Which Mercedes-Benz to stay away from?
Short Answer: 1994, 2001, 2013, and 2014. Most years of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class performed decently on the road, so even the worst years aren’t as bad as much of the competition. If we had to advise some years to avoid, we’d recommend refraining from the 1994, 2001, 2013, and 2014 selections. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class has been a top choice for buyers looking for a compact luxury sedan. Both the W204 (2008-2014) and W205 (2014-2021) generations are reliable options with a premium feel.
