Over rated Mercedes

It has excellent acceleration & is very comfortable to drive, but the interior of the car is poorly designed. The center console controls many functions of the car. But if you slightly touch or bump the round knob on the console, you can unintentionally suddenly change the radio station, or the navigation, or the phone settings. Basically, many of the controls for the car is located on the console. Also, the turn indicators & windshield wipers are on the same lever handle. Often you accidentally turn the wiper on when you wanted to turn left. The gear shift is located on the steering column which are not in many cars . I just found that the placement of some of these features were very frustrating to relearn. When I automatically reached for something I realized, uh oh, I just bumped my hand on something & now the radio station suddenly switches or I would grab one of the handles on the steering column & all of sudden the wipers would start. It's just annoying & for this reason, I would never get another Mercedes unless they change the interior design of these controls of the car.

2017 Mercedes Benz C43 Sedan

I love my new C43, its 4 days old and cant get enough. I dont really listen to music anymore so that I can hear the exhaust and engine noise(AMAZING!!!) Sounds like a mini Ferrari (coming from cousins who own many Ferrari's) The only thing I was shocked at was not having the touch pad and 8.3 inch screen as standard equipment, thats a must for a $62,000 car.

18,000 miles motor blew up

As above, a 62,000 dollar car the motor blows up. The new 9 speed transmission shifts hard and horribly painful.... The transmission needs to be in sports mode all the time just so the car is safe to drive (4 cylinder) I just traded it in for a BMW.... after 20 years of MBZ ownership. Bought the car used 2 months old with 200 miles on it...

One major flaw

The one big flaw on this car may seem petty to some, but to me it's a big deal. You cannot adjust the sun visor when using it on the side. For some ignorant reason, Mercedes removed the "sliding" feature which allowed one to move the visor forward or backward based on the sun's position. To me this is a safety issue and a big mistake. I hope they correct it or I will look for a different manufacturer next time.
