Pros Cons of Mercedes-Benz C-Class
Pros
- Be it lazy commutes or aggressive power output, this luxury sedan satisfies all requirements.
- The steering gives you precise, immediate feedback, and makes sudden direction changes engaging.
- Mercedes’ "Digital Light" headlight technology adapts to weather, oncoming traffic, and road conditions.
- This premium cabin gets a flat-bottom steering, brushed metal accents, and a massive touchscreen.
- New USB package features six 100W fast-charging Type-C ports scattered across the interior.
Cons
- Riding on 18-inch AMG alloy wheels means you will feel sharp bumps, road creases, and potholes.
- In an otherwise well-insulated luxury cabin, the ventilated seat’s whirring noise gets annoying.
- The 48V mild-hybrid tech does a great job of making stop-and-go driving progressive and smooth.
- The C-Class sits low to the ground which means getting in and out requires some bending.
- The nine-speed gearbox can sometimes perform a jerky downshift when you're braking hard.
Verdict
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a reminder of what a luxury sedan ought to be. The C300 especially, is a highly emotional, high-revving petrol motor that Mercedes has crafted to be an absolute hoot to drive. It is a car that looks incredibly handsome on the outside, pampers you with cutting-edge tech on the inside, and puts a massive grin on your face the second you find an open stretch of tarmac.
Bilal Firfiray said in his review:
“If you are looking for a premium luxury sedan which is involving to drive, brings a smile to your face every time you grab the wheel, and feels like a million bucks, there are very few options out there.”
If you are an owner who loves to grab the steering wheel yourself, craves instant mechanical grip, and wants a car that feels like a multi-million-dollar baby S-Class from the driver's seat, the C300 is hands-down the one to have.
Pros Cons of Audi A6
Pros
- New-Gen Tech
- Increase In Dimensions
- Refined Engine
Cons
- No Diesel Engine
- Limited Interior Storage
- Stiff Ride Quality
Verdict
The new 5th generation Audi A6 sedan impresses on several levels and leaves its predecessors shortcomings far behind. On the inside the A6 will truly impress as the cabin has moved up several notches on not just design, materials and gadgets, but most importantly - on comfort. The last car had a very awkward rear bench and the new A6 will pamper its rear-seat biased owners with a very comfortable bench and seatback angle. The A6 will be a credible and robust addition to the Audi sedan portfolio.
