2013 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 Luxury 4MATIC 4dr Sedan AWD (3.5L 6cyl 7A)

I've driven the 2013 C300 Luxury for 25000 miles. It is far better than the older 2011 with the increase in horsepower from 228 to 248 - it really moves now with the 7-speed. My gas mileage is 21mpg around town and has reached more than 30 mpg on highway trips (~65 mph). The exterior is neat and interior comfortable - it is well made and solid. It has the mBrace system, with Sirius radio, Bluetooth capability, and navigation (which works, but difficult to use quickly) The rear camera works well and is extremely useful while backing up. Stop-start ECO feature has worked flawlessly so far (it can be turned off, but must be turned off each trip). Lease over. Now have a 2017 Lincoln MKZ. Details to be presented soon.

Good MB but short on comfort

The good: recent 1600 mile trip to MSY over thanksgiving netted 27.5 mpg overall. 650 mile hwy trips with slight tail wind netted 28 - 30 mpg at 80mph. Here in STL around town and commuting to work I average 26 mpg. So not bad for all wheel drive. The infotainment system is great, even the cheaper one like I have with the cheap nav. It's all u will need. Now for the bad: dash rattles a bit over rough roads. The sport ride is too stiff (I'm 35). The front seats are terrible... It was hell driving 10 hrs. I bought it because I wanted a MB but I probably should have gotten something else more comfortable. It is a great car but just not right for me. I'll keep 1 yr no more.
Favorite of a lifetime

This little car makes getting around town a breeze. On long trips, the fuel costs are as promised by marketing literature. Handling on wet or icy roads has been reassuring due to the sturdy feel of the braking and steering systems. Great visibility throughout for safer lane changes, etc. Love the mocha/almond interior and seat warmers. Temperature zones adjust beautifully for individual comfort. Trip facts on mileage, time and distance are well laid out. Sound system suits the mood by caressing or rocking riders.

This is my first Mercedez-Benz. Car only has $52,000 miles on. Ignition starting delay and severe interior vibration cost me $4200 last month to replace timing chain and a used CPU. One month later, now the car is sluggish when on acceleration, mechanic tells me Fuel pump needs to be replaced and another $1400. I drove 2 Acura models in the past for 10 or more years, never had this much problem. Stay away from Mercedez

Used to love the car, but so unreliable...

I used to love the car until recently, but I now cannot wait to get out of my lease. It is the perfect size for me, comfortable, easy to navigate, and have everything I need. However, I clearly got a defect car with a bad ignition system. The car is only 15 month old, and I got it as a brand new. I have less than 5,300 miles on it. Everything was fine for the first 1 year. Then in this April, I drove 30 miles away from my home, and parked on the side street for coffee. When I came back, I was not able to turn on the engine, and MB Roadside Assistance told me that the key didnÂt recognize my car. I had to wait for 3 hours to get my car towed. It took 2 weeks for MB to replace the igni
