I usually say the people that drive this car have joined a cult they just don't know it, this is because once you start driving this car you just can't abandon it, instead you will be suffering and smiling inside it. With this car there are only three people at any given time that know the problem of the car I.e the owner, the mechanic and finally God, this because at any given time there is most likely something failed or failing within the car which is usually ignored . Driving this car is like dating Kim Kardashian, because everyone hails, admire and even envy you failing to take into cognizance the cost and stress of owning this vehicle. Problems of this car oppor! Its main weaknesses are electrical, water and ground clearance. The pros of this car are the effizy value, its a true performer it punches above its weight class you can be rest assured you will dominate about 70-80% of the cars you meet on the road, only cars that challenge or out do this car on performance, pickup, handling and sprint that I've experienced are the lexus ISF family, some BMW 3&5 especially the M's, lexus GX400, land cruisers, jaguar Xj, xkr, xf etc Range and tundras but at this point you're beginning get the idea its punching way above its weight class. If you want to go batshit insanely untouchable on the road get c63 AMG, I once raced an AMG it was as of i was racing myself before my c350 had time to pickup the AMG had left me behind. Driving this car is pure bliss especially on a sunday morning on Abuja Airport road or kubuwa express with the AC on. Now the problems yakpa, but fortunately they all stem from one thing maintenance, if you can't do it properly you will definitely not enjoy this car. For example if you carry out an oil change with the regular oil and not mobile 1, at first you won't notice any difference but over time you'll notice engine power degradation which leads to increased fuel consumption and increased fuel consumption clogs your sparks faster. So by the time you experience a catastrophic engine break down you'll be changing oil, plugs, rings, filters and possibly pump too. Some of the other problems of this car are the many sensors that can fail and are expensive to maintain. The front tire assembly namely lower & upper arm, the various bushings, shaft and shocks are usually the are the first to fail depending on how you drive or where you live. This vehicle hates being in water or heavy rain due its low ground clearance it also means all the tire and electrical components are constantly submerged in water hence they fail, especially one component call the VGS. If that fails you'll experience new levels of pain and hurt from driving this car and another component that sometimes acts up is the fuel pump and if not done properly could start a fire as the pumps and its wiring sits instead fuel in the tank. Some tips when buying this car: NEVER NEVER buy a Nigerian used one that's equivalent of flushing your money down the toilet Brace yourself for fuel consumption ( no more corolla or camry consumption, you're now rocking with the big boys) Stay clear of the 2014 and above model years ( aka black engine) they're not bad on the contrary they're better in performance and fuel economy. The problem is most mechanics don't know how to repair it hence compounding your problem Have a good and trusted mechanics if not them go office your enter problem. Brace yourself the parts are quite expensive, try to buy new or used original part. Cutting corners with this car never pays in the long run. Try as much as possible to fix issues in a timely manner because delaying it only compounds repairs and costs Unless you're a Benz enthusiast buy the C300, leave the C350 4matic alone, it's not worth the hassle if you want the car for effizy. But if u need the extra oomph, bite, grip, traction and balance then go 4matic. But notwithstanding it is for me its a great car, one of the best Benz out there with so much poise, power and character. 7.5/10 for me

[@olabisioladunmade2830]

The w204 is a staple vehicle on Nigerian roads today, but I still don't get the idea why many Nigerians opt for the C300 when they can get the C350 with more grunt and power, although considering that the C300 has a 1mpg gas mileage better than the 350 is quite rational, but that's negligible by me. Even Mercedes don't make them how they use to before with the newer w205, and their turbocharging gimmick to spool more HP from a smaller displacement engine to meet emission standards. As for me I'd go with the legendary w204 C63 AMG because there's no replacement for cubic inches (displacement).😂

[@234drive]

I think it’s the availability also. The C300 is more accessible.

[@olabisioladunmade2830]

@@234drive Yeah, I think that's it.

[@ishotit....1195]

Also maintenance is also a factor to consider, in as much as both cars are largely similar, certain parts vary and those parts that vary in the C350 are often scarce, difficult to procure or significantly more expensive than the c300 parts.

[@nathanjelka2403]

Just to add, you mentioned its a 2010 model but it's actually a face-lift (2012-2014) with an upgraded grille from the W205. You can tell by comparing the both the headlights and tail lights of the pre face-lift and face-lift models. You can also tell from the interior.....face-lift models have very similar infotainment to the e class the pre face-lift (2008-11) has the pop-up screen. Awesome review by the way.

[@dozersdad5817]

Hi again young man. I commented on one of your videos yesterday re the Ford Edge. I/my wife also have a 2017 Mercedes SLC AMG. It's an awesome sunny days car, but it has far too much technology. That a home mechanic/engineer such as myself can't easily fix. Therefore I'd guess that any Mercedes used on the roads of Nigeria are going to frequently give big & expensive problems. Buy a Honda or Toyota my friend. They will give you a far better ownership experience in the long term. Mercedes aren't built to handle dirt roads. PS... My wife works for Honda.

[@aminkeng4soccer]

GREAT VIDEO BRO!!! In one of her songs, K michelle said: "That's a C-Class Benz, that is not a car!". I didn't understand at the time but now I do. From the propective of someone in the states. I'd say Invest the money in a Lexus or Infinity. You'll get more for your money. You only experience the true essense of performance or luxury that Mercedes has to offer with AMG or E class and up. C300 might not be worth the issues it will give because most who buy them can't afford the maintenance. They're also not as premium and very common. Also considering some of the roads in Nigera I would shoot for a truck or SUV. Like G class. Anyway, GREAT VIDEO

Truth be told, I don’t think german cars can ever go wrong… I am a BMW guy, used an E46 in Nigeria many years ago then an E90 in the states… the annoying thing is dealership is we’re everyone mostly fix there cars. So when I bough my e90 I jacks when I wanna boost or hit the gas. Had the issue for like 3years. Before I fixed it. But before then I took it to bmw dealership. They gave me a quote of $3000 plus. YES… in that was a charge of $800 for workmanship. Only to fix it with $78. And that was how I became my e90 mechanic.
