  Mercedes is back! - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By GermanCarFan - December 25 - 11:06 am

  This car is a tank. Its as solid as any car Ive owned, and that includes every make except Chrysler, including a couple BMWs, an Audi, and two E Class sedans. Its not a BMW and shouldnt be compared to one. Its more of a traditional car than a 3 series, which sits lower and feels more compact. The styling is crisp, and the C Class is the best looking Benz in my opinion. The interior takes a lot of hits in the car magazines. I dont understand why. Its executed beautifully, with lots of soft-touch surfaces and understated German solidity. Its not a Lexus, so dont expect baby bottom-soft leather and gaudy wood tones. If you buy a Mercedes, appreciate it for what it is.

  Pleasant Surprise - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By John Byrne - October 8 - 9:03 am

  I have been a Camry owner for 11 years and loved it. Decided to take a step up and looked at BMW, Lexus, Acura and Audi and decided on the C-300. It was a bit like Golidlox, the BMW too performance oriented, the Lexus to posh and soft, but found the MB to be pretty much in the middle and like the looks. Loved the ride and looking forward to seeing how it performs in the winter. I also knew that I would be sacrificing something on the mileage side, both with the premium fuel and the larger engine but the trade off has been a fair one. So far I think I made the right decision. The dealership couldnt have been better

  Best Car Ive even owned! - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By glennhl - May 26 - 7:33 am

  This is my second Mercedes. I had a 97 E320 which I liked a lot, but the new 2010 C300 is the best car Ive ever owned. It does everything very well. I dont know how Mercedes does it. It rides great, but it also handles great. It gets excellent fuel mileage, but it also has plenty of power. The IPOD and bluetooth work great and makes it a pleasure to drive the car. It is amazing how much car you can get for a car that only costs in the mid 30s.

  I was surprised with the performance of the car. I tested the BMW 325 and the 300 has better performance that the BMW.

  1 year, 10,000 miles, and very satisfied - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By autoaficion - December 7 - 6:24 am

  Ive just spent a year and 10,000 miles with my C300 Luxury, and I am happy to report that I am very satisfied. Instead of aiming for the sportiest model in the range, I decided to buy the Luxury model and dont regret that choice at all - this is an excellent small luxury car with enough sportiness to make it fun to drive without being a tiresome daily driver. With the premium 1 package and media package, it has everything I could want. The only downside: the friends and acquaintances who judge me for buying a Mercedes ("its pretentious"). In the past, I always chose something more value-priced and was not content long term. This car has what it takes to merit long-term ownership.

  Great style, features, and performance - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By 1stbenzowner - August 15 - 3:56 am

  Purchased our White/Almond c300 Sport 4Matic @ 1 month ago. Love the comfort, safety, features (especially the Bluetooth, Multimedia, and Ipod). Extremely quiet, solid ride and a head- turner. However, is it the quickest in the category? No. But we didnt purchase the car for its 0-60 quickness. You can get on the highway fine and pass when needed. We traded in a 30 Acura TLS, so its quite slow compared to that. In our opinion MB was an excellent mix of all aspects: safety, comfort, appearance inside and out, ergonomic appeal, performance. Test drove G37 (quick but hard & loud), A4, TL, IS250 AWD (our 2nd choice but backseat too small for longer than a 5 minutes.)Love it overall!

  Like a Rock - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By Frank - January 17 - 1:20 pm

  Extremely solid and seems to be very well built. Great looking especially with the AMG wheels. Interior function is very well thought out. Very solid performer with the sport package. Very new so need more time with the car.

  Solid small luxury car - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By RDMC300 - April 4 - 5:43 pm

  The car reviews seem to dismiss this model as a car not really for car lovers, but I really enjoy driving it. This car has strong acceleration, an excellent crisp transmission, amazing brakes, and the Michelin tires grip the road very well. The steering is light and precise, with just enough road feel. The suspension, even in the lux model, is as firm as I would want in a daily driver. With the premium package and multimedia package, this car addresses my every need and delights with its many thoughtful features. Every piece of this car feels quality, and the doors shut with a solid thunk.

  Sorry; Lincoln and Caddy - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By kkakear - February 8 - 6:50 pm

  I wanted to replace my Jaguar X-type with a Lincoln MKZ or Caddy CTS. The CTS was cramped and the MKZ , the spiritual successor to the X-type, is a major letdown, showing its economy car roots. On a whim, I stopped into Mercedes dealer and drove the C300. The Quartz blue color is stunning: it makes the car. The seats and driving position are most comfortable, the ride just super smooth, the steering sharp and defined,and the technology unbelievable. Mercedes puts money into the structure, not the bells and whistles. It is the most relaxed drive ever, and the insurance is actually less than the Jaguar. I wanted to buy American, but the Mercedes is sooo good.

  Love my manual C300! - 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
  By jaxdeac - July 16 - 1:44 am

  I bought this car used with 49k in June 12 Since then Ive put 16k on it with several long road trips. Until this body style came out, I wanted a BMW 325 as my next car. This is the first car Ive seen that compares with the Beemer in terms of styling. I love the looks of this car. I agree with some comments about the controls. Without the Nav system, you lose some features that other cars offer. However, these are minor issues that do not detract from the joy of driving this car. One negative is the different sized tires. Cant rotate and they wear out fast. I just replaced them. Well see how long they last. This car is great fun to drive and a head turner. No mechanical issues so far.
