C300 2017

Do not count the "Reliability" rating. That is bogus and mandated. How can a vehicle be given a rating for reliability in a short time frame? Ask me again after it has 20,000+ miles on it, then I can answer that question. I am enjoying the ride, comfort, and fun the C300 provides. I have the 4MATIC and that has already come in handy over the past month when dealing with snow and slush. I do enjoy how the back end will cut lose very much as if the car is setup like a rear wheel drive and not an AWD system. The interior takes a little get used to for the controls, but that does not take to long. I do wish some of the stems that are attached to the steering column were more visible or provided some kind of feedback either on the dash or audibly. The power is sufficient for this small of a car. Sadly the interior is a tad cramped for those in the back seat. The front seat on the other hand is very roomy and there is plenty of headroom.

why not spoil yourself like this

It's a beautiful car, the design is classy yet sporty, perfect for a young professional, performance wise is amazing, after you drive this is so hard to drive anything else, the standard is definitely higher. The car screams quality from any angle you look at it, and one of the most important things, you feel safe even when driving on fun roads. This truly is "the best or nothing"

Great car

The car not only looks great but also performs amazingly. Love the interior design and finishes. Handles very well. My only issue was too many option packages and the entry level is very basic and don?t have the bare minimum the brand should carry.

I test drove nearly every luxury and standard brand out there to ensure I wanted a third mercedes, and hands down ... nothing compared.

The best car I ever owned.

This car meets all my needs with a little bit of luxury. Gorgeous interior and great gas mileage. Great materials use for the interior of the vehicle with soft materials overal.

Love it, so sporty!!!!!

Love it, it is fun to drive and it is a real looker!!! I have had a Ford Expedition for 20 years, so this is a real treat to drive. I love how it handles and the sport model performance is so exhilarating!!!!

Can't ask for a better car.

Being my 12th Mercedes tells you how much I respect the brand. The logic of the controls flows naturally.
