Fantastic, Sophisticated Car that isn't too flashy

I own a 2013 Mercedes C300 Sport 4Matic. This is my second Mercedes and I am very pleased with the car. I purchased my car CPO and got an excellent deal on it. I only paid $21,000 including taxes from Mercedes Benz of Westmont. I bought the car with 32,000 miles. It is black on black with aluminum trim inside with 17" wheels. One thing that really bothered me while looking for my car was how difficult it was to find a "luxury" model as opposed to a sport model as I thought I had preferred the hood ornament. I also could not believe how hard it was to find one withe the lighting package. I should mention that I only looked at CPO's so that made my search a little more refined. Anyway, I ended up settling on the sport model and am happy I did as it looks more aggressive on the road and has more appeal overall as a sports car. I ended up buying a car without the lighting package and had aftermarket LED projector headlights installed with a full LED low and high beam system. The headlights now look very similar to the AMG but even a little better as they have the S class LED bar below the arrow. I spent about $850 on the housings and LED system and it was the best investment I've made in the car. The car looks so much more clean as a result. Overall, I am very happy with the car. All I wanted was an AWD car with great power, handling and looks and the C Class delivers. The 249 hp engine beginning in 2013 really makes a difference in the driving experience too. You can pass on the highway very easily and have 0-60 in 6.0 capability. I have owned the car for 9 months and have had no mechanical or electrical problems whatsoever. I had my service A performed which was $200 at Mercedes and also had to replace the tires due to nails (which was annoying since they were basically new) which cost me $1100. The tires comes with 2 year warranty from Continental.

My dad bought a c250 sport sedan used with 8900 miles from RBM north. He has put 21 thousand miles on it in least than a year, he loves it. It is like driving a go kart it's a true sport sedan. The brakes are outstanding, the handling is sublime, the acceleration is great. The build quality is top notch the door panels are solid the gaps between the panels are practically invisible, no other car is built as good as a MB. Average 23 mpg, maintenance is inexpensive , hasn't given any problems. The interior is well designed, luxurious and looks interesting with two tone MB tex. Dual exhaust should come standard as well as 18 inch wheels. Back seats are cramped and narrow.

2013 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C63 AMG 4dr Sedan (6.2L 8cyl 7A)

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.

The 3.5 V6 delivers some serious power. I'm stunned with how great a machine this is. I feel protected with a long, affordable extended warranty (2013 with only 18k miles at purchase). It's a pretty steel blue. Could not have found a better match. The interior is more luxurious than I could want. Drives like I dream. I don't give a $@#& when I get passed, and I have a blast when I want to. It's awesome.
