2009 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 Luxury 4MATIC 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 7A)

I have owned many cars over my lifetime and I have not had a car as quality crafted, as well thought out, as sensuously feeling and as nice looking as this new C300 model. I owned an S500 in 2000 and a Porsche Cayenne, so I am used to quality cars. This car is better. It's quiet (big deal to me) and it's fast enough. It's not as fast as others in this price range, but it's not a high priority to have super fast pick-up. The electronics are the best I have seen and I shopped for a year. My small list of complaints is that it doesn't have a place for sunglasses and the iPod contents are visible on the dash screen, not on the console screen, it should be. Test drive this car, fantastic!

The car dealership advisors are all paid by commission. They are competing to change things on your car whether it's broken or not. I'm a woman and had the windshield wipers replaced without my authority at the first service after purchase. I've had them scare me that I needed brake jobs "right away" where I waited a year and it was still fine (after checked out by other source). I bought my car brand new with Warranty for 5 years. As soon as the 5 years passed everything started breaking down from the seat belt safety light & some SRS light with other minor malfunctions ($1500), check engine light ($2200), light bulbs and batteries are normal stuff and I won't complain about that. Finally now, I went shopping before work and came back to find I could not start my car due to ignition switch, the care died, had to be towed and service advisor tells me it's a proprietary part (which is true - verified by another trusted source) and needs to be ordered and put in by Mercedes ($2500). In the first 3 years of ownership, the interior began looking horrible. The interior sliver stripping around the water holders all came out just because I used it. The radio button black coating (with the # on it) started stripping and peeled away (1/2 black and ripped white spots all over like an old car. I was told by the service manager it's caused by lotion on your hands. The car seats are uncomfortable no matter how you adjust it. Not good for a very tall or heavy person. Think twice if you purchase this vehicle. Parts are all electrical and expensive labor. It's not like getting a Toyota or Honda fixed after warranty runs out.

My 2010 c300 is stunning to look at and has a smooth ride. However, some design features are stupid. Examples: dual climate control cannot be controlled using driver's knob (you have to turn both), there is no trunk pass through or fold down seats, the I-pod integration stinks - almost impossible to use, actually the entire sound system is difficult to use (radio presets must be accessed through the steering controls instead of the console joystick), drivers view of the windshield wiper controls are obstructed by the steering wheel, turn signal and Cruise control stalks are in weird positions. Engine needs more power and not very responsive when you Punch it. Beautiful car but needs improvement!
3rd review at just almost one year

Have had for almost a year now-still unusually ecstatic. Granted only driven it 3000 miles but have had absolutely no issues at all(other than the signal lever/cruise lever are too close together). MB Tex is much better than leather (although others can't tell the difference). Fold down rear seats have proved wonderful. Just loaned it to friends for the past week and they don't want to give it back now-it is a sports, luxury car and love the sporty look and drive.
Much improved

This is my 3rd C class Mercedes, following a 2001 C240 and a 2005 C230 Kompressor, and is easily the best of the lot. It is faster than any of my previous ones, more luxurious and far better built. The only area where it fails to live up, at least to my 2005, is in its aggression-factor. The 2005 C230 Sport was simply a far more aggressive car, with much stiffer springs, deeper and firmer bolstering on the seats and a loud and sporty exhaust. Of course, the new car is far more luxurious and still adequately sporty.
