Mixed bag
I had a 2022 C300 RWD in LA as a Turo rental for a one-week trip, and put a lot of miles on it, both city and highway. I'll start with the positives: -Incredibly fuel efficient for the size and power -Ultra smooth start/stop - was truly seamless and not at all annoying like those systems can be -Interior and exterior styling was attractive -Ride was smooth over small bumps, smothering them Mixed: -Handling was just ok - the steering felt kind of lethargic and it didn't feel like it would like to be hustled around corners...it was capable, but didn't feel willing -While the interior looked nice at first, upon interacting with more items (turn signal stalks, transmission lever and some plastics lower on the dash), you could feel cost-cutting The bad: -The infotainment, while at first looking cool with such a large screen, was unintuitive and a pain to use. The touchscreen climate control was also annoying. When shifting into drive after reversing out, the rear camera would continue for another minute (maybe there was a fix in the settings, but again, unintuitive and overly complex). -Ride was surprisingly harsh over larger, sharper bumps. This car had stock 18" wheels, and my passengers and I were surprised at the sound and harshness over LA's admittedly bad road surfaces. I'm not sure if the tires were runflats, but if they were, that's the first thing I'd change -For a luxury car with only 8k miles, there were more squeaks and rattles than I expected. -Lacked some features standard on a Corolla - specifically radar cruise control (or Distronic in MB terms) -Just didn't feel as special as I expected

Great car with a lot of flaws and issues
I bought a brand new C300 2021 in July 2021. Due to the shortage, I purchased the car while it was in transit. But it came with a lot of problems; According to the service people, the left-side computer was totally disconnected, plus the chrome trim at the back was not assembled properly. The MB service told me it's not covered by the warranty and that it's a $700 job. Long story short, I love the car but it's been a negative experience and big disappointment with Mercedes Benz. The conclusion I make after the experience seems to be that buyers should take an expert/mechanic to inspect the car accurately before buying. Otherwise, they might buy a flawed car for which Mercedes will not take responsibility after it's sold if it's not included in the warranty. Lesson learned; next time, if I choose to buy a Mercedes, I'll bring my mechanic.

Luxury that kicks up dust
2021 AMG C43 Coupe, Silver/red interior with Night package Performance is outstanding! Handles tight around corners and it is so smooth you don’t feel you are zipping along at 75 mph. The first time I test drove it I felt like I slid into the seat like butter. The finery of interior materials is exceptional and the controls are advanced technically. A sedan that makes me feel at 50 like a soon-to-be retiree with the luxury and a guilty pleasured teenager occasionally stepping on the gas for people to eat my dust! Simply, impeccable!

"Best" Mercedes to own
Would I recommend this vehicle, no. I was told that this was the "best" vehicle to own in the Mercedes-Benz line up and that has definitely failed to be accurate. After about 8 months of owning the vehicle, I stated to have engine turn over issues. I would click the start/stop button and it would sometimes turn over and sometimes fail to do so. I was told that by service advisors and the service manager that nothing could be done if it did not happen in the dealership service center or in front of them. Although I had video footage of what the vehicle was doing. At one point while making a left hand turn on a flashing yellow, the accelerator failed mid turn, causing me to almost cause an accident while making the turn in front of an on coming vehicle at 5 mph. Pedestrians thought that I was doing it on purpose. I pulled over, turned the vehicle off and then back on. The accelerator worked fine after that. I took it back in and was told that there was no recalls or complaints, so they could not do anything about it. On 10/20/2022, I was driving down the freeway, when I went to accelerate and at that moment the vehicle began to stutter/shake uncontrollably. After that, any time the accelerator was pressed it would shutter/shake. My vehicle was towed to a dealership. Come to find out, cylinder one was coding. They found out that the fuel injector was stuck open. According to the service advisor, that issue was causing a misfire. I was told that they replaced the fuel injector and the spark plug. According to the vehicle report I was given, 1 reman injector, 4 TS spring F In, 1 spark plug, and there was a core return (not sure what that means).

C300 Cabrio
Awesome performance for a 4 cylinder. Great technology and comfort options. White with saddle brown leather and dark brown soft top looks classy. The details and quality of the vehicle is great.
