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).

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.

Great car with outstanding looks and features

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.

Mpg 34hwy 25city Repairs none Mileage 26,000 miles This is my second Mercedes both have been great cars, but this coupe is beautiful, a flowing piece of art, smooth and nimble on the road, the back seats are unusable accept for something you throw back there like a jacket or the empty can of Dr Pepper. The gearshift I don’t like, but driving it down the back roads all is forgiven lol. I really like this car..and if you’re single or a couple you will too, don’t get one if you have kids and this is your only transportation..get some kinda 4dr.

Beautiful interior

I own the 2017 coupe and the ride is harsher than the sedan but not that bad. I compared it to BMW 4 Series, Audi A4, Lexus ES and the Cadi ATS. I am picky about details and ended up with the C300 Coupe Edition 1 with the flat mango paint. The ride was quieter and the interior blew away the competition. If you are not conscious about taking extreme caution with you are and the paint, DO NOT buy the mango flat paint. It is durable but once you scratch or rub it too hard, it will shine some and then there is NO WAY to get it back to matte without basically painting the whole side of the car. The run flat tires are terrible. I do have some front end noise and not sure if it is from the tires or wheel bearings, only 25,000 miles. The interior is absolutely stunning and gas mileage is incredible. Some what of a fun car to drive and it gets quite a bit of attention. This is probably because of the matte finish. This is my first MB and a little concerned about future reliability but I'm really easy on my cars so hopefully it will be good to me. Still under warranty and the dealership is incredible.

Amazing to look at, just don’t touch anything

I bought a c300 coupe about a year ago and I just sold the car a few days ago, this car is so unbelievably beautiful and the interior matches, everyone I showed the car absolutely loved it, I bought mine when it was already 6 years old and had 60k miles so I wasn’t expecting it to be perfect, but I had gone from a 1999 Lexus ls400 before this that had over 150k miles and that car was built so solid and held up amazing in the 23 years, I cannot say the same for the c300, this car is unbelievable rough on any type of road, grinds going into reverse, shifts like it’s about rip its out apart, and rattles itself to pieces going over 65 miles per hour, if you touch any part of that interior with any amount of pressure it will crack and make a horrible noise. As comparison, I just replaced it with a used Kia soul and somehow it feels 10 times more well built, obviously the Kia soul is hideous but it’s at least well made and feels solid, other than the interior quality the car looked brand new even after I put another 15k miles on the car, I had to replace a piece of the interior that was this aluminum looking piece that was just plastic with a vinyl wrap, but from the heat started to peel off completely but I could cheaply replace it and it was fine.

Before one leases from Mercedes, check each of the individual items they sell to unsuspecting buyers like prepaid maintenance etc.
