Best in Class

2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 300 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7A)
7 of 11 people found this review helpful
Best in class comfort and quality. 0-60 is adequate, but the C450 has you covered if you need more. Roomy backseat good for 2 car seats. Very comfortable/adjustable driver's seats. Panorama roof is gorgeous but expensive. Black Ash wood is the way to go. Distronic Plus is great, second only to Tesla's Autopilot. Automatic Emergency braking is standard, unseen in this segment. Got 15% off the sticker price but it required a good deal of effort and communicating with 4 dealerships.

Amazing car but HORRIBLE rims and tires

I LOVE the way this car drives but the quality of the wheels and tires are something you would expect from a Yugo as I've had to replace 10 rims and 6 tires in 2 years. The car drives like a beast and I love driving it every day. The interior is comportable with high quality materials though their entertainment technology could use some updating. THE WORST thing about this car by far is the quality of the wheels and tires. I have owned this car two two years and it has been in the shop every 6 weeks of less because one of the rims has cracked or one of the tired has gone bad or had a blow out. These rims are $1500 a piece so why in the world they crack from normal driving, not hitting pot holes or doing anything even slightly rough, is absolutely insane. On a regular basis I get in the car in the morning to find the tire pressure light on and have to take it back to the dealership to get it fixed. The only saving grace is that I have the wheel and tire insureance on the car but will probably sell the car when that expires because the cost just won't be worth it. When the rims don't crack then the run flat ties keep getting 'bubbles' which cause them to go flat or even worse blow out the side wall when you are driving. Again for $300 a tires I would think they would last longer than 3 months before having to get replaced again. The worst part is that Mercedes has known about this problem for years since it happens on all their C and E class cars yet they don't fix it. I love the car but this problem is going to drive me to find a different brand when the warranty expires on this one.

This car is fun to drive, plenty pep, gives me an average of 27 mpg in mixed driving. The ride is good on smooth surfaces, gets choppy on rough surfaces. Bottom line, I'm very pleased with my decision to purchase the C300 sedan

NO TOUCHLESS CAR WASHES! That's in the manual believe it or not. Also when shopping look for one that has the air suspension if you are picking the sport model, a backup cam (not standard equipment), and the upgraded sound, trust me on that one! How do you tell a sport model? Because the emblem is flush on the hood. Also make sure yours has the ability to work with the Mercedes app for remote start. They don't have it built into the key and aftermarket shops won't touch them! If you can't find one it's not a deal breaker, the heated seats and wheel make up for it. Now I have driven a lot of cars/trucks in the snow and this one is probably the most sure footed (Won't do a donut in snow btw). For those who grew up learning to drive on RWD cars you will appreciate that it's bias and doesn't understeer like FWDs. You can hear the air dam plowing snow over 6 inches though. Mine doesn't have the air suspension and you can tell when it's cold! The interior is fantastic, the wheel to navigate takes some getting used to but it does well once you do. The sunroof does let in a lot of light but I haven't been able to test the wind noise. After all it's Jan in Nebraska. What it does do is take some of the headroom away in the back seat. Safety wise, the collision warning comes on at weird times. For example don't change lanes to get one closer to a semi, it will beep. Narrow neighborhood streets, beep. Turning left at a stop sign with someone else turning right...you guessed it, beep. I have only felt it try to brake on me one time though. The car does feel solid and well built and you feel like you are driving a 50k car not like some of the competitors where it's just.....ZZZZZ. On dry pavement rolling the drive mode to sport+ is fun to horse around but remember it's a German car so 60 MPH in town and 80+ on the highway is no sweat even for that 4 cyl. It's pretty quiet inside so don't expect road noise to give it away and it will get you in trouble. Advice here especially if you are prone to do that, buy silver, it's pretty low profile! In snow again I can't say enough about it as it leaps from a stop even driving normal. In town driving normally I have averaged 24.5 on my first 500 miles which is not bad since it's about 80% city driving. The 200 mile road trip returned about 28.5 but that was at 80+ lol. Overall impressions, it's an amazing car especially for someone entering the luxury class where you still have to drive yourself. There are things I wished it had on it but that's a reason for next time. No rattles, quiet cabin, and decent MPG for such a heavy car for a sub 300 HP 4 banger. Would I recommend it, absolutely. Especially if your friends drive Beemers.
