Mercedes For a 18 Year Old?
Hey guys,

I'm new to this forum, my name is Edwin and I'm 18. I was thinking of buying the new Mercedes C350 2008. Do you think this car is appropriate for a 18 year old? Many people say Mercedes are for old people, i just wanted your opinion on this.

Thanks

I think the car is fine for an 18 year old... its not that much power, and its got some metal around it. At 18 I had a millenium yellow corvette with mods... handled it fine.. no accidents or tickets.. let me rephrase - SPEEDING tickets that is, stupid no front plate, i got once.

Yes its suitable as its the smaller sedans if it was a E or S-class that might be a stretch for your age.

It is a great car for an 18 year old. I had an E46 M6 at 16 and everone said that was a bad idea. It was a GREAT idea. I respected the power the car had. Also it was a very safe car for the following reasons:
it had to ability to swerve to miss crazy Memphis drivers who pull in front of you
it had the brakes to stop before hitting some one who pulls out in front of you

These two things are great for a young driver who is starting to learn what to expect from other drivers.

Now here I am almost 21 with my modded S4, it is great. Still no wrecks (many avoided due to handling and brakes of both cars I HATE MEMPHIS DRIVERS) and not a single speeding ticket or any ticket for that matter (knock on wood).

Go for it man and enjoy in good health.

Get a pre-owned ML. As you go to college you will be able to fit more women in it then the C class. You may not understand now but you will thank me later .
