Best of both worlds

2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 300 4MATIC 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
48 of 52 people found this review helpful

I did some pretty extensive research in this class, including the 330i xdrive and A4. After taking each of them on extensive test drives, I decided on the C300 4MATIC with the AMG line. I was very close to taking a great deal on the 3 Series, but in my heart I knew I liked the Mercedes more. It's much smoother, better built, and has better technology. I felt like the 330i's ride was a little too busy for me. It always begged me to drive fast, which may have been great in my 20s, but now I'm "more mature" haha. The C300 gives me the luxury all the time and the sportiness when I want it. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

DO NOT BUY…Worse car I’ve ever bought

2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 300 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 9A)

At 4,000 miles it left me stranded. The car locked up, shut down and all the lights came on. They had to come get it on a flat bed and after 3 days told me pretty much the mother board died and they had to reset and program stuff. I get the car back and between 5000 and 9000 bought the car back several times because the center pad kept blacking out, car seats would stop working and I would have to turn car off and on at a traffic light or when I park for them to start moving again. I’ve had to have them fix that issue 3 times already. Then at 10k miles my fuel pump broke and car stranded me again. They replaced the fuel pump and gave me a car back that sounds like a diesel truck now. The car slightly trembles persistently now when parked or sitting at a light. Then before 11k miles the charging station stopped working and it had to be replaced. Between 10k and 14k miles I’ve taken it back because of how this car was left sounding and I started having problems with my sunroof opening. I’ve provided these guys videos of the issues and today I picked it up for the 6th time and they tell me again there’s nothing major wrong with the car and that these cars sound like this and they couldn’t replicate any of the issues; despise seeing the videos I’ve sent them.They insist that I just never heard it before like that and that I just simply started noticing after the fuel pump replacement. They had my car for SEVEN days this time and when I get in the car I notice my mileage was the same as when I dropped off. I go back and speak to the Director of the service department who insists they had no need the test drive the car to replicate any of the issues I have when driving. I now just retained a lemon law attorney who immediately took the case. DO NOT BUY THESE CARS,

Test drove a 2021 BMW 330i RWD & the 2021 MB C300 RWD and immediately noticed the sport Vs luxury focus (BMW was sport oriented & the MB was more luxury oriented). Being that we desired a smoother ride & a quiet interior, we went with the MB C300 and are happy with the decision. It’s not the fastest small luxury sedan out there and for me that’s ok. The quality is top-notch. The doors close solidly and plastic components on the door panels do not rattle. The aluminum trim on the Burmester speaker grilles feels great to the touch. While the small finger-tip sized touch pads on the steering wheel feel a bit cheap, they do respond quickly to inputs so navigating gauge cluster menus or infotainment screen choices is quick and easy. I wish MB offered the infotainment screen with both controller + touch-screen (as did the BMW), but the controller wheel (or steering wheel touch pads) work fine. Fuel economy so far (18k miles) is averaging around 26mpg for combined city/highway. With a large fuel tank the range is most excellent. Super pleased and really like the quality & quiet interior, great sound system and the fuel economy. The factory Continental tires are wearing normally but are loud - it’s the only noise we hear on the highway (no wind noise).

Dash Goes Blank after 5000 miles

Disappointed Buyer in St Pete, 02/16/2023
2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 300 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
20 of 23 people found this review helpful

I am so disappointed this was my 4th Mercedes Benz. I waited 9 months for my custom made Benz C300 Cabriolet and after only 5000 miles the dash computers went blank and made the car underivable. I have been without my car for 8 weeks now. They were going to reprogram the computers but after 3 weeks they told me they had to order a whole new dash. They say the dash was shipped 1/26/23 but there is not tracking number, very suspicious. It took 3 weeks for Hona, Executive Referral Manager to finally reach me by phone and now they say if I want to declare it a lemon I may want to seek legal council; which I may do in order to get all my money back and damages. Oh by the way, and I’m still paying $1200/mo for a car I can’t drive. They say it’s the Chinese Chip maker and they had one plant in Germany that had major problems. I am thinking I need to buy a used car, pre-Covid. Wish I had someone on my side to help me here. The customer service at the dealership is good but they don’t know anything about when the parts will be here. And the followup with the delivery is every two weeks.

