"If the standard headlights and sound system were better, it would be a solid 9/10"
Bradley»SC»2016 Mercedes-Benz C-ClassPurchased Apr 2016|Verified
I love my Mercedes C 300 Sport. A couple of things: The standard headlights are SUBOPTIMAL. The standard sound system is just ok. I love the backup camera, but wish it also had beeping sonar. The steering is a bit light in comfort and feels a bit artificial (my guess is due to it being electric and not hydraulic maybe?). The handling is excellent, fuel economy is excellent. The power is pretty good. The interior is a 10/10. Excellent design, fit, and finish. TOP quality materials, and that includes the MBtex, which I actually prefer. If the standard headlights and sound system were better, it would be a solid 9/10.
I could not believe how nice the interior was in my new C 300. It is one of the best-designed and highest-quality interiors of any vehicle I have ever seen or owned.
"I purchased the C 300 because I believed in the myth that German engineering was excellent"
John»SC»2016 Mercedes-Benz C-ClassPurchased Sep 2016|Verified
I purchased the C 300 because I believed in the myth that German engineering was excellent. This is a myth. The engine is annoyingly noisy, which I was told after purchasing and driving the car, that the knocking noise is normal and not repairable. Are German engineers incapable of designing a quiet engine? The placement of the lever controls on the steering column are so poorly placed that cruise control and the directional light control are easily confused. The third problem was that the car was manufactured and sold with a bad differential. The car is a disappointment, and my experience adequately supports my assumption.

"Don't like the car doesn't have spare tire or nay tire changing tools"
Jose»FL»2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class|Purchased Sep 2016|Verified
1. I do not like the tires because of the run-flat tires are too stiff for a comfortable ride (not because BMW does it, doesn't mean they are the best and I don't like stiff rides). 2. The headlights aren't spread out on the road and doesn't reach far enough, means make the LED standard. 3. Don't need for the start/stop engine device, just make it optional to turn off permanently on all drives. 4. Don't like the ventilation system that cycles to open, even when I like it closed. 5. Don't like the car doesn't have spare tire or nay tire changing tools. 6. Don't like the headlights that can't be turn off and no off position on the headlight switch. 7. Put a dipstick on the automatic transmission and stop trying to bring customers in the dealerships to extract money from them by charging an arm and a leg with just for consultation repair or oil change. 8. The transmission hesitates on hard acceleration from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd and irritating. 9. No foglight to brighten the road when needed (during fogs or smoke areas).
Why don't you make the start/stop device optional or have a switch to turn it off permanently and so with the fresh air ventilation the same; that is, able to turn it closed permanently? Have the navigational system part of the sale, option to get only the LED headlights. Have a dipstick for the automatic transmission. Have a spare tire so as I have the option to buy regular inflated tires, not the semi run-flats that you put in. I saw the space for the spare tire at the trunk and there is no space for it on the tire well. Why have amber rear turn signal bulbs, when it isn't being used. If there is no spare tire, why doesn't Mercedes provide a puncture sealer and an air compressor, instead of being stranded on a deserted road at night? Why can't the car owner order power rear window and side window sunshade optional after sale service? Why is there a need to buy a panoramic sunroof with the rear car roof having light opening? Why is there no foglight for this C 300? Why is the headlight switch without an off position, when we want it off? Why not make all headlights for it with the eyebrow LED for daytime running light, while my model has a LED daytime running light below the main beams? Why not make an adjustable intermittent wipers switch together with rain-sensing wipers? Why not make a voice-activated telephone caller like my 2014 Volkswagen Passat TDI? Why not have some tire changing tool sets in case there is a need for it, including drivers (interchangeable tips), pliers and certain spanners, including some fuses? Try contacting me further down the line to put more improvements for the C-Class?
"The electronics, while initially daunting, give so many options to operate the infotainment system that you'll find one (or man..."
Alexander»TX»2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class|Purchased Jul 2016|Verified
Great acceleration despite the small engine. The stereo, while a marquis name, is not of the same quality; M-B's Harman Kardon and Lexus' ML are far superior. The electronics, while initially daunting, give so many options to operate the infotainment system that you'll find one (or many) that easily work for you.
I still have concerns about the quality after some years with Mercedes, but am hopeful they are on a track to improve. It seems, with Lexus' design stumble, they will be recovering market share quickly.
"Pickup and acceleration is excellent"
Anonymous»CA»2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class|Purchased Feb 2016|Verified
Vehicle corners like a dream. Pickup and acceleration is excellent. Handles beautifully. I love everything about my car.

Exceptional handling on curves. Great acceleration. Fun to drive.
