C300 Sport - excellence!

I purchased my 2014 C300 Sport AWD certified used at the end of 3-year lease with 30K miles and still drive it today; I am the second owner; owned many cars before and drive mostly in NJ/NY area. Car was initially maintained at the dealer as the first year was included by Mercedes and additional two years purchased maintenance plan. Then switched for maintenance and repairs to a local highly recommended mechanic and still servicing there. Only minor repair issues: 1. At dealer: A/C not cooling well, evacuated system (noted lower than expected refrigerant amount), recharged with dye, no leak for one week, used loaner car, returned to dealer for checks after few weeks, still no leaks, system charged at spec, cooling great since then; cost ~$250 (not covered by maintenance plan). 2. At mechanic: defective / worn-out driver's seatbelt buckle, replaced with OEM part; cost ~$150. Other than that, regular comprehensive maintenance, meaning: oil/filter every 5K miles at $125, differential fluid (~$100), ATF (~$400), break rotors/pads (~$1000, after driving 75K on OEM installed by dealer at time of purchase), wipers (every two years, ~$50). Overall ratings in Consumer Reports are low / very low which I completely disagree with after owning/driving this car for eight years. My assessment of this car: reliable, sporty with excellent handling in all conditions, surprisingly comfortable driving up to ~500 miles, very solid build, and many other positives. Two relatively minor negative observations: 1. I am 6 feet tall and only with the lowest driver seat setting my head is not touching the ceiling trim by side window and 2. car is truly compact (at least for my taste) - I wish Mercedes sized it between C300 and E350, somewhere in the middle. My overall rating and experience: excellently balanced car, fun to drive, reliable, and really solid. FYI, I rarely write any reviews. this one was triggered by few conversations with wife who has the same opinion (for once!).

Excellent value. I have never owned a car this long. I kept up the service.

I truly love this car. I haven’t loved a car like this since I sold my MGB many years ago. These two cars couldn’t be more different, but both are a joy to ride. My main criticism is the lack of modern safety features like a backup camera which my 2012 Prius had.

This has been a fun car to drive, but less than ideal for someone taller than 5'9. The front seat is very uncomfortable and is difficult to get in and out of when you are tall. Only reason I am selling it.
