2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan Consumer Reviews

Nice car with some glitches
A lot of car. A lot more money. This is our fourth C300 and most likely, our last. Previously had a 2010 and a 2013, still have a 2015 I keep because that thing is a tank in the deepest snow, and well, it paid for. We bought a C300 with EVERY option except 19 inch wheels. The time to buy is end of month and end of year. Got a substantial discount for taking a floor model versus ordering like we usually do. Car is very quiet in side; tech is not too hard to learn since we’ve become accustomed to MB tech. We frequently get a warning on dashboard and linked phones” 12 volt starter battery low, run engine 20 minutes”. It’s a software glitch b/c we’ve yet to have an actual problem. The leather is beautiful albeit sweaty; the nav is unbelievable with the option to have it up on the huge center stack, the gauge cluster AND the heads-up display. Changeable customizable gauge cluster will even show tire temp/pressure, g forces, turbo boost, service due or it can just show speedo and clock. Acceleration is smooth, quick and with a pleasant growl and the engine cut-out at a traffic light is very smooth because of the integrated hybrid drive adapted from the Formula 1 technologies. The single most annoying thing is the touch pad on the lower center of the center stack. When you get in the car, it wants you to “sign in” so it can set your preferences. It’s a pain in the butt if running around town doing errands. I use my 2015 C300 for errands. The new body style has smaller door openings so you get in and out like a sports car. Sit your butt down and swing your legs in while duck so you don’t hit the back of your head. The best part of Benz ownership is all the compliments and attention we get. Isn’t that the whole point of a luxury car when a Toyota Camry can do most anything the C300 can for two thirds the money and much cheaper maintenance. One last thing: fuel economy. Normal driving is 32 mpg!!!! On the highway, turn on Distronic cruise and Agility Select to Economy and I get almost 39 mpg at 75 mph. Keep you hand on the wheel though, the steering wheel has capacitive touch so it knows when you cheating and the dashboard lights up in red. Amazing stuff. I am concerned about all the electronic stuff failing at some point but so far, so good at 8000 miles in 10 months. I don’t know where we go all the time but it seems like we go there a lot. (LOL).

C300 Sedan Better Everytime
This is my 3rd C 300 sedan 4matic and it just gets better and better with every generation. Smooth ride that is both quick and nimble from the start. Once most of the technology features are set they rarely need to be changed or adjusted as long as you set each driver up with their own name on the Home Screen. With most features being able to use voice activation things couldn’t be any easier to use. The German engineering keeps us coming back time after time.

C300 rear wheel drive
Very comfy, feels luxurious, no steering feel but direct. Easy to drive and power adequate. The interior impresses. Like the huge tablet screen!

Needs Software Update - Beware
4/26/24 - I have now had my 2024 C300 purchased from MB of Athens for 30 days . We are still unable to use the navigation system as intended. The major reason for us buying the vehicle was so my wife would have a car with a state of the art navigation system. We, in my opinion have a new vehicle that has a flawed navigation system. The system is unsafe, distracting, and confusing. When you have the navigation system and the entertainment system both on, you hear those two things at the same volume. In other vehicles I have owned, the entertainment system automatically mutes so you can hear navigation announcements. The situation was discovered, when my wife tried to drive home from the dealership after delivery of the car. She had a bad confusing experience which in turn leads to a terrible car buying experience. On the way home after delivery of the vehicle, she called the salesman. She complained that she could not get the system to work correctly. It’s my opinion, that both my wife and the salesman became frustrated with each other: the salesman in trying to overcome a flaw in the car, and my wife trying to understand what she was doing wrong. I also had a bad experience when I took the car in 3 days later to find out what was wrong with the system. The software flaw in the navigation and entertainment system has caused a contentious relationship with the dealership. Awaiting a software fix from MB.
