After leaving the silver star in 2007, I went to a BMW 528I and then a Cadillac SRX. I have owned and leased 5 Mercedes since 1997 and I missed not just the brand but the service from the dealership. My 2011 C300 Sport Sedan is fun to drive, comfortable and quite good on gas averaging about 27 on the highway. I've had it 3 weeks and after comparing it to a few vehicles like the BMW,Lexus, Infiniti and Cadillac, I decided to go back to Mercedes. The japanese manufacturers offer a little more bang for your buck, but I have all the features that I need in the P1 package. Its sharp,nimble and so far, an all around great vehicle.
Good but better alternatives

I financed a used 2011 C350 in April 2018. Not bad but the alternatives ( BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 and Infiniti G37) are better. Straight-line driving and highway coasting is very smooth, however this car lags at stoplight acceleration. Turning the steering wheel feels numb and heavy as the power steering is slow to adjust to constant turns and twists. Brisk handling is nowhere close to a BMW or Audi. Toyotas and Hondas always fly by me. The heavy weight of the C-Class greatly diminishes the 268-hp output. Very cramped inside, definitely not for 3 or 4 passengers unless you have two little kids riding. Bluetooth is for phone calls only, not music streaming. The MB-Tex faux leather is easier to clean than real leather and doesn't crack with age, but gets extremely HOT in the summer time. No power folding mirrors. Seat bottoms are flat and not meant for long interstate rides. There is no storage for sunglasses, only the tiny center console which can barely fit my wallet. The only cool features are the remote power windows/sunroof using your key fob, the multiple airbags, the multi-adjustable power seats, the in-dash DVD player, and the glove box which can be cooled like an ice box. Other than that, I should have purchased a 335i.

Not sporty at all, it's just a smooth and good looking gas guzzler

It's not sporty by any means. It's a smooth and quite car. It's not fun to drive, it's not exciting either. My major complaint is that it's such a gas guzzler and yet it's slow in its class. It does not do any better than 23 Mpg when cruising on freeway and despite the 230Hp, it's 0-60 is 7.1 seconds. I used to have a 2006 E90 BMW 325i that easily could do 28Mpg on highway and yet could go 0-60 in 6.5 seconds! I forgot to mention a collection of different rattles started at 15K miles and I had to change struts at 16K miles! To make things worst consider the fact that you have to pay for it's expensive maintenance out of pocket! It's maintenance plan is a joke...
