TCC’s Bottom Line

Pricey and on the slighter side of mid-size, the 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class drops a beautiful cockpit, huge dollops of safety, and effortless AMG brilliance into the sport-sedan mix.

The 2019 Volvo S60 hits a sport-sedan sweet spot, somewhere between nurturing and overbearing.

TCC Likes

Coupe, convertible, or sedan
A great-looking family

TCC Dislikes

Automatic-only
From $$ to $$$$
Tight rear seats
