Used 2011 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 Sport 4MATIC 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 7A) Consumer Reviews
Capable and sure-footed ride
Purchased our C300 Sport 4Matic in September 2011. Just ticked to 10K. So far, so good. No maintenance issues - changed oil myself at 5K and ready to have dealer handle the scheduled 10K (free of charge). Solid, strong performer that is built like an ingot. Just did a 2K mile r/t to FL. Averaged 27.5 mpg overall with cruise at 78 mph on 835 mile run down I-95. Local driving a breeze - nimble and quick. Excellent audio system, seats good, back a bit tight for large folks. Adequate trunk for a getaway or other.
Consider Certified Used
Great car. Love the aesthetics and the red paint is a real eye-catcher. The 4Matic works great even here in the snowy North Hills of Pittsburgh. The seven-speed transmission never disappoints, and knows when to hold a gear while descending hills or even during a pause in acceleration. Fuel economy is acceptable, but ride and comfort are outstanding. Updated: My only quibble with the car is the lack of smart phone integration. Mercedes makes you purchase the integration separately, and then it only works with the iPhone 4, which of course by now is outdated. Updated (at 75K miles): The car is holding up very well. Just put a fresh set of Continentals on it and it rides like new again. I wouldn't change a thing. The ownership experience has been terrific. I have only performed routine maintenance, and have had no warranty claims nor out-of-pocket repairs. I highly recommend this generation of C-Class.

Awesome car
I bought mine pre-owned with around 70k on the odometer, now has 141k and still runs strong. I’ve owned 3 Mercedes, 3 bmw, 2 Audi’s and this one is by far the most reliable. I also used it for a year doing Uber driving on the side where it got a lot of abuse. Still runs and nothing done to it except your normal oil changes, brakes. Be sure to buy good tires or road noice will be evident. Also the factory low beam headlights suck. I recommend replacing them to LED but not easy task. Fantastic car- highly recommend.

Beautiful & more
Prior owner of Lexus SUV, Jaguar and Toyota, this car was not on my list to purchase. I was all decided to buy the BMW 328 xDrive given the deals and the whole package. The prices for BMW and C300 4Matic were exactly the same with minor differences in equipment. However, as I drove the C300W it was a game changer. A very well mannered, it is a pleasure to drive this car. If you want to accelerate faster, it will let you do that. Handling is very good, the power is good and is adequate given what you are paying for. Legroom is very good in the rear seats. The cabin ambiance is just beautiful. Styling is awesome and it feels every bit of a mercedes.
Proud owner since August 2011
Purchased mine certified pre-owned from the dealer with approximately 5,000 miles. I have the premium package and really enjoy the car. As of today it has near 70,000 miles on it and still on the original tires/brakes, etc. Had an issue with the AC last summer but the dealership was able to resolve which was covered under the warranty. The service is top-notch, but you certainly pay a premium. Drives well in the snow. Tinted the windows for privacy, and have black exterior/interior so overall it looks very sharp. I tend to average low 20's local and 26-28 mpg highway, which is better than advertised, using premium.
