Other noteworthy features include the first-aid kit in the rear seat parcel shelf, a fold-down armrest in back with pull out dual cupholders and Smart Key, which isn't a key at all, but rather a plastic fob that slips into a slot in the dash and uses an infrared signal to start the car.

Brake assist sensors detect panic stops based on how quickly you apply pressure to the pedal it can apply full force faster than the driver can. Several trips on rain-soaked pavement proved the system works well, especially in moving from the stop light without the tail end wavering while attempting to get a grip.Īlso standard is Brake Assist to help reduce stopping distances in emergency braking situations. ASR electronically limits wheel spin on slippery surfaces, from rain-soaked to snow-slicked roads, by applying the rear ABS and, if needed, regulating fuel flow to the engine to slow the vehicle down. The rear-wheel-drive C-230 also comes with ASR, an anti-slip traction control system, as standard.

But kudos to Mercedes for more intelligent bags.Īlso, if you buy a Mercedes child seat, sensors in that seat tell the sensors in the passenger seat that a child is on board and the bag will not deploy. Then it will determine whether to deploy the bag and the speed at which it should deploy based on vehicle speed at time of impact.

Very learned, but not "smart" as defined by bags detect not only whether a person is in the seat, but also will sense the occupant's size and weight as well as position in the seat and whether he or she is wearing a seat belt. You may want to call it a "smart air bag." Not quite. If no one is in the seat, the air bag will not deploy in an impact. The passenger seat has sensors that detect an occupant or absence of one. The C230 we tested comes with dual front and side-impact air bags. It boasts all the comfort and convenience of a land yacht, but is just big enough to house four adults and their luggage or golf clubs and just small enough to easily maneuver and park in one try. Like the Cadillac Catera, it is sensibly sized. Fine road manners, excellent attention to detail and an array of safety features-from anti-lock brakes and air bags to a first-aid kit. The compact sedan plants itself on the pavement. The supercharger tends to growl a bit the V-6 is whisper quiet. The Carfax report shows history in Pennsylvania and New Jersey with 21 mileage readings and no accidents or other damage.The C230 exhibits some 4-cylinder traits, one being a trace of noise at hard acceleration.
