"I have been dying to purchase a mercedes so imagine my delight when i went on to cars.com to search for one. this was, by far, the best car buying experience i have ever had. i scheduled the test drive and it drives like a dream. you know you are sitting in a luxury car yet it feels powerful at the same time. i love the styling of the car - very classic. i think the interior could use more space - no room for gps so next time i am buying the navi system. it has been two weeks and i still smile when i drive this car. LOVE IT!"

"very nice car. Was looking for something under 185 inches in length for my wife to drive mostly around town. It replaced a car that was 196 inches in length. Liked the exterior look of the C350 and was able to find one with the color combination that my wife wanted."

"I've had my eye on this car since it came out in 2008. With my wife's blessing, I finally decided to pull the trigger on a slightly used 2011. My first thought, I can't believe what I've been missing. This car is incredible. Its surprisingly civil in comfort mode. Yet, ready to tackle the track in sport mode. The seats are quite snug and may not be comfortable for all. I do agree that the interior parts are not on par with most $60k+ cars. However, that is easily forgotten once you hit the accelerator and the intoxicating exhaust note is sung. I do use my car for daily driving and have zero complaints."

"After driving the Audi and BMW, the C350 was an easy sell. Simply put, it's a little rocket. For the price, it's definitely a head turner! Haven't had any reliability/quality issues yet, but the local Mercedes dealership has gone above and beyond with their level of follow-up. The only issue I have is the iPod adapter in the glovebox...it's easy to forget your iPhone in the car, since it's out of sight. The 2012 I drove did not have this issue. Highly recommend this for a fast and fun beginner Benz."

"The 2011 Mercedes Benz C300 will very soon be overshadowed by the much improved 2012 model. However, its still a really great entry-level luxury car. It will turn heads, it will earn you respect and envy. It will make others treat you like someone who has 'arrived'. It won't win many acceleration races from the traffic lights, but a Mercedes owner is making a different statement - it's all about HOW you arrive, not how fast you arrive...."

First High End Vehicle

"Okay - so it's an entry level Mercedes, but it's my first, so I'm excited about it. I have a pretty well loaded version, so it does everything except wash the dishes. Moved to San Francisco, from Ohio so no need for a 4WD. I like the hill assist feature which keeps you in place on the big hills this city has for a few seconds before rolling backwards. The Navigation system is really first rate, and once I really learn how to use it, I'm sure I'll like it even more - this was a must have for someone not from the area to help get around. I get 6 months of Sirius Satellite radio and will likely keep it, as it's a nice feature to have for road trips. Back seats fold down to make more room, and I really appreciate having a lockable trunk in the city. Drives very smooth, easy to see out the windows...has a button that creates shade on the back window for sunny days (black leather interior can get hot). Very few cons, but a couple of areas for improvement - Sound system is good, but not great. The interior feels a little cheap, especially where the left foot rest is, I can feel the difference between the carpet and some other material that sounds cheap when you tap your feet on it. Keyless starter is hard to release key for valet. I give it a little low value for the money, as for this price you can get a really good standard brand car, but then again, it isn't a Mercedes! :) Comes with a service plan, so assume most things will be covered."

"This is a very nice car, hands down. I will not hesitate to recommend this car. A nice piece of machine.I am proud to be the owner of such a beautiful vehicle/machine. Can't see myself buying anything but a BENZ in the future. I own a SUV too that is not a Benz. I am absolutely impressed with this car."
