A traction control system is available. Mercedes engineers wrote the book on luxury suspension that combines ride comfort with handling ability and allows road feel without intrusive noise and vibration. Like the seats, the ride is a little firmer than the American luxury standard, and, like the seats, there are good logical reasons for that. Never argue with a German engineer. Other aerodynamic and engineering details ensure extreme quiet, with minimal road, wind, and mechanical noise for greater comfort.
Power is good, and responsive, around town.
Only on quick acceleration does the relatively small size of the engine make itself known. In the case of the Mercedes-Benz C220, somewhat less than it was a couple of years ago. And a bit better. The C220 may be small, but so is a diamond. 21.3 Fuel Capacity 16.4 gal.
