Best small luxury sport sedan, a few warts

2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 400 Sport 4MATIC 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 7A)

This is without a doubt the best C class ever made. It handles superbly, particularly one you ditch the run flat tires, is very powerful, rides in excellent comfort, plus, its beautiful to behold inside and out. If you want to "enhance" an already very powerful car even more you can have Renntech tune it for an additional 50 hp making the AMG version only necessary for strict race track duty. The downside of the fist year have been a few trips to the dealer; the wonderful sounding Burmester system died once, the air suspension suffered a broken sensor and finally the handsfree door handles also failed. The powertrain however has been bullet proof for 10k miles. European cars in general tend to have teething issues and this car has been no exception. The C400 has been replaced with the C450 which includes a factory AMG "tune" of the engine and transmission and another few extras. Hopefully the few electronic gremlins are also now better too.

Loud Piercing Noise Coming From Breaks

MBUSA knows about the issue that is out there with these cars and has no fix. Not only that, they gave us no make-good offer and expect us to drive the car with a gut wrenching loud piercing noise coming from the front of the car. Bad car, bad, company, bad service. DO NOT PURCHASE. They will not help you if this becomes your problem. Video of noise - http://youtu.be/7sIGZoxplpk

Incredible Certified Pre Owned Sedan!

We bought this car certified pre owned a few weeks ago, and so far, it is amazing! We paid less than half of the original sticker price from 3 years ago, and there were less than 20K miles on the car. The car has a few quirks, and getting to know the infotainment system took a few days, but after getting used to the vehicle's ergonomics, everything is great. The acceleration is fast and peppy for a 4-cylinder engine. I test drove the C400, as well as the 2016 C450, and I am not missing the extra horsepower during my everyday commute. If you are someone who is looking for a sporty, fun, luxurious, and practical every day sedan, this is THE CAR for the job. I test drove a 2017 Audi A4 2.0T, as well as a BMW 330i and 340i, and as nice as those vehicles are, they do not compare the sturdiness and luxuriousness of the Mercedes.

I leased my car in September from mercedes of brooklyn. 1 week later the main screen broke. In the shop for 5 days. Three weeks later front right headlight went out. Another 4 days in the shop. When drive in sport plus mode when gears shift vibration sounds from passenger side rear end. Was told its normal. Then two months no issues. Then the real fun began. Steering was off and making whining sounds. Needed a whole new power steering unit. Then the sunroof broke and wouldn't close from vented position. Brought the car in April 29 multiple conversations with service waiting for parts. Every week I was told a couple days more. 3 months later parts finally arrived. Now trying to get out of my lease all together and go back to infiniti.

Purchased C400 six months ago with interior, multimedia, panorama sunroof, blind spot, hands-free trunk packages; has been to the dealer exactly once to install plates. This vehicle is great for someone looking for a good balance between sportiness and luxury. Had driven the late model E-series a few times and, while it was moderately luxurious, always thought the handling was relatively stodgy and heavy-feeling, even with the V-8. The 400C is nearly as long and wide as an E, but feels far nimbler and quicker (in part because it weighs just shy of 3700 lbs.). Positives: power and handling, exterior styling and interior appointments, color combination (Palladium silver, cranberry red leather and open-pore black ash trim), blind spot assist and navigation/multi-media setup. Negatives: don't find the touch pad particularly intuitive, sport suspension can seem harsh on poor pavement, windshield profile creates some wind noise. On balance, though, very fun and comfortable drive -- and who needs the extra 30 horses in the MY16 C450?
