Now that Mercedes-Benz's CLA handles entry-level duties for the tri-pointed star, the newest C-Class grows closer to its upscale stablemates and more competitive against the likes of the Audi A4, BMW 3-series, and Lexus IS. Has the C-Class become a wholly upmarket offering? KBB’s Micah Muzio finds out in this video.

My only issue with this, is the lack of radio pre-set buttons. I'm not sure why cars are trying to phase them out? That's the number one thing a driver probably messes with with driving. I just think a physical button is much safer than having to change different screens while driving.

I actually got really lucky. On 3/17/20 I purchased a 2016 Mercedes Benz C300 4Matic Sport for 25K. It was certified preowned with 20,000 miles on it. It is fully loaded. The only thing missing was distronic (Mercedes driver assistance tech). It has backup camera, navigation, Burmester sound, pano sunroof, AMG wheels 18 inch 5 spoke, sport tuned suspension, sporty body molding. The spec sheet I had showed the original MSRP was over 53K back in 2016. Since the car is certified by MB... they offer an extended year of warranty with unlimited miles and they gave me free complimentary maintenance at 30K miles (when I’m ready to get the 30K mile maintenance). I traded in my Nissan Leaf for this car. I had a lease and I was paying over 400 bucks a month on the Nissan Leaf, and I hated the leaf. It was cheap and yet the car was very expensive in price. The MSRP on the leaf was 44K. I put 4K down on the C300 and I’m paying $380 bucks a month for the MB C300. It’s a great car and since it was certified... Mercedes has all the service records for it. You can totally buy a C300 for a very reasonable price.

Lenny The Wizard Depends on who you ask. Some people prefer the more linear power delivery of a normally aspirated engine. As for me, I prefer the torque surge of a turbo motor, especially one that kicks in down low. Helps for scooting in and out of gaps in city traffic.

Mercedes is definitely picking it up. A lighter chassis is great. The previous model seemed a little ridiculous. The C300 looks amazing. Interior quality is something that Mercedes always benchmarks, although driving dynamics typically go to BMW. The new C-Class will sell a lot. Lots of great reviews. Mercedes ranked 2nd on JDPower Dependability lists. Mercedes is starting to take back its crown of a dependable, solid car.

juss7111 Because it isn't cheap. They don't just simply put some reversing camera on their cars. Look at the high resolution quality of Mercedes back up cameras and compare it to the rubbish in other cars and you'll see why a reverse camera isn't cheap in this case. It's not about just giving a feature but also the quality of that feature that matters. It has to be the best or nothing.

We have this product back here in India. Allow me to describe its quality. It has shoddy equipments that break down apace it still has that extortionate pricing. (Blame it on GST). I'll quicky elucidate GST. It is our taxation system. Right from its inception it has deterred buyer and potential buyers alike. Our govt believes that we undeserving of anything they offer. Maybe I am digressing from the topic at hand. It exasperates me. I can't find any plausible explanation as to why the govt has to extortionately tax a commodity that is quite common in other parts of the world.

I must admit I have never been a fan of Mercedes-Benz. One I always thought the people who drove them where pretentious. Also when I was in Europe and realize that over there they really don't cost much more than a regular sedan I kept thinking that they were ripping us off here in the United States. However, I finally had a chance to rent a Mercedes Benz C Class 2018 with 687 miles on it. Here in the Fort Lauderdale area. I must admit after 2 days I will say the car is solid feels like you're sitting inside of a vault, it is that quiet. The steering itself is extremely accurate the nose goes where the steering wheel is pointed. However the Audi A4 which I drove a few weeks earlier has even better and more accurate steering and it's a little bit lighter. The interior as well as very solid there isn't much fake looking plastic everything feel soft to the touch you feel like you are in a luxury car. However I would say the same thing for the Audi so in this core the interior's feel the same however I like the Audi layout a lot better. the instrument panel and the entertainment system are a lot simpler on the Audi. I spent 3 days with the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and I still couldn't figure out the radio so I had to use Bluetooth for all of my entertainment as well as for my cell phone calls. Last thing, both of these cars are considered compact luxury cars but the Mercedes-Benz felt definitely more claustrophobic I had to move my seat a lot further back from the windshield in order to feel comfortable and I'm 6 feet 2 inches tall. There was no room of any significance in the back seat once I moved my front seat to a comfortable position. The Audi A4 was definitely more comfortable and felt more spacious inside for the driver. I would say both of these cars are excellent cars the question is whether you want the Mercedes-Benz 3 pointed star or you want the slightly extra grin factor of the Audi A4.

