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).

There has been a lot written about this car and shifting around town. My experience has not been bad. I noticed at 500 to 1000 miles the transmission smooths out at low speeds. I am comparing this to a C300 I previously had. Beyond that, a really nice car that has a more premium look and feel to it than the C300. Yes, it is a firmer ride and handles different than the C300, but that is what you are buying a sports sedan more than a luxury ride sedan.

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..

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

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.
