2009 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Review
Overview
It’s about fitting in while Standing Out! Getting the most out of life means making the most of every situation. The versatile 2009 C-Class Sport Sedans feature a smooth and powerful 3.5 liter 24 valve V6 engine. Black Birdseye Maple wood trims the console and doors while hooded chrome rings encircle the gauges in the instrument panel. The powerful sound system features six speakers and a standard CD player while the leather- wrapped multifunction sport steering wheel lets you change CD tracks and so much more. Mercedes integrated approach to safety starts by optimizing your ability to stay out of harm’s way with responsive handling features such as the Electronic Stability Program and emergency-sensing Brake Assist. So whatever you’re planning count us in. You’ll find the 2009 C-Class is specifically designed for any environment — or state of mind — in which you find yourself.
