Amazingly fast but amazingly expensive to maintain

In short: - purchased fall 2014 as 2015 model - C400 with some upgrades (Burmeister, LED, but no advanced assistance) - one recall (steering) - one issue with radio (reboots every 2-3 hours) - one door handle light died - one rear bumper replaced due to discoloration - two services - 10K miles and 20K miles. 10K miles a bit expensive but within limits ($270). 20K miles service outrageously expensive ($680) - front tires are pretty much gone after 20K miles, rear tires look like new. - mean dealer - implying I painted bumper myself and this is why it changed color. Worst experience of my life Overall - the car is surprisingly reliable, but my Mercedes dealer sucks. Will have to drive to Orlando for future service. 2018 update: - Mercedes is still as reliable and as much fun as it was at 20k miles. - minor warranty repairs - back pockets in front seats loose, supercapacitor that handles stop-and-go failed. - entertainment system touch pad works randomly, service unable to fix (or even to admit this issue exists) - squeaks and rattles from navigation screen - stop and go systems doesn't stop the engine anymore, will get this fixed at next service - still very satisifed with the car

I bought 2015 used C300 4matic with leather interior. I've had it for more than a year and bought it used. It now has 21k . Let me tell you it's a great car. No issues so far. I really enjoy driving it. The suspension is sweet and feels your riding on air in the comfort setting. It has this sport/sport+ shifting mode and man the pickup is fantastic even in the comfort mode. The economy mode is not recommended as it feels sluggish (I guess it turns the turbo off and feels like a 2L engine). It's built solid and gorgeous looking in and out. You will need premium gas though. Fuel economy is good for a luxury car. It's in the low thirties, not bad. Stability on corners is excellent. The engine can turn off on stop lights that take too long but you can turn this feature off. Navigation , blue tooth are all great.

Great car, with one fatal flaw

I really like just about everything about the car. I have the 4-cylinder Sport model, and despite having a seemingly modest 241 HP, that figure may be a conservative estimate by MB, and with all 273 lb/ft of torque available from 1,500 RPM on up, this car accelerates very well. Shifting can be a little rough at times, although it has seemed to be improving somewhat over time. The driving mode selector lets you get even a bit more response if you want it, but the standard "comfort" setting is more than adequate for everyday driving. The interior is considered best-in-class, and possibly among the best period, for good reason. Being a larger driver, I'm always concerned about interior room when looking at cars considered to be in the compact class, but that's not really an issue with the C300. There's plenty of headroom for taller drivers if you forego the optional sunroof. The power driver's seat will adjust as far back as you want it to go, and I really like the flat-bottomed steering wheel that comes with the Sport package. The car looks really sharp inside and out. I have the 19" AMG wheels, upgraded lighting package, and rear spoiler. Combined with the aforementioned premium interior, it looks like a much more expensive car than it is. The one problem I have with the vehicle - and it's a serious one - is that most examples of this car, including mine, have a terrible wind noise issue that is bad to start, and only gets worse over time. The sound with the window completely shut is basically the same as having your window cracked open half-an-inch in other cars, and at this point in mine is about equally loud. It has gotten to the point where it is so loud that it will overcome the sound system at moderate volumes on the freeway, forcing me to set the volume louder than I would otherwise be comfortable with. If MB acknowledged the problem and at least claimed they were working on a fix, it would make me feel better about it and possibly just consider it a maintenance item, but at least to this point, they have not, instead claiming it is just a characteristic of the vehicle. For that reason, I wouldn't recommend buying this car unless/until MB provides a fix. It's shame, because it's a great car otherwise. I haven't had it long enough yet to comment on reliability, maintenance, or resale value. Update - 07/16 - I brought my vehicle in for its first regularly scheduled maintenance and mentioned the wind noise issue. Without any further trouble or negotiation, my dealer acknowledged the issue and upgraded my front windows to the dual-pane version that does not exhibit the wind noise issue. It took a week in the shop, but the issue is fixed. So I'm a happy camper in that regard. If you have a C300 with the wind noise issue, definitely push it with your dealer. By this point, they've probably seen enough cases of it to accept your claim without much issue, but if they do push back, there are plenty of other examples you can use to support your case. My observed MPG is based on using "Sport" mode almost all of the time, and driving with a lead foot. The car is very quick, and it's hard to resist accelerating when the opportunity presents itself. So I can see how you could easily average over 30, but I'm happy with upper-20s while driving relatively aggressively.

Beautiful, but a bad "investment"

Beautiful car with a great interior design with superior materials. Performance on the road is first rate. Like all Mercedes, the command and navigation systems remains second class. If you get a C-Class do not get the sport package or AMG package unless you like buying tires and having regular alignment appointments. Six tires in my first year, and now the car is in the shop having the engine replaced. Resale value is deplorable.

Purchased Feb 2015. About 1700 miles. Great looks. Have almost every option. Lighting pkg a must. Drove both C300 and 400. Huge difference in power and driving fun with the 400. Really enjoying my Benz. However, a few negatives just for heads up for others. Right rear door handle broke. Bit of lag in tranny between 0-1500 rpms. No lights on air controls on dash. Can't control radio while Nav is on screen. Prefer auto mirrors go down when backing up. Lacks this option. Great hybrid car for power,comfort,sportyness, and performance. Didn't drive any of the competition because I wanted to try Benz. Look forward to great future with my pavement princess. UPDATE March 21 2017....I have about 30k miles now and still loving this car. Only issue I have had is a buzzing noise in my stereo speakers. But after numerous attempts the dealer finally figured out the issue. This is by far one if not the best car I have ever owned.
