2011 Mercedes Benz C240

Mercedes-Benz is offering a new model that is sure to catch the eye of those that are loyal consumers, or even those that are looking for a car that is safe and reliable, while adding in the safety features that only Mercedes-Benz offers. The offering is the 2011 Mercedes-Benz C240. This is considered the entry luxury car to the sedan that they offer, however, that does not make it any less appealing to those that are considering it. And the price is something that has gotten many people considering the car more and more since it is being offered at a little over $38,000, which is considered a fair price for such a brand, however, this is the base model. There are many options that people are going to get. 

For example, the all wheel drive is available as an option and is going to boost the price by around $4,000, however, this also includes the five speed automatically transmission as part of the deal. This automatic transmission is just another safety feature in the car as it can actually adjust its shifts to the road and weather conditions that the driver is experiencing. However, for those that are just considering the base model, they are still in for quite a few of standard surprises. 

The standard include climate control that is dual zone, leather seating, and a seven speaker audio system. In addition, they are going to get safety features such as air bags in the front, side and in the side head rests, as well as stability control that allows the car to maintain traction even if only one tire has a grip on the road. It is all of these things that are making people stop and stare and the new C240 that Mercedes-Benz is offering. 

Engine wise, people that are environmentally conscious are going to love the fact that the vehicle is considered one that is low emissions. The company states that they were able to achieve this through the use of the six cylinder engine that is a 2.6 liter that makes the cylinder charge faster releasing less emissions into the air. Horsepower wise, people can expect the engine to get around 168 horsepower. Those getting a base model are also going to find that the standard transmission is a six speed manual. 

Overall, the C240 is getting the kind of attention that Mercedes-Benz wanted the car to get. However, what is the public going to think of it? More than likely they are going to see it as more of a family sedan, however, with the power and options, it can be fun to drive, which is going to have many people running to purchase it.
