Nice review. I bought a 2022 C300 4Matic almost 3 months ago, have put over 3,000 miles on it already, and I really like it. I think the 330i is more of a driver’s car than the C-Class, but with the sport suspension option the new C300 handles pretty well in my opinion. Like most Mercedes, options abound on the new C-Class. The base price isn’t terrible, but the MSRP climbs quickly as you start adding options. But around $50-52K will get you a very nice car, not much more than a similarly equipped BMW 330i or Audi A4.

Well after 8 or nine months of owner ship:Amg line. Tinted the windows, carbon mirror caps, carbon spoiler, paint protection. Also had to replace the piano black cup holder cover with the other option with like the other silver print like carbon . Engine is loud sounds like a diesel engine and no pep for my taste. Starling blue with the white or whatever you call it. My belt or my black pants rubbed into the mb tex and won’t come out half to re dye. But very nice looking vehicle. With the Amg line it looks better with the lowered suspension.Yes as you stated zonk on the usb charger stuff. Ordered a 2024 c43.

I agree. I have a 2022 C300. Having driven the prior generation cars, I can tell you the mild hybrid makes the new car’s drivetrain smoother. It’s also supposed to negate turbo lag but there is still some lag when you really punch it.

Merc was always kinda an old mans car but it seems like they’re adding in tech to yes keep current and also to catch sales from the younger market. I personally do not like the buttons and old looking gauges but looks are subjectivr

Why not just put the exhaust in the fake tips? It's just a matter of shaping the mufflers differently, right? I like the car but standing and looking at it from the back, it looks like it has a big bubble butt. Really love the two tones on the interior though.
