MB does not provide a tire jack and wrench with these new models because they come with run-flat tires. If this is your first MB, even though the concierge explains all the features to you when you pick up the car, it's hard to remember everything he/she says. Read your owner's manual and refer to the MB online vidoes on how to operate certain features of the car.

The Ultimate "Later In Life" Luxury Coupe

With so Many Mid Life Crisis Cliche' Coupes out there ~ Finally, the C300 fits the bill for Discerning Adult who has moved on beyond the Laughable Cliche' Coupes: Corvette, Camaro, Mustang, Challenger ~ Move over for the " Grown Up " in the Room. The 241 HP Turbo 4 won't give you whiplash, which helps in a Daily Drivable Luxury Coupe. Just enough Ooomph to keep you engaged, and a Look that says you've gotten to a point for the finer things in Life. If you need to carry more than 1 other person and loads of gear, get a 4 door SUV / CUV ~ they're out there and dominate the Road-scapes today. Classy Coupes, they're a rare and dying breed, and the C300 spews Class and Subtly states that is a Special Car on the road. Classic ~ Timeless ~ Pure Mercedes Coupe Status exudes from every angle and viewpoint from it's sexy exterior and especially from the well crafted interior over looking the long hood that appears to hiding a much larger power plant than the Gas Pump Friendly In Line 4. The 17 plus gallon Fuel Tank and 30 MPG Highway means that Fill Ups are far and few between compared to the Cliche' Gas Guzzling Counterparts. The AMG Line Trim Package and rear deck spoiler on my Iridium Silver adds just enough "Sport" to balance out the stately vibe the C300 / 4 Matic badged attractive hind flanks gives off. What a perfect blend of so many desirable traits wrapped up in one remarkable Coupe. Needless to say, I'm a Big Fan and so completely satisfied with every aspect of the C300 Coupe.

Steep learning curve for the instruments in general and navigation system in particular. Wish they had just used CarPlay, which has native smart phone integration. Programming the nav while driving is extremely distracting. Voice recognition is terrible. Lacks alternate route capability. No advice on traffic avoidance. I do like the freeway advices on services available at oncoming off ramps, but google maps or apple maps are much better. Headrests are superb -- all the other cars these days have head rests far too forward in response to recent federal standards, including the E-class, giving me a pain in the neck just sitting in the parking lot. But the seats are VERY firm. Park bench firm, and not comfortable for long drives. Steering and handling are very light and precise. Fold-down seats make for cavernous cargo capacity. I lost $10,000 in resale value the first year, which is ridiculous, as this car seems like it's built to last forever and is very high quality. After a little over two year, the car is worth half of what I paid for it new, even considering the $5,000 end of model year discount.

Bought this car to replace my 2014 W204 which was a good car but way behind in style and technology. This car comes standard with a lot of nice feature rich items for safety and technology. I am very impressed with the style of this car, it has definitely turns head especially in my coupe version. I have had zero problems so far with this car but that does not surprise me since the W204 had zero issues as well. I drive my cars pretty hard but it doesn't seem to phase the Benz. Overall I am very happy with the design and comfort of the interior as well as the features this car has to offer. I do wish they offered over the air software updates because the system is starting to age. Very reliable car though, and although it's no C63 or C43 it is plenty powerful for day to day use. Great car especially if you can get it used for a deal.
