Specifications & Summary
Summary
At first glance, the 2008 Mercedes-Benz C350 Sport looks to be a strong contender in the entry-level luxury sedan market, appealing to those of us who want a sharp-looking ride that will impress us as drivers and possibly turn a few heads with its badges. Then you dig a little deeper, only to realize that what’s behind this nicely-styled Benz’s surface are elements that don’t live up to your expectations – expectations set by a number of superior alternatives.