They are beautiful and quite intelligently engineered yet they're not necessarily the most reliable cars in the market. They're surely superior in reliability and build quality of French, Italian and British cars, but if we were to consider reliability, Japan's Toyota and Lexus for example are superior over the long run granted they score less in the luxury box.

I like the more solid and box like look of the W204 previous models. This one has a decent front end that we have seen on the latest E class and CLA already which is not bad but the rear looks like a Hyundai from half a decade ago. The interior however ( I've drive and sat in a c300) is very nice, the tacky screen is annoying and silly but the dash never felt cheap anywhere else. I think I may just look for a 2014 W204.

Being more reliable than an S Class is like saying the word apple starts with a. Can't list any car that is more unreliable. E Class however.... is also unreliable. Maybe second most unreliable car..... I can bet you 100 bucks that if MB was Korean, it would have sunk a long time ago. They have nothing special about the brand, their powertrains or interior. The only special qualities are in the S Class, and those special qualities break down within a few months anyway. Throwing money at a fire sounds fun at the beginning, and gets even more fun as time goes on.

cadsux Are you saying that there are still signs of the shoddy build quality in Mercs due to their partnership back then? That is, does Merc's past reliability scoring from the Chrysler days weigh into their current score now ? Also, what does the CR survey list as the main problems with Mercs? Is it actual mechanical issues or just infotainment problems? I'm genuinely curious since I was looking at getting a Merc soon. As long as it's mechanically sound I can live with a slightly wonky infotainment. Coming from a 99 ML 320 (probably the least reliable Merc ever) I'm no stranger to high repair costs so that's my primary concern.

Yes and no. In 2013, they ranked #13, so the 2014 models resulted in the drop to #24, with the CLA being the worst model, followed by the GL and S-Class. The problems vary with each model. The CLA had powertrain, body and electrical problems; the GL had powertrain and brake issues, and the S had suspension, brakes and body issues. Although infotainment issues are included in the surveys, powertrain and other mechanical issues factor more heavily into the equation. Consumer Reports did list the E-Class and GLK as a recommended buy. Regardless of "below average reliability" across the brand over the years, owner satisfaction was "better than average". Always buy a car that puts a smile on your face.

I believe that most of the video was done using the one with the AMG package. Some of the unmistakable exterior feature of the AMG package would be the chrome lip on the front bumper, the diffuser and the twin exhaust outlets. As for the interior it would be the flat based steering wheel.

In the mid-sized luxury sedan class, the 2016 Acura TLX has better safety features and standards, better user-friendly touchscreen, better handling, REAL leather seats, more spacious backseats, less costly maintenance, and you can get one for almost 8k less than a Mercedes C-Class. It amazes me how some people will buy an inferior product only for the brand.

Weeeeak!!! The unless you look towards the E-class the brand makes a weak entry level vehicle. Want performance and driving experience, go with BMW. Want technology and front wheel drive, choose Audi. All offer great speakers and surround sound. If this was the benchmark of entry level luxury sedans then it would have been called a 3-series.

+Lurganista BMW/Mercedes get the best mileage vs Audi I believe, but I hear BMW has a bad record when it comes to maintenance. BMW/Mercedes I just feel are a bit overpriced, as the new Audi A4 gets quite the add on for the price. Not sure what I'll end up getting later, as good work/money is hard to come by.

Great car, I just got one last week and instantly fell in love with pretty much everything. I don't feel like it's overpriced judging from the quality of every part of the car, check it out yourself and you'll see. MB, BMW and Audi, I feel like MB is ahead of the other 2, BMW came close second with Audi as a far 3rd.
