Second time my car had to be towed
I researched this car for 7 months before I bought it and even though it is a whole new redesign and infotainment system I though to myself that maintaining a car like this one would be easy. Today is the second time this car had to be towed to a Mercedes Benz dealership within a 2 month period. I've driven the car to a destination, then returning back to the car the infotainment systems would turn on and every possible hazard lights would pop up on the dashboard and the car would not turn on. The SOS system would be deactivated, brakes, and any possible service features. The lights were one but noone was home as I"ve called this problems but no matter what i did the engine would never turn on. First time dealership said it needed a system update, now I'm waiting to see what the issue is this time. Ive researched other people testimonials and haven't found anyone else with this issues so Im not sure if its just my specific car, all I know that this is making me doubt if i should continue to hold on to this car.

Beautiful S Class baby!
Beautiful to look at and ride in, big displays are easy to read. Apple car play integrates well. Perfect highway cruiser. Hours of comfort for the passengers. Not sure why you would need an S Class with this car being so close.

Downsized from an E-Class
I waited a couple of months to get it due to the transportation difficulties but I did get what I wanted. To put it simply I can, the car is very advanced, and will take some time to learn all of its intricacies. Beyond the learning curve, I find it a pleasure to drive, knowing it's a very safe car with all of its safety features. Mind you, the extra features do add up quickly but at least to me, well worth it. What can I say, it's a very nice car, I'm happy with it, and if you're in the market for a compact luxury car, don't deny yourself a test drive.

First Time Mercedes Owner - now a fan for life!
We test drove several makes and models and I also own several makes and models of luxury vehicles. After spending weeks looking we finally settled on a Mercedes C300 4matic sedan. It is similar to the S-class in appearances and style but for a much more affordable price! We have it well optioned to include the AMG styling. The car handles like a dream! Steering is very responsive, ride is extremely comfortable and the gas mileage is where we wanted to get to - in the high 30s if you drive it like you care! It’s not a Tesla so it isn’t going to scream off the line but that’s not why you buy a C300, You buy it for the luxuriousness of a Mercedes and the German engineering that goes into it. I have a BMW, Lexus and Porche but this is now our favorite! If you are looking for Great comfort, classy style, German engineering, affordability and really decent gas mileage then this is the car for you!

Great with the AMG line package
The AMG line package really transformed this car from mediocre to enjoyable! Best all-around vehicle in its class (I drove the A4 and 330i), considering the comfort, drive and looks.

A letdown from the W204
I currently own a 2014 C300 4Matic, and it has been a fantastic car in almost every way. Last week I was given a 2021 loaner from the dealer while some maintenance was done on my car, and I have to say, it was a very mixed bag. I really, really hate the turbo 4 engine - it's noisy and seems gutless; I think they overly rely on the transmission to keep the driver in a reasonable power band, but the transmission seems to be over-thinking its mission, sometimes hanging onto revs way too long and clunking down gears without grace. The interior is, of course, very nice, and it all has a very Mercedes-like feeling until you start driving. I think it would be much easier to score this car higher if the price was more reasonable, though there is a lot of tech in the car. Ultimately, a 4 banger is a 4 banger, no matter how nice the packaging. My advice to used car shoppers: look long and hard at the 2012-2014 V6 C300 before you buy one of these. There are a lot of them around and they are built like tanks.

2023 C300 Disappointed
I loved this car and I wanted to keep loving this car... I purchased this car 4 months old off of the showroom floor. Never test drove from the truck to the showroom floor. Purchased it Dec 2022, started off amazing. Love all of the amenities, loved the the interior & exterior luxury design, loved the way it drove & handled on the highway, the quick pickup speed & just loved the overall car. Unfortunately, 10 months later I begin noticing my car seem to be using more gas than usual, jerking while at a complete stop w/the foot on the break and high idling over 2000 when you cut it on. I took the car to Mercedes Dealership near me and they have ran computer test & everything came back with no issues, no lights ever came on the dash. The dealership is having to open a case on the car to have a higher technician engineer to come in and take the car apart to locate the problem. Very disappointed and frustrated with this experience. I gave it 3 stars and not 2 stars because I do actually love the car and my rating is with hope that they will find and fix the problem and I can fall back in love with it and build my trust in it again..

Expected more from a Benz.
I've owned my brand-new C-Class for 10 months. During that time little annoying issues forced me to return to the dealer...rattles in the dash, squeaky seats, seatbelt not retracting, fingerprint identification not recognizing/responding. I expected more from a brand-new $52K Benz. Also, I never received a courtesy call from Mercedes at any time to confirm my satisfaction. I decided to trade it in on a Lexus and could not be happier...overall a better vehicle. And the salesman called and texted me to see if I were pleased or if I had any problems. Hmmm, a luxury car company that makes you feel special. What a concept.
