2024 Mercedes Benz C300 Falls Short :All Specs Test Drive

[@joeodonnell9290]

Anthony , another nice review. I’m always impressed with your knowledge of the car specs you are reviewing … shows you do your research. Thanks!

[@HawkeyeRides]

Thanks Joe I appreciate that 👍

Another milestone has been met I see. Congrats on the 20K subscribers. Keep bringing the amazing content.

[@HawkeyeRides]

Thank you i appreciate that. I was able to get both screen shots on my phone today, 19,999 and 20,000 😁👍

My Dad taught me an important lesson...never buy a NEW car! I've followed his advice for years and saved a bundle. My most recent purchase was a 2021 C300 with 13K miles! Not only did I save a lot of money, I got a 100k warranty because it was certified not to mention it was still under the original mfg. warranty! Yes, I know I paid a little more for a certified car, but I have the peace of mind that I have no worry about major repairs. It's stupid to pay crazy prices for a NEW Benz or any car!

[@HawkeyeRides]

Thanks for the tip and congratulations

Does it comes with ventilated seats?...and driver assistance package?

[@HawkeyeRides]

The msrp that shows all the features you are asking is on every video in the first 2-15 seconds. No it is not standard for ventilated front seats but it is an option as well as some driver assist features. Here is Mercedes-Benz spec sheet: www.mbusa.com/en/vehicles/model/c-class/sedan/c300w

Great review Anthony! That is such a great looking car inside and out. I love that more manufacturers are getting away from black, grey or tan interiors. This really is pricey though but if you're buying it for the long term I would go for it. Hope that you are doing great!

[@HawkeyeRides]

Mercedes makes a nice vehicle and I like how they give S-Class interior styling for the price of a C-Class. I wish it was 7-10k less but everyone has went up. It was an awesome day getting ready for Ford tomorrow, maybe Mazda if we finish early and BMW this week. Thanks James happy Monday

[@jameswalsh6131]

@@HawkeyeRides For sure that interior is so beautiful. I'm glad that many places prices are evening out but yeah all that tech in the cars definitely costs more. Oh you have a busy week ahead. I'm not sure how you learn all the features of so many cars! Thanks Anthony and happy Monday to you as well.

[@HawkeyeRides]

@jameswalsh6131 I’m working thought out the day everyday keeping up with specs and the latest updates. A lot of the auto industry communities with me but sometimes I receive a vehicles and I have to figure it out because it’s so new that the company may only have information in other countries. That’s the fun part 😁 however I review all models so keeping good notes help with any refresh.

[@bizzybezz]

Tbh after owning a BMW I'd much rather have that in terms of driving experience. But Benz does have bit better interior

[@HawkeyeRides]

The updates for the c class was needed and given some s class for a discount I’m all for it

[@Trollberg]

I drove both bmw drives like ass

[@craigschray4486]

Beautiful car until you dig a little deeper and find out that oil changes are 4-6 hundred dollars. Brakes are a thousand per axel. I haven't been able to get pricing for a transmission fluid change yet, but I'd guess 1000 dollars. That's a lot of dough.

[@HawkeyeRides]

@@craigschray4486 thanks for sharing

[@michelledavis2073]

Good to know, Ty! In addition to what these vids share, I’d like to hear about this info as well including costs to fuel.

[@brianmadison7166]

I assume none of the trims offer analog gauges. Are we stuck staring at yet another screen?

[@HawkeyeRides]

@@brianmadison7166 this is the new normal, all digital screens with different configurations

[@Crackers2549]

Good looking car but I'll still take the Audi A5 Sportback, hands down...! That A5's style is still awesome Hawkeye ....! One more thing I don't like that screen below the top of dash and below the vents.... You have to look down and below the top of dash and I feel it's dangerous... Like the screen up at top at dash level... As usual excellent video...Greg

[@HawkeyeRides]

I like the outside styling but some updates in the inside would be nice for the A5.

[@phk1959]

Thanks for the video. I own a 30 Yr old w210 and a 1 Yr old w206. The w206 is way better than the w210 with 2 exeptions: 1. The quality of materials used on the w210 and 2. How suspension feels on the w210 is unbeatable. In these 2 aspects I am disappointed by w206.

[@HawkeyeRides]

You’re welcome and thanks for sharing your insight

[@georgeochletree5080]

I'm just saying,I'm paying that kinda money I would like to have a real exhaust.I just test drove a 25 CLA 35 AMG dual exhaust but only one side hot..$ 63,185.000

[@HawkeyeRides]

@@georgeochletree5080 I agree that is why I bought a Maserati. Audi for 2025 said they are going to have real exhaust so if they do I can see Mercedes and BMW going that way too but more then likely they will charge extra for it.

[@georgeochletree5080]

But the exhaust outlets are fake.They are closed off..

[@HawkeyeRides]

Ok and this is the same for Audi so what is your point. The sound comes in to the vehicle through the speakers with a box that’s in the truck too. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t look good or have a nice sound 👍

[@timedj9164]

lmao @ 70k ..

[@HawkeyeRides]

It can get expensive

[@Macsimus007]

You don't have to option all that shit though. I agree it's insane. I wouldn't pay more than 60k for this car. I'd go AMG night package and call it a day.
