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.

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.

Hair a blowing in my C43 Cab

Beautiful car. Very good power for a v6. Convertible is so much fun. Like most the trunks are smaller. A owned a 2015 C400 so the engine is similar along with most interior and body aspects. The upgraded exaust is a must. Snap crackle and pop. In Sports plus the gas mileage is poor. I paid close to 80k with all the options. Thought about the 63s cab but the all wheel drive was a draw in case I need to drive in weather and especially snow.

It is gorgeous, stunning, thumbs up.... An admirer said “It is so sexy”... nothing not to like. It is overall a very good car, but, base engine can’t get out of its own way, must leave the transmission in Sport Plus just to be safe. My previous 2014 E350 gets the same mpg ..... very sad.... The 9 speed transmission is as graceful as a bull in a china shop... not smooth at all. Shifts hard. The rest of the car is all Mercedes. The quality of fit and finish is impeccable. The interior is a work of art. The lines, slopes contours are so attractive. The car really is incredible in that Mercedes way.... The car bases at $51,000, with vinyl interior, aka “MB-Tex”, and no navigation.... When one options up the base car, Package 2, upgraded wheels, metallic paint, amg package, and leather interior (1,600.00) now it’s $62,000.00. I bought it used with 200 miles, so a deep discount... My thoughts are Mercedes needs to go back to their roots “build it and they will come”. They are stuck just wanting to compete with everyone else. I’ve owned Mercedes for over 20 years, and I’m not certain there will be a next... Writing an update 18,500 miles into ownership, which will be over in 2 days.... when I pick up my new BMW... A piston “blew” at 18,000 miles ( motor rebuild), ride is horrible, interior starting to rattle, and just very disappointed in Mercedes Benz.... after 8 Mercedes (all new) since 1994 I’m leaving the brand... The positive is the warranty and dealer did a great job, no issues...
