Article comments for First Drive: 2008 Mercedes-Benz C350 Sport - As ominous as it looks, this smooth stretch of winding road is the perfect place to wring out the new 2008 Mercedes-Benz C350 Sport. Fully redesigned this year, this car is aimed directly at the BMW 3 Series, just like nearly every other C-Class before it. (more)

#16 of 19 My C 300 by derspeed Jan 06, 2008 (2:20 pm)
I got a C 300 sport, after careful research. The 350 only comes in auto, as we all know. I opted for the manual because, on the test drive, it was just more fun and controllable to me. The car had to be ordered with the options and colors I wanted with the manual tranny because there was not one in the entire country. It was worth the wait. I am not sure why the A4 is always touted as a competitor in this class. It's a nice car, but a toy compared to the MB and BMW. And yes, I, and family members, have owned a few A4s. Due to the many disappointments, I am not sure I'll ever go back to Audi. I may be suprficial too, because when I saw the Benz, I knew I was getting it.
#17 of 19 Mercedes C350 Sport in Snow by michael68 Jan 11, 2008 (8:49 pm)
I just purchased a 2008 Mercedes C350 Sport which is scheduled to arrive in late March. I'm wondering how the car will perform in the snow since it is rear wheel drive. For next winter on Long Island, I'm hoping a good set of snow tires (I heard Blizzaks are the ones to get) will be sufficient for the snow & ice.. has anybody had any experience with this? Any advice or comments?

The new SLK 350 is coming out in May, 2008 with its output boosted to 305bhp. Has anyone heard if the C350 Sport will be getting that same boost in power for 2009, and if so when it will appear?

I just received my C350 Sport yesterday. I went for a spin last night and I took it to 120mph and it wanted to go faster. But I ran out of road. There are a few items that MB could have done better, like offer the same features that they do in Canada. But overall I am very pleased. By the time my lease is up the new E-class will be out and I will likely go for the E-Class.
