2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C250 d Coupe - What Car?
We’ve already driven the Mercedes C-Class Coupe in the lower powered of its two diesel engine options, and we liked it a lot. In fact, we liked it so much that we ranked it above its nemesis, the BMW 420d, so clearly Mercedes is on to a winner with this plush C-Class and its S-Class Coupe-inspired slippery silhouette. ", but more importantly whether we think it’s worth the extra £1155 it costs over an automatic C220d. What’s the 2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C250 d Coupe like to drive. The engine delivers a properly gutsy burst of speed that hustles the Mercedes up to cruising speeds with the sort of urgency that lives up to this car's sporting pretensions. It does feel noticeably more responsive than the 220 d, too, although even that lower-powered model doesn’t feel in any way tardy. The steering is responsive, direct and builds weight consistently, giving you a good sense of connection and making this sporting C-Class feel satisfying to drive spiritedly down a good road, or just to potter around town. This is the first time we’ve tried the C-Class Coupe without £895 optional air suspension fitted, and our test car was an AMG Line model with has stiffer standard suspension than you get with Sport trim.