800 miles and car wouldn't start. 30 minutes later, no problem. Main screen has scrambled 3 times first 4 months. Auto brake has engaged, terrifyingly, 4 times randomly. Check engine light has come and gone and driver's side window will not always go up. Cannot replicate at dealership

We purchased our 2022 C300 in August 2022 (with 9 miles) with all the new bells and whistles, big center screen, lights throughout, 360 cameras, and so on. Everything. First long drive was going to be to California, Thanksgiving. Woke up at 0500 went to get 91 octane gas. Car would not turn on.... Blacked out. Called a tow, stuck for an hour. Dealer closed, so had to wait until following week. They "updated" the computer. Wife was driving and got warning lights on, sensor failures. Took car in and they cleared the warning light and found no issues. Car now had a hiccup at idle every 5 seconds. Took it in, they checked piston pressure, fuel injectors, computer told us it was "bad gas". They filled it with "good gas." Took car home, next week "warning" vehicle in an accident light, parking sensor failures and other warning light in red on dash. Took car in, asked us "what gas did we put in it?" We didn't put gas, it's still full of thier "good gas." Kept the car again and now told us they "updated the computer again." Can't drive the car without worrying its going to leave us. Worst new car purchase ever.

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!

I made the huge mistake of switching to Mercedes. I have had Lexus, BMW, Infiniti, Nissan, Range Rover - you know it - I have driven it. My first Mercedes and I am ABSOLUTELY disappointed. From the first week I had this car it has been nothing but glitches and issues. The first week I had the car the screen malfunctioned had to bring it in. Several weeks later the ac wasn’t blowing cold air, had to bring it in. Today I had to travel about 1.30 to an important appointment and the check engine light started flashing and the car started misfiring on the highway !! I had to pull over and call Mercedes and they offered to send me a tow but informed me that to tow to a closer dealership to my home WOULD COST ME A FEE!!! Absolutely disgusting my Mercedes absolute embarrassment and disgrace. Terrible customer service. Never any courtesy cars available. I had to pay almost $100 for Uber to get home from the dealership because the “link” they sent me for Uber voucher didn’t even work !! Never have I ever had an issue with any vehicle and for a 2023 Mercedes it is just point blank embarrassing. Can’t wait to get rid of this junk box of a car.

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.

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.

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!

A letdown from the W204

ADW, 05/14/2021
2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 300 4MATIC 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

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.

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..

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.

There is too much plastic in this car. The interior was peeling off after a while. I am very disappointed and unhappy with this car. Before buying it, I read so many negative comments about it but I did not pay attention and now I realized that others were right about this car. Very unreliable piece of plastic.

The electronics are not user friendly with so many duplicated controls and a manual which is almost incomprehensible. Trying to use and setup the navigation quite beyond me. For instance when selecting destination on all my other navigation programs the first thing that pops up is Home but not on this over complicated thing the Home button is hidden several pages away. The car is generally over complicated with German over complicated controls not user friendly.

I was really excited about the new C43 as an upgrade to my AMG A35. The problems started less than a week after delivery. There is a major engine issue which is not being disclosed. I have only had my car available for less than a month since purchase in early November. They replaced my engine once and now say they need to replace it again. Thankfully Mercedes is cancelling my lease and I’m looking for another brand. Very disappointed as I’ve had Mercedes for several years and been happy until now. IGNORE MODEL BELOW, it is an inline 4 cylinder new engine which is the problem.

The Mercedes C-300 is a very beautiful and luxury car. However I do have concerns about the quality. First off, the infotainment had to be corrected after just several days of purchasing the car. Who has to take the car in for maintenance after a week? Second the dealership knew I purchased car out of town, so why am I being charged for mileage when they keep my car for an entire day? I was never treated this way when I purchased my BMW, excellent cuatomer service. Shame on you Mercedes.

