The new Mercedes C-class became clearly more dynamic but which is the best choice?

Body/chassi: Winner: E-class
The fact that the smaller C-class cannot maintain ground with the space offer against the large e-class hardly surprises. The difference shows up most clearly in the rear

TRAVELLING COMFORT: Winner: E-class
The C-class is balanced, the E-class is however better. Although the E-class with optional avant-garde package inclusive of tauter chassis tuning start can filter, it still more harmoniously crude unevenness. Not only the unreeling comfort convinced, also the noise insulation is better.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION: Winner: C-class
The compressor engine is more spritziger in the lighter C-class. But sprintet the 140 kilograms easier C 200 K starting from speed 100km/h the E 200 K up and of it. Besides Mercedes the six-course transmission with shorter operating paths pleases in C-class. The precision could however be more accurate in both.

DRIVING DYNAMICS: Winner: E-class
The C-class is agil, but the E-class scores in handling. C-class scores better in slalom but more points for E-class in handling. E-class shorter braking distance. From 100 km/h the E 200 K stands after 37.5 meters - with warm brake still another half meter in former times. C 200 K needs - coldly as warm - 38.7 meters, also as the brake pedal cannot be proportioned sensitivly as that of the larger Mercedes.

ENVIRONMENT & COSTS: Winner: C-class
Not only with the price the C-class cuts off clearly more favorably With warranties and tax both still are on same level. By his high price of 38140 euro loses larger Mercedes however points.
