#6 of 9 Driving C-300 Luxury & Sport by be325 Sep 07, 2007 (6:18 am)
Impressions as we all know are very personal so I describe mine. Last night we took Luxury (iridium Silver/Black MB-Tex) and Sport (Paladium Silver/Gray MB-Tex)for a short drive. We liked the wood in Luxury. The cabin was very quiet and we thought the ride was soft. Ours was loaded with all possible options (41k). Too many buttons on the dashboard but overall we thought it was a pleasant environment. The ride in Sport was slightly stiffer in our opinion. We liked Luxury and we would like to get one with metallic paint, AT and no other options. We liked the front grill on the Sport and asked salesperson if we could 'swap' at delivery. He was new and didn't know. We'll ask someone at the parts department. Now we have time to reflect if and when to get it. IS250 didn't do much for us but we didn't discard it yet.
#7 of 9 2008 MB C300 windshield wipers by hrussell1 Nov 07, 2007 (6:10 am)
Endure what may be a stupid question. I am driving a loaner new C300 sport off the lot while they try to find and fix a persistent squeal in my 280SLK. I am interested in the C300 but noticed yesterday that the windshield wipers seem way too small, wiping only about 50-60% of the windshield. I almost had to lower my head to see the cleaned area. Whats with this? Wrong blades? Poor design? So bad it would rule this car out for me. Thanks for your insights.

Replying to: hrussell1 (Nov 07, 2007 6:10 am) Wrong blades. The car is shipped with mini-blades that are supposed to be replaced at PDI time. Sounds like this one slipped through.   Our C300 Lux has some of the best wipers of any car we've owned - I really like the "frameless" free-form design - they do a great job.

Replying to: jrct9454 (Nov 07, 2007 12:44 pm) Thanks for responding. Spoke with the dealer who also said these were just for shipment and he should have replaced them. Glad to hear the right ones do such a great job! HR
