Bells and whistles

The car has too many options at a hefty price. Many things today should be standard. It is difficult to get familiar with all the functions and easy to take your eye off the road while driving.

Exceptional Design!

Great design that delivers inside and out what I would say is the best driving experience for a 4 door car I have ever driven.

Not much different from previous model

I own 2015 model, and I test drove and checked this car "2019". I also have been waiting for this new model. Only to be disappointed to see it with many similarities with my own car. I really expected Mercedes to come up with different and more aggressive design. I thought it will be what they now call it a GT. I have to pay about $60,000, on top of my car as a trade in. While it doesn't offer more than $20,000 in value and change in design to trade my car. When designing new model, they should think: Does a new design give enough of of difference for current owners to consider trading, even regardless of price ?

2016 C450AMG with Run-flat tires, rough riding

Rough riding, uncomfortable with hard driver seat, loud road noise due to run-flat tires. One front tire exploded @ 26,000 miles, no warranty, so they suck. The car has good performance, economy and mechanically speaking, but cannot make up for the poor ride and road noise.

Comfort, class and performance excellence!

It is by far one of the most technologically advanced vehicles that I've owned (38 total from 9 different manufacturers - including previously MB, BMW, Audi, Nissan, Mazda, Toyota, Ford, Chevrolet, and Buick). The performance is as responsive as the BMW M series and the functional operations are more intuitive.

Fun car to drive

Car is quick, but ride is a bit rough...likely due to the run flat tires. The AMG wheels must be pretty fragile as 2 of the wheels are dented from potholes within the first 1500 miles.

Best car ever!!

Love this car! It drives like a sports car but is extremely luxurious. Very good miles per gallon, much better than the S550. The luxury is “seeping” with the smooth lines & textures. I’m very happy!

Most beautifully car in its class.

The car is a beauty. Well designed and made when lots of thought put into the design. It?s fun to drive with ample power and slick exterior design.
