I have a very late 2010 c300 4matic sport. I have the larger screen with navigation and it is still a great car. I bought it used ten years ago and I still love driving it.

[@deandrewolf5996]

This is the best review covering this Mercedes 🤞🤝🍻

[@alhassanzayyanu5712]

Mike C good evening, nice review i love it.But u know the class W204 has a refresh from 2011 down to 2014. The refresh model has bigger LCD,more features and also a better exterior design even on the base models. In Nigeria the C class has more appeal than a BMW or an Audi. The C class is much more reliable and durable than the BMW. The Audi is a no no no in Nigeria,The BMW and Audi have electrical problems and very expensive to maintain.Under hot weather the Benz is much more reliable.so thanks a lot for the review

[@BC2FITTY]

Great detailed video , Nice looking Benz as well ,

Really excellent narration!

[@robertcontreras6644]

Great information!

I own this car, it's Avantgarde Sport. 4 years now; the speed, comfort and handling are top notch, you will enjoy it on a long distance drive.

Hi would you say this is an expensive to car to run?

What about mantainance costs

[@slickjimbob7659]

@@sabinasultana6789for me I’m at the pump twice a week maybe it’s because I drive her like a race car and the fuel is super expensive as this vehicle needs premium gasoline I bought it 3 years ago at 100k miles I put a good 38k miles on it since no problems just had to do suspension work on the links as there prone to give out and also car sits low to the ground watch out for the pot holes! Highly recommend this model was thinking about selling mine but I think I will hold on to her for however long I can!! Thanks

For the smart key. Push on it to unlock or lock the doors when the key is on you.

does the rear seats in a 2009 c300 fold down? if so how

[@fredotlogetswe3047]

They do. When you open the boot you will see two handles there, you have to pull them back.

[@alhassanzayyanu5712]

I have a C300 with automatic rearview mirror and garage door buttons or opener. Another advantage is that the C class is much more reliable than the audi or bmw We in Africa would tell you that

[@ha2345624]

I own an Infiniti Q50 Hybrid Sport and I’m shocked as to how low the hp is on the C300 and C350. Mine is pushing 360hp and regular G models push up 300 hp. These Mercedes are nice though. A C63 🥵

[@everetteramey5723]

@@Spideythoughts I changed out the PCV valve oil camshaft cap; coolant temp sensor; replaced coolant fan, AIT sensor; Thermostat. I paid about 400 for those parts and changed it myself saving at least 3500$. The only problem is tight space.. I had engine mounts replaced parts was 130 and the labor 600. I had all the front suspension replaced I took a loan for 3000$ and paid it back in 3 months. The car rides like a new car now. It was worth it instead of buying a new car. I did things in small increments. I'm going to replace the spark plugs and manifold next to make sure I can get another 5 years out of this car.. The interior I did have one seat re-upholstered and I bought chrome decals for the door buttons and radio button decals.. I fixed the glove box myself for 130 instead of paying 500$.

@@DrivenCompanion thank you

[@freddiebeltran8174]

I can imagine this car he is advertising has a bucket load of miles, I bought mine 60,000 miles, no engine defects, new condition. Look at the screen on the speedometer it’s that’s why it’s $10k

[@dennisthemenace5150]

Screen turns red when the parking brake is on and you try to drive it. Switch needs adjustment maybe?

[@gregdesena4207]

I noticed the tire pressure indicator was on as well. Sometimes if the tire pressure monitor is inactive, it throws a warning to check air pressure that turns the speedo red as well. It does this if any of the doors or trunk are not fully closed as well, so it's not necessarily indicative of something drastically wrong with the car. I'm surprised he didn't bother to hit the OK button and make it go away though!

Hello ! is it good to buy 2013 C300 Benz with 100k millage ?

If its been well maintained it could be a good option, but they do have a reputation for being expensive to repair when something does fail.

Mike C it looks very clean, inside the car is well maintained, can you please tell me what are the common problems in those cars ?

Ash Bajaj thx , I didn’t buy it anyways. I’ll buy a new by down payment. That’s what my uncle said

[@nicholasbabeaux2052]

@@Macho_USI the C250 came out in 2012 here in the United States and it was actually extremely popular, of the facelift models at least here in California the majority of them are the C250, especially the coupe. I’m always shocked when I see a C350 coupe of this C class generation, those are awesome. looks are subjective, but I do think that this generation C class looks excellent, just enough distinction between the other Mercedes sedans. However, the 2015 C class is just on a whole other level. It’s gorgeous, looks modern to this day and it has great proportions.. yes of course it does look like the S class and the E class but it’s very classy…
