cruise control

If you thought cruise control was standard equipment in the C-Class, apparently it is not. I thought that "Class A was standard, right?When I hear the word

'Class A is standard.Class C is not standardBut it is an option that almost everyone has. But since it's an option that almost everyone has, we'd like to see it included as standard equipment from the beginning.

This was the case.

As for usability.Cruise control function can be operated with a finger on the steering wheelIt is convenient to use while driving. It is convenient to use while driving because it can be done without having to pull a lever like an indicator.

When I said, "However, it's a nearly 7 million yen car, and I'd like it to have cruise control...", he replied, "I'd like it to have cruise control, too.

When I hear "7 million yen," I say.High!Many people think, "Oh, that's a good idea," but since there are quite a few other options included in the package, it is actually cheaper than in Europe. In that sense, European people often say, "I love that the Japanese version comes with so many options and at such a great price!Many people say, "I'm not a fan of that.

He said, "I see. I see.

Rear seat / Loading capacity

The back seat is not quite as spacious as it should be.Enough leg and overhead room for an adult male passenger.Yes, it is. The trunk capacity is 480 liters, and when I put my bag in the trunk, I felt it was a little small. If you are looking for a car with a large cargo capacity, you would probably choose a C-Class wagon.

C-Class is selling like hotcakes!

These are my impressions of the C-Class.The best-selling Mercedes-Benz model in JapanWhen the C-Class goes on sale, other manufacturers will be benchmarking it, and Mercedes-Benz is said to be very enthusiastic about introducing it to the world.

Finally, "What kind of person buys a C-Class?" I asked.

That's right. A very wide range of people purchase these cars, but many of them use them as family cars. Also, parking lots in Japan are very narrow, especially when it comes to standing parking.E-Class with a car width of 1,850mm is just barelyIt is. In this respect, the C-Class has a width of 1,810 mm, so it can fit in any parking space with room to spare.Despite its relatively compact size, the ride quality is firmly Mercedes-Benz.I think this is the part that has been well received.

This was the case.

I also had the opportunity to test drive Mercedes-Benz twice, last time with the A-Class and this time with the C-Class.Test drive at Mercedes Me provides more information than a test drive at the dealership.It felt like a "（I don't test drive at the dealership that often though.)The following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.

The staff at Mercedes Me.Experience Mercedes for many people.I had the impression that the amount of information on each car was abundant because of the limited number of vehicles available for test drives and the fact that they were being handled for the purpose of "making a good impression".

For our part, since there is no sense of caution about being "sold", we can ask questions without hesitation about things that concern us, and we can gain a deeper understanding of Mercedes-Benz.While I was test driving here, I found myself buying a Mercedes!I thought it was quite possible that "the

C-Class Test Drive General Comments

Finally, a general review of the C-Class.A car that is easy to drive anyway.The handling, braking, and acceleration were all reliable. The handling, braking, and acceleration were all reliable, allowing me to leave the car in the hands of the driver and drive with peace of mind. Even women who are not very confident in driving can feel free to go anywhere they want.

The trunk capacity is sufficient for families that do not carry a large amount of luggage, and the family can ride comfortably together when the children are young.

andThe interior is also of a quality worthy of its price.And the design and the shape of the lights were cool. Although I didn't drive on the highway this time, it was quite stable in the A-Class, so I am sure it will surpass it.

It's not "the more you excel at something, the less you have of something else."High standards in all categoriesI was impressed once again by Mercedes' overall strength. I felt again that Mercedes has high overall strength.

However, since we only drove through the city with heavy traffic, we were not able to hear how much acceleration the car really had, or the sound of the engine when the driver stepped on the accelerator.

So, do you want a C-Class?" If you ask me... if it's such a comfortable and luxurious Mercedes, I'll say, "Yes.I would like to go up to S, not to say C class.I honestly thought, "I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do that. In terms of driving fun, I found the Porsche more enjoyable because(Click here ↓ to see what I thought of the AMG S63 Coupe when I drove it before)

Which do you prefer? AMG S63 4MATIC Coupe (C217) and Panamera Turbo (971) are different like this.

I wonder if I would choose to buy a used S-Class over a new C-Class...But I can't afford to buy either of them with my financial resources.

Still, a test drive is fun! I would like to visit Mercedes Me again on occasion.