One word: smooth

I bought the 2023 mb c300 to replace my 2011 c300 sport. So, same car, 12 years newer. In 2011, I reviewed 8 cars, narrowed it down to 3 and couldn’t get past the lines and looks of the mb in Paladium silver and light tan interior. It was my dream car. While not a rocket, is had ample power, smooth shifting and I enjoyed driving it anytime I got in the car. I get attached to my vehicles ! I thought it handled very well ( not big on braking around corners if you don’t have to ) but felt every bump in the road with the low profile sidewalk tires and sport suspension. Surprisingly, it was a beast in the snow and never had problems in bad weather even with just the sport tires. Over the years, I would take a loaner from the dealer when in for service so I drove the newer models of the c class and mostly still liked mine better, especially the console gear shift versus the turn signal-like shifter on the new models. I liked being able to “tap down” the shifter to reduce speed down long hills and always felt like in complete control. It also was a very easy car to drive which is something car manufacturers rarely talk about. The speedometer goes up to 160 mph, but even if you get up to 80 mph on an interstate, the needle is only pointing straight up, halfway to the max. I don’t want to drive over 100 mph and think a max of 100 mph on the speedometer would be a very helpful, although “un macho” safety improvement. Just saying! So how does the 2023 compare ? Smoother power: 255 hp vs. 238 Smoother shifting: the 9 speed is fluid and seems to shift just when needed even better than the 2011, but the paddle shifters on the steering wheel don’t give the same feel with the electronic shifting compared to the old style gear feel. Smoother ride: the 2023 has a heavier car feel and nicer ride. Front seat has a nice fit feel and the steering wheel with my AMG package has a luxury/sporty feel and makes me want to drive with both hands on the wheel. Smoother ambiance with the interior lighting. While not really important, it gives a very classy feel when in the car in low light. Smoother sound: while the 2011 sound system had a somewhat “tinny” sound, the Burmeister system in the 2023 is better than my home stereo and with the Apple play screen it is like being in a concert hall. This is something important to me, especially on longer trips, and just adds to the overall driving pleasure. I paid about $39000 in 2011 and the new c300 was about $55000 with my options in 2023. So, $16000 more in 12 years. Worth it ? So far, I am very satisfied with my choice and time will tell.

We bought our vehicle Certified Pre Owned. We had never purchased a used car before but this one looked brand new and was loaded with everything and more ! It was only a year old and had been purchased new at the same dealership where we bought it. I love the marina blue top on the white sport package body! You cannot go wrong with a Mercedes-Benz C-Class. However, next year they plan to merge the C-Class and E-Class cabriolets to only sell 1 convertible model. We bought now because we did not want that bigger engine or price tag.

Purchased a CPO C300 4-Matic with AMG Line package. I love everything about it except the transmission. Why have a "Sport Plus" mode if you don't have transmission tuning to go along with it? It should hold the gears longer especially in manual mode using the paddle shifters. It's a shame because the handling is noteworthy and will certainly reward when you want to play. Otherwise the performance of the transmission is smooth and efficient when driving normally. In mixed driving MPG's are around 36. Highest was 39 and lowest has been 28. Purchased the car with 12k miles. I now have 17k and no issues thus far.

We just traded our 2013 SL550 in on this. It was our loaner car from the dealership and we fell in love with it so we bought it. The color is almost the same as what we had, pearl white. It has the cranberry interior which is beautiful. The 10 years difference in technology is amazing. Everything is so easy to use whether from the steering wheel or the touch pads. It has some of the AMG upgrades including interior, wheels, rear spoiler, etc. which we love. The trunk is huge in comparison to our SL550. We loved having the sun roof open while driving to Vegas recently. Much quieter than the convertable top being down. The handling is amazing especially in Sport mode. The car is smooth and quiet on the road and a perfect road trip or around town car. I love all the safety features and the large screen as well. The stereo is amazing too. We have owned 7 Mercedes in the last 30 years and this one is my favorite one.

My 2023 C300 4Matic is a dream to drive and to ride in. A lot of people complain about the technology but I just set mine and forget it before I start driving, the same thing I would do in any car. Technology is mainly dangerous due to drivers paying too much attention to it than they should at inopportune times, and this car is no exception to that. I wish the mileage was a little better but on longer trips I get about 34mpg. The acceleration in this car is fantastic and the automatic transmission is smooth as silk. I also bought a dealer loaner with just under 5000 miles and got about $9500 off sticker price. An all around great purchase.

So far it drives very well. However, it’s still too early to give a comprehensive evaluation.

Nothing wrong with the car except parts are not to be had at this time. I was told could be 6 months to a year if you would need certain parts for new car
