This is a honest review of a C300, which I like quite a bit. Very nice features, but the car has some areas that may need attention. This may help you in your purchase decision.

The C Klasse comes equipped with run flats, that is why the ride quality of not good. I recommend a set of "normal" tires for those who are interested in getting a C Klasse or really any German Luxury Auto. Greetings from Switzerland.

The C-Class' parking brake has an auto-release function when you put the car in D and push on the accelerator pedal.

You don't have to manual release the parking brake. As soon as you start to drive (forward or backward, it will release)

Yep, I'm glad I was doing it wrong, otherwise its just so much more upsetting. LOL wish the dealership would have explained but I guess they thought I was competent. Ha!

If you put it in sport, the start stop system automatically switch off... and the e-brake releases automatically if you put it in drive en you hit the accelerator.

Ps the car also sets the parking brake after you set it in p, and turn off the ignition.

This was a nice review and you touched upon many aspects which I've noticed when I test drove it. I think the noise and discomfort is due to using run flat tires which make a big difference. Also the engine noise is louder and more like a VW since Mercedes are now using GDI ( gas direct injection) which causes the engine to tick and be louder. How was the E class compared to this c class?
@fcimports98237 жыл бұрын
leo leo thanks sir! The engine note was much lower, but the steering was the issue. The E-class was overly assisted and inconsistent when coming to a stop and turning, especially in slow turns. The wheel just became overly too easy and didn't inspire confidence. There was no meat or resistance. it just felt like and unscale Camery. Very nice, but very far from sporty.

@CabrioDriving8 жыл бұрын
hmm maybe this version doesn't have it. My father had 2014 C200 and it had S+ mode. So big difference. Gear chaning was very rough, brutal I would say, but great acceleration. Less comfort, but great acceleration. Maybe you could find it in the menu somewhere? Maybe you need to have Drive Dynamic Package?
@fcimports98238 жыл бұрын
yeah the harsh shifts and great acceleration in manual mode remind me of my 550 in manual mode. Down-shifts are definitely not blipped. Yeah maybe if I had more time with it I could have found the menu. I will say I like the idea of extra stuff being available that I can't find in the first 5 minutes. Took me a month before I realized that I could close my trunk automatically from inside the car on my 550. I love that kind of stuff!

Stearing wheel is nappa leather, the seats are either Artico man made or genuin leather. Not easy to see the differnce, but the feel is a huge difference. You can tell that on the perforated seats, if it is, then it`s fake. If it` not then it`s real, unless you have vented seats, but again, you can`t have vented seats with fake leather.
@fcimports98237 жыл бұрын
That's some good detail, I think I'll always go with vented seats to get real leather. It's funny you bring that up because I rode in my buddies BMW without vented seats and they didn't feel like real leather. Thanks for the info!
