Summary
For $31,795, the Mercedes-Benz C230 Kompressor offers much more than just a three-pointed star on the hood. It's fun to drive. But it's also practical and comes with that legendary Mercedes-Benz durability. Add the optional sport package and the C230 Kompressor rates a solid A among sports sedans.
