Replying to: falvor88 (Sep 05, 2007 11:50 am) now the c300 4matic is at $35,215 MSRP. I guess it was too good to be true! |

Hi. I've never owned MB or any German car for that matter and always driven Japanese. New C-class caught my eye by offering manual transmission and decent engine for decent price. I've looked at Volvo S40 (did not like the interior), BMW328 (like everything but with all options it is more expensive than C-class) and Audi A4 (dismissed based on reliability record). I asked trusted mechanic about MB and he said that post 2000 models are quite reliable. What is owners experience? Is 2008 model expected to be reliable? Did Chrysler involvement do anything bad to the MB? Thanks Leon |

What are the differences between C300 sport/automatic vs. luxury? Any infos are very appreciated. Thanks

I wonder how the new C's are selling? I have yet to see one (Sport or Luxury) on the road. When we visited M-B showroom some time ago, most of the cars there were not available for a test drive. We were told that these cars were ordered long time ago and were waiting for new owners. Those who bought the new C, aren't sharing much, unless I am in the wrong posting category. Also, I am counting that reliability of the C has improved.

Replying to: be325 (Sep 19, 2007 5:55 am) I have been researching and found that they have studied this car for 7 years and I suggest before you make a decision, you would really have to check options and accessories (stock) which comes with the C300 or C350. After looking at all the options and all and having to add the features like automatic transmission even on the C300 luxury the price did not differ much for a C350 which made me change my mind, though I really did not need the extra horsepower on the C350 and even did not like the choices on leather and the black maple wood trimming in the interior. I was also surprised that for a high end brand car, the manufactures are not willing to take any special orders as far as changing color of leather seats or wood trimmings for the C350. Hope this helps you and yes they are selling which is why most dealers are selling at MSRP without any discounts. What state are you from? Every dealer can locate the car for you they have access to the nationwide inventory of MB so am sure they can work something out if you wanted the car and are willing to pay the bucks. Good luck!

Replying to: jthemba (Sep 05, 2007 8:31 am) Interior - CTS wins Exterior - both have appeal Seating - CTS for sure Ride - Benz Engine - Benz - CTS too noisy Options - CTS but it increases the price over the C. Handling - Drove FE3 CTS suspension. Not as good as I expected. I drove both a luxury and sport C300. Both handled well with the Sport very flat in corners. Steering feel - Benz Panoramic sunroof - Benz Overall value - Benz Value proposition and feel would steer me towards the C300. Hope this helps.
