Is the 2011 Mercedes Benz C300 a driver enthusiasts car? | 2011 C300 4MATIC In Depth Review

[@billman32]

I like it. Two regular guys giving us a glimpse into what it would be like to buy an affordable used European car. Reminds me of me and my buddies whenever a parent was dumb enough to loan us a car. I remember doing backwards donuts in my friend's stepdad's ford station wagon...

That Mercedes still looks new!

[@AmericanVsImports]

The owner must take really good care of it! Or maybe her son details it?

[@vetb882]

100 lbs of paint will do that. That's why they look new for so long.

[@ermalhodo1193]

I LOVE when you say quirk

[@jericalee4566]

I am buying a c250 sport 2012 57k miles . Whoever had the car in your video took great care of it and didn’t drive it much only 58k and it’s 10 years old not bad

[@AmericanVsImports]

Amazing Jerica, I think you’ll love it! Let us know if you have any questions

[@okoliesuccess4739]

How much did you spend on the purchase?

[@mrru0618]

ESP can be turned off from the menu in the speedometer.

Would you recommend this over a honda civic or mazda 3? My friend is selling one with 24k miles for 14 thousand $. Same model and everything. Im worried about the long term maintenance costs

[@sakurosozac6605]

Btw i dont know shit about cars i just want a nice a to b car that looks cool

[@lildirt793]

Idk bro I think you should get cool with mechanic who works on Mercedes I got cool asf with a mechanic at my job he willing teach me how to work on bmw and Mercedes so now I’m deciding to buy one because I know parts for this car + taking it to the shop can be very expensive

[@TheWizardboy5]

Market value of the c300 is about 9 - 10k

[@rustystaley7150]

@@TheWizardboy5 with only 24k miles I think it'd be worth a little more.

[@DCKINGVDAGOAT]

Great review, VERY much appreciated. Damn, did yall ever figure out what cause the car to go into "limp mode"? That was weird.

[@AmericanVsImports]

Hey thanks for the comment! We think limp mode was activated because we didn’t turn off ESC which you can do in the gauge cluster screen. Thanks for watching and don’t forget to subscribe!

The car does have Bluetooth- i use it everyday for pairing with my iphone for handsfree calling.

Hey does the regular c300 bumper fit on this I need to know

[@sorethumbs379]

Is this car reliable?

[@AmericanVsImports]

I would say it is reliable after having it for 10 years. It’s a naturally aspirated V6 so no forced induction and no significant issues over the years so I recommend it for its reliability!

How much you paid for it if you don't mind me asking

[@vetb882]

Never saw you guys before. Some of your stuff is MB novice... Lol. But then I spent 4 years with an E55 before life went sideways. Finally back in a 3 star car and this is what I have, 2011 C300 Sport, less glam than this car but she feels like a baby AMG. Truth be told, MB LIES about their HP figures. No way in hell a 468 HP car can run 0-60 in 4.1 seconds with a 4,400 lb car, it would need at least 530 to do that. I'm betting that's what a 2006 ///AMG E55 is pumping. And if they say this car has 225, it's likely closer to 260. I'm having a blast with my 2011 C300 Sport 4Matic. Yes, Sport mode causes a noticably faster downshift when you do into it and it the out a bit further. All MB feel planted in the road. Remember this body style was used for their Championship winning DTM cars. And FYI, the car didn't make the man. If bet you 1000 bucks with THIS car of stomp you into next Tuesday with your house up car. ANYONE can drive 80 mph in a str8 line, try TURNING at that speed. Corners are what separates Pro racers from guys acting like racers in the highest when no one else is racing them. Take your stuff to a track she really test yourself. I did. 2011 graduate AMG DRIVING ACADEMY U. S. Lime Rock Motorsport Park the there in CT. * A little too to save your life should you decide to get frisky on the road: DO YOUR BRAKING WHILE THE CAR IS GOING STR8, TRUTH IN THE TURN, ACCELERATE ON THE WAY OUT OF THE TURN. Remember, that's how that cannot golfer FKKKED up and nearly killed himself. Overcooked it into a kind, fast, sweeping truth... Got spooked and jammed in the brakes... DON'T DO THAT. That's lesson no. 1 from the AMG ACADEMY. You're welcome. 👍🏽😎🙏🏻✝️😎 Stay safe out there.

[@AmericanVsImports]

Thanks for the comment! Mercedes is an amazing car brand! I can’t wait to get myself and AMG one day, but it’s got to be a real 6.2L V8 or even the bi turbo V8s are great too!

[@sullenthunder7123]

Tire brand?

[@jsweetsgetsfitjoeysweet330]

The car does have Bluetooth my guy. That was standard in the w204

[@AmericanVsImports]

How different is this from the c250. I'm thinking of purchasing one. 180 thousand km and asking price is $7400 from the dealership. Thoughts?

[@AmericanVsImports]

Hey, I’m just worried about it being high mileage and just the fact that it’s a Mercedes, maintenance is already high. I just hope there’s nothing wrong with it that you would have to repair. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

[@cesarcuhs3913]
