Blue with brown convertible is simply beautiful

Remarkably easy to enter even with top up. It's ew and always gets compliments. Also great gas mileage

Most beautiful car I've ever owned.

I have the new 2017 c300 convertible in midnight blue (with a blue rag top and saddle brown MBtex interior). I can honestly say it's gorgeous! You slide into absolute luxury inside: the seats are *so* comfortable, the dash sleek. Being a convertible, the radio isn't great top down, but it's a tradeoff I don't mind. The only thing I'm not thrilled with is what I call *the shudder* when stopped. Apparently, MB engine goes to battery mode, and it very physically *shifts* with a shudder. You can turn it off (compromising your MPG), but you have to do it manually each and every time you start the car. A pain, but not insurmountable. All in all, a great car that I LOVE to drive!

Best gift I ever received

The motor in this baby, I truly like, the pick up and go with a smooth transition is to be admired. The luxury of the car makes the sport look even more fine.

Overall, very impressed

Traded in a 2008 E550 on this C300. Immediately taken by the acceleration from this turbocharged 4 cylinder. After driving an 8 cylinder for years, I had grown accustomed to the smooth power and impressive acceleration. This turbo 4 gives every bit of that feeling of power, and it quicker off the line than the 8. Rear seat legroom is much improved over the 2008 E, which is surprising for an overall smaller car. Trunk space is a little less, but not enough to be a problem. Very comfortable and smooth. Great car.

Great option

This car met most of my needs. Definitely a top notch car. A little small but can still perform. I would recommend.

Best car I've ever owned.

2017 C Class Coupe. Beautiful inside and out. Incredibly responsive. Fun to drive. My first Mercedes and definitely not my last.

Best Car to Lease.

When I began car shopping I really didn't know what I wanted, but I said if I have to pay for it it's going to be the car I want. I fell in love with the Mercedes 2017 C Class 300. It spoke to the young professional within me with class at every angle and I'd also opted for a maintenance package. I'm leasing this vehicle and I love it.

True Luxury

The C300 an E300 are in a league of there own. I did love the Gulia, Q60 Red sport, and A5 sportback. They were all missing something. My girlfriend was looking at the C300 cab. I went alone for support we ended up buying 2 cars a C300 cab and E300.

I bought a pre-owned Mercedes GLK

I love the vehicle. By using Cars.com I got the best price, and equipment that I wanted. I will definitely do it again on my next purchase.
