USED PRICE: From £2,425

The rear-wheel drive Mercedes-Benz C-class is a familiar sight, and a big seller for Mercedes. Interior quality is perceived as very high, particularly if options like leather and sat-nav are specified. For this reason they are expensive to buy new or used. The latest diesel Mercedes C-classes can be extremely fuel-efficient.

Until recently, the Mercedes Benz C-Class had a bit of an image problem. It was really rather dowdy looking. To many it was a straight lace big brother to the sleek Audi A4 and the thrusting BMW 3 series. But not anymore. In 2007 Mercedes literally face-lifted the C-Class, breathing youth into its looks with the aim of making it appeal to a whole new generation.

Buyers got the option to super-size the three-pointed badge and slap it right in the middle of the radiator grill. That's if they ordered a sport model. This version also comes with an AMG body kit, alloy wheels and lowered suspension. The C-Class is Mercedes' most popular model. More than 1 million have been sold since 2007.

You don't buy a Mercedes-Benz C-class for reasons of thrift. It's an expensive large car, particularly compared to mainstream rivals. But it's also satisfying to drive, safe, comfortable and good fun to drive.

It doesn't matter which generation Mercedes C-class you choose: it will almost certainly be pricier than an equivalent Ford or Vauxhall. The reason for this is Mercedes' strong image, and the fact that some (though not all) C-classes are extremely durable. The C-class Sport Coupe has now been replaced by the CLC - effectively a thorough facelift of the same car.
