Unlike the automatic climate control system found on the C-280, the C230 Kompressor uses manual heating and air conditioning controls. The system works well and is easy to operate and comes with dual-zone left and right controls. Hay fever sufferers will find relief from the dust and pollen filters. Owners living in northern climes will warm up to the system's ability to recirculate residual heated air for up to 30 minutes while the car is parked - great for quick dashes into the store. Mercedes-Benz has a way of making an ordinary gauge panel look like a precision instrument. Faux carbon fiber trim dresses up the dash, doors and center console on the Sport models. The front bucket seats are firm and supportive. Leather seating inserts are standard. Full leather, which covers the seats entirely and is used on the door panels, is an option for both models ($1,345). The rear seat in the C-Class is a bit too narrow for three adult males to ride shoulder to shoulder for long distances.Ī C6 Sport package ($900) is available for either model that adds leather sport seats (in addition to suspension hardware covered below). The sport seats offer more side bolstering for better lateral support. You don't slide off the seat when cornering hard. These seats are in the firm German tradition and provide excellent support for long drives. The C-Class offers comfortable seating for four. New to the list of standard equipment for 2000 is a tilt/telescopic adjustable steering column that makes the C-Class more comfortable to drive. Mercedes renamed the C230 in honor of the sports car's engine, appending 'Kompressor' - German for supercharger - to the alphanumeric. A shiny badge was added to the trunk lid to make sure everyone knows.

No one will mistake a C-Class sedan as anything other than a Mercedes-Benz. It has that traditional Mercedes look. That look has become a bit dated. However, it comes loaded with technology designed to enhance safety. Side-impact airbags, an electronic anti-skid system and an electronic brake system designed to aid drivers in panic stops are all part of the package. The mighty C43, a 302-horsepower sports sedan prepared by German tuner AMG, has been discontinued. Moving up to the C280 raises the price to $35,950, but brings a 194-horsepower 2.8-liter V6 engine. The 2000 C230 Kompressor offers a base price of just $31,750. But the C230 Kompressor hardly warrants the term 'base model.' Two models comprise the C-Class: the C230 Kompressor and the C280.
