Horrible car. Kept having a timing chain and camshaft adjustor issue. Had to have them replaced twice which cost me about $6,000. STAY AWAY FROM THIS CAR I AM NEVER BUYING A MERCEDES AGAIN

Having traded in a G37 for this car, I am totally disappointed. The engine is noisy and is now making a clattering sound that the dealership is trying to figure out. I never had any sound issues with the G37. Also, the performance is terrible. I got the same mileage with the 328HP Infiniti as I do with this Mercedes and I didn't have to deal with a turbo and the lag. By the way, the turbo lag is terrible. If you stomp on the accelerator in E mode, you can fry an egg in the time you will wait for the transmission to get in gear to move the car. All in all, this car is a terrible disappointment and I cannot understand why it gets such great reviews.

VERY DISSAPOINTING

Nice car to drive. Terrible car to operate! Nav. and entertainment system is old technology--small screen and tedious to operate. Must have the radio on to get backup camera. Back up camera points downward and wording on screen blocks view. Clump of levers on left side of steering wheel and nothing on right side. USB port at bottom of console compartment. Temperature controls too far down in center stack. Door lock knob protrudes too far up (hit funny bone too many times at drive through window). Terrible foot room in back seat. Humming noise after shutting off engine. Lag in engine during initial acceleration. On high speed, wipers don't move fast enough to get rid of heavy rain. Car chews up shoulders on front tires. Imitation leather is actually nice. Last Mercedes I'll ever lease/buy.

When I saw this car on your site, I couldn’t believe what I was looking at…turns out it was a just a few miles away and I headed straight over there. The real-time experience was FAR better than I’d hoped for! A black 2013 MBZ C250 with 38k miles!!! The car is literally flawless…with all documentation/CARFAX, 2 keys and a tank of gas…. I BOUGHT IT ON THE SPOT!! Thank you, Edmunds! I had been researching and looking at ALL of the sites I could find for over 2 weeks…patience IS a virtue - that and Edmunds!! -Eric H
