Amazing M113 engines in the C43 and C55 AMGs
Robust 5G-TRONIC transmission
Clean, elegant styling
Double-wishbone + multi-link suspension setup
Good towing capacity

Certainly not conspicuous

Cons

Non-AMG models not so good looking
Lethargic diesels

Can't even reach 200km/h
Stuck with MacPherson struts in the front
The "rental car" look

Horrible 0-100kph time
Can't even reach 200km/h
Miserably low engine output
Only available with small engines
Rather poor fuel economy for the power output
Questionable design
