK choice for a single person. Its resale and trade-in values are terrible.  If I would have done appropriate research beforehand and known all of these things I would have NEVER of purchased this car.  It is surprisingly bad for one of the alledged higher end vehicles.
