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.

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.

My first Mercedes Benz/AMG

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.
