Review

Bought this car as a present for my wife just because she wanted it. This car is pathetic in comparison to my BMW. Even the Corolla I owned previously was better. Engine computer module keeps on failing. Even the loaner they gave me felt flimsy, as if it was about to fall apart.

Review

It's a performance car only for people who have never owned a performance car. Everything is an option and you feel like you're getting nickled and dimed. Mercedes quality has been below average for a long time (hence no purchase) but maybe now it's getting better. Got this car at a good price so I bought it. Hope I don't regret it.

Favorite Features

None really.

Suggested Improvements

Crappy seats. Crappy performance. Who will want to drive this car 10 years from now? No one.

Review

We just purchased recently but so far are really impressed with the car. The style is a head turner and the interior is awesome..the high tech. advancements are very high end. It drives like a little sports/race car while has much more room inside than expected, especially with the fold down rear seats. Huge advancements over prior models and it really feels and looks like a MB should!

Favorite Features

style/sportiness/solid feel

Suggested Improvements

seats are little hard (that probably adds to the sporty factor)

Review

I've owned many M-B's since 1984. This is a very nice car, but after a month, I wish I'd gotten the C350. I also have an '06 Porsche Carerra S Cab and just turned in an '07 E350. It has P1,P2,Nav,18's and Panoramic Roof. All that stuff works great, but the seats are not as comfortable as my E350 was. My two major gripes are the brakes and power. I do 70% freeway driving and at 65 mph, this motor has limited passing ability. Punch it and it makes a lot of noise, but takes an hour to get around a big rig, especially on an uphill grade. I guess it depends on what you're used to. Additionally, the car is 'underbraked'. You really feel the brakes straining to bring the car down when needed.

Favorite Features

The voice activated NAV works great. So does the Bluetooth, but it won't import my phone book like my 2007 E did. Car has less body roll than my E Class did...that's a plus!

Suggested Improvements

Larger brake rotors (carryover from C350) and a little more torque and horsepower would make this a complete winner. Also, include fold in mirrors and PLEASE bring back the right side mirror parking position feature. Also, display each individual tire pressure on the TPMS screen like Porsche does.

Review

This is my first Mercedes and I absolutely love it! I bought a 2008 model with package 2, and enjoy every day of driving it. Very beautiful, people always look at it. Good gas mileage, excellent handling, very smooth and quiet ride, excellent breaking: stops immediately with hardly any noticeable impact. Excellent suspension offers comfort or sport ride options. Powerful V6 engine, traction control and 4matic all wheel drive helps to handle the car very well on the slippery roads and snow. Has lots of neat features inside and out.

Favorite Features

Beautiful, powerful yet gracious, comfortable, can go on and on!

i LOVE this car! It has everything i could want and more. Wanted the new C since it came out and finally got it and couldn't be happier. Drive one and find out for yourself. Plenty of power for me. I just hope the reliability is as good as it seems when new. Ride is excellent in typical German manner.

Review

I have P1, iPod, 4Matic, and Multimedia, in addition to a regular (not panoramic) sunroof. I was shocked to realize that the rear seat did not fold. I also wish that MB would be more standard in premium packaging. For example, the M-Class's premium 1 package includes parkview camera and navigation.

Favorite Features

Bluetooth phone, navigation, SOLID handling. This car handles better than some SUVs in the snow! Also, the car is super stable and the ride is phenomenal!!

Suggested Improvements

My biggest pet peeves are lack of parkview camera and no fold down rear seat with P1 package.

C300 Sport - Nice!

Review

Beautiful car! The only complaint I have is I wish it had more horsepower. I have a G35 coupe which has 280HP, and going down to 228HP is a little change. The ride is awesome.

Favorite Features

The multimedia system is great and the bluetooth system is clear. The stereo is like a theater system.

Suggested Improvements

A little more HP would be good.

Review

I test drove Audi A4 and Lexus I250. Both are great cars, but they did not catch my soul. As soon as I saw C300 Sport in the deader, I "fell in love." Excellent exterior design! The ride in C300 is very comfortable and solid. When I drive it in the hard rain, it is unbelievably stable. I feel more secured and protected inside C300 while driving than IS250 and A4. The gas pedal is stiff, but once I step on, the car runs fast. Gas mileage is about 20-21 in local traffic and 25-26 in highway. Not so bad in V6. The package includes Premimum 2, Ipod connection, automatic transmission.

Favorite Features

The exterior design. This is the main reason I bought C300. Aggressive front face and dual exhausts in rear face.

Suggested Improvements

I think foldable rear seats should come standard. We play golf and want to put pull-carts in the car. So, premium 2 package was required, which cost $3000.
