Review
I used to love the car until recently, but I now cannot wait to get out of my lease.
It is the perfect size for me, comfortable, easy to navigate, and have everything I need.
However, I clearly got a defect car with a bad ignition system. The car is only 15 month old, and I got it as a brand new.
I have less than 5,300 miles on it.
Everything was fine for the first 1 year.
Then in this April, I drove 30 miles away from my home, and parked on the side street for coffee.
When I came back, I was not able to turn on the engine, and MB Roadside Assistance told me that the key didn’t recognize my car.
I had to wait for 3 hours to get my car towed.
It took 2 weeks for MB to replace the igni

Review
ive been researching about this car for months and im going to say what i wanted others to say in their reviews. the car isnt huge, but it is roomy im 5'7 and i fit prefect in the back seat, my step-father who is at least 6 foot also fit fine in the back, of course hes not going to want to be there for a long drive or a road trip but this car isnt small for the average person or average family. the power another story, there isnt much turbo lag maybe 2 or 3 seconds then you're off!. forgot to mention the system for the younger buyers that like that kind of thing its a great system. its no hardon kardon system but it will do its job and do it well. overall if you're looking for a starter benz

I just turned in my 2010 E350 Coupe for the C300 Sport 4Matic for weather issues.
While it doesn't have the speed of the E350 (which of course, it is not meant to), it is spry and actually more fun to drive as the car has no blind spots and you can zip in an out of city traffic with ease.
(I am 5' 3" and can see over the roof.)
I love it!!!
Great traction on wet roads and the ECO option and the gas mileage are added benefits.
Kept the same Panoramic Roof and stero system as I had in the E350.
Couldn't be more pleased.
I came from having BMWs and Volvos and Mercedes does it right!!

Review
Having traded in a G37 for this car, I am totally disappointed.
The engine is noisy and is now making a clattering sound that the dealership is trying to figure out.
I never had any sound issues with the G37.
Also, the performance is terrible.
I got the same mileage with the 328HP Infiniti as I do with this Mercedes and I didn't have to deal with a turbo and the lag.
By the way, the turbo lag is terrible.
If you stomp on the accelerator in E mode, you can fry an egg in the time you will wait for the transmission to get in gear to move the car.
All in all, this car is a terrible disappointment and I cannot understand why it gets such great reviews.

Review
Purchased my '13 C63 AMG with the P31 AMG Development Package and Carbon Fiber option over labor day weekend.
In a word, this car is..ridiculous.
Cross shopped the CTS-V / Audi S5 / BMW M3.
If you are looking for the best handling car with the best driving dynamics to track on the weekend - buy the M3.
This car has intoxicating torque and the exhaust is a symphony. If you're looking for the equivalent of a German muscle car at a decent price point that will make you smile during your DD time - then consider this car.
