16000 miles of fun

Had mine built from the factory on May 2015. With 16000 miles on it I have 70% tread life and 80% brake pad life. Not one issue since new. Been on some of the roughest roads in PA and NY and it tracks like an arrow. Not one software glitch. I've read some very negative reviews and either they got a used car or wasn't taking proper care. These cars will last a lifetime if properly taken care of. To keep a comfortable ride I stayed with the 17" wheels knowing I would be using run flats. Many hours of fun ahead.

Great AMG

In June I purchased a 2016 CPO Mercedes Benz C 450 AMG with about 12000 miles on it. I love the car and the acceleration is fantastic. I have owned several sports cars and convertibles including 2 Mazda Miatas, a Honda Del Sole V tech, 2 Mercedes Benz SLKs and a BMW Z4. I did enjoy all of those vehicles but none came close to proving me the power of this beast. The car is comfortable but if I had it to do again I do not think I would get the very fancy and beautiful AMG sports seats because they are very expensive at $2,500 extra but mostly because they are just too firm and I frequently alter the seat settings. I am much more comfortable than I was during the first few months since the seats have s many ways to alter both the position and the firmness of the seat backs, bottom etc. Although I am not a fast driver and have never had a speeding ticket,I do love the fact that when I merge onto a highway I do not have to worry if I will be able to accelerate quickly enough and when somebody is obnoxious and tries to prevent me from merging onto a highway, I typically can accelerate fairly quickly and comfortably merge into traffic . In short, for this old doctor who serves n the faculty of Harvard Med School and works at MGH and McLean, I am having a lot of fun and yet still drive in a fairly conservative fashion.

My first Mercedes and I am hooked....dealership was amazing etc etc....cannot complain....I see what they mean about in Economy Drive mode it may be considered a bit more sluggish BUT I am not a sports car driver so I don't need that to be better for any real good reason...love the interior...love........ I have the Sports Package and love it............ NOTE: I replaced the "run-flat" tires after almost a year....I do put mileage on the car higher than typical...but one tire was wearing thinh aleady and form the start the ride was rougher and noisier than I wanted...the new tires that are regular but good quality mad a HUGE difference in the comfort and noise level of the car.....I won't buy a car with the run flats ever again...I will negotiate that out of the deal if need be...........

Best Mercedes since the 2007 E-320 Blue Tec

I thought the 2007 E-320 Blue Tec I purchased nine years ago would never be topped but the new 2016 C-300 has changed my mind. We have had it almost two years and it is a true winner. It has everything you could ask for with economy, style, comfort, and the technology is great. The Distronic plus drives the car on the highway by itself, the LED lighting with corner tuning works well and the other high tech systems including the navagation, are really something although it requires some study of the manual. This one looks like a keeper.
