I am partial to the C class of 1994, a C180 as I own one. This is the Elegance model supposed to be having the softest suspension setup. At highway speeds or above 80kmh, the feel is fantastic, very smooth and no road noise or vibes. However at low speeds, the vibes get to u a lot esp. the small bumps and rail tracks. The body is superb, but does rattle a bit on rough roads. I would like to soften it further so the slow rides feel better, but how? We live in surburbs and do our daily travels mostly on not very good surfaces with tram and rail tracks. The fuel economy is very good and I am happy. The brakes are very sharp. The turning circle is so small and you will be surprised in the surburban streets and when city parking. The sound system is not the best, needs aftermarket systems to improve, but is hard work. If you want or need speed, go to the C280 or higher if any like C32. However, accomodation is a bit tight for tall people or if you have to carry bigger kids in this car. I find that the E class which I have driven before to be more luxurious feeling, much larger inside and in the boot and more smooth suspension anywhere, but hard to park due to its size.
