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.

Not user friendly.
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.
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.
