I bought the car with run flat tires, as their is not space for a spare tire. the tires are a really rough ride and they "pop" easily over the least little bump. 2017 driver front tire AND WHEEL replaced due to hitting a bump in the road, car had less than 1500 miles on it. 2018 passenger front tire replaced hit a bump on the freeway only 4000 miles on car 2019 rear driver side tire, wheel and tire had to be replaced 7500 miles on car, as you can see the car was not driven very much, as I never felt secure on these tires. so in May of 2020 I replaced all 4 run flat tires with 4 of the best Michelin I could find for the car. car now has a very smooth ride.

A Real Treat!

C300 Coupe with Brilliant Blue on 19" wheels is a real treat! Wish they had a performance exhaust option for this 2.0 Liter turbo though (does for CLA). The interior is just perfect and despite having backseats do not fool yourself; only a child is getting back there. Burmester stereo is great and easily drowns out low road noise. The Dynamic Selection is really good, especially using Sport + on back rural roads where the car comes alive. Very stable over high speeds....decent shifts with paddle shifters too. At times I do wish I sprung for the V6 (C43) but this 4 banger is not bad at all and keeps fuel costs down. Right now fuel (93 OCT) runs about $41 a tank and I gas up weekly (work commute).

Absolute pleasure to drive

Traded in my 2014 C250 coupe. This is my second C300 sedan. Wow! This car is so nice to drive. Quiet, composed, sporty when you want it to be. I've gotten so many compliments on how beautiful the car is. I didn't get the larger wheels because I wanted the ride to be as soft as possible. Added the $5000 package and it has all the luxury i need. Seats are extremely comfortable, Steering is concise and light. Gear shifts using the paddles are immediate. Fuel economy is pretty good. Averaging 27 mpg combined. If I had one complaint it would be the back seats. They are a bit uncomfortable. Sit a an odd angle and I didn't really feel comfortable in them. Not that I care, really. It's all about the driver seat and that is superb!

2017 C 300 Cabriolet

2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 300 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

We test drove many convertibles and decided that the Merc would fit our lifestyle best of cruising in luxury with the options to steer or accelerate quickly when needed. The dealership experience was great and the dealer's representatives were very helpful. We looked online nationally for a specific color and trim in a sport model that included warranty on a low mileage late model car. Torque on the 4 cylinder turbo is excellent as we were accustomed to driving a 2004 Nissan 350z with 280+ hp. The electronics require some study but the learning is quick and the controls are intuitive. This vehicle had the sport trim with 19 AMG wheels and most of the options but did not include Distronic , Park Assistance, which we would have happily paid for but could not find in our color....... I suggest that a potential buyer view the Carfax carefully for clear title and repairs ....... Ask lots of questions and confirm with Mercedes Customer Service.
