Average car

Although the C300 is a Mercedes-Benz it is only an average car. You feel safe and it is comfortable when riding in the car. But the entertainment and navigation are very hard to use and distracting while driving. It also at the level of trim that I was sold, the car does not come with all of the features you can get in Nissans, Toyota’s, Honda’s and Subaru’s . For a company who advertises the best or nothing I guess I got “nothing” for my money. This is partly my fault because I did not walk away from the first visit which was suppose to be an investigative visit . The sales manager made us an offer my wife could not refuse and so we had no way to consider features that did not come with the car we drove. Like no hands free calling and no assisted front collision breaking(that apparently is extra) Mercedes should NOT have trim levels. all cars should come with all features advertised in their adds and be at least as good as non luxury cars Unless the next offer is great on a fully loaded car then I will most likely be buying a different brand.

It sparkles

I love the style, the handle and the pick up. The color is also beautiful. I would recommend this car in a heart beat. I look forward to an ongoing relationship.

A pleasure to drive

After hunting for a car for a while and testing a few I can across this car prices where I was looking. Being a 2017 with 10,000 miles was also a selling point. This car is a dream to drive and is so luxurious. I love the convertable and the neck warmers are amazing. I can’t say enough about how much I like this ride.

Very reliable

The best car ever!!! I’m very picky so this is a lot coming from me. It doesn’t matter if you get a new or used one. These vehicles are made to last.

Best mid size affordable luxury coupe

I purchased the 2017 C300 Coupe used with 22,000 mile on it. It is the Designer 1 series with the flat Mango gray paint. It is absolutely a head turner. I compared the BMW 3 and 4, Lexus IS,RC and GSand the Audi A4. The Mercedes Benz c300 coupe was the first and last of the test cars. The BMW was sportier but I was interested more in the cabin and the ride. The other cars interiors were no comparison to the Mercedes. I am a little skeptical about reliability but I am very gentle on cars. The interior is incredible and the Burmeister stereo is outstanding. Not that it matters, but in ECO mode i am getting over 35mpg combined. Sport+ mode is a blast to drive in.
