C300-Cabrio in Blue Pic
Hi All,
Picked up the new Cabrio 4Matic on Monday and Tuesday was a nice "warm" day so took a nice ride with the Blue top down. Had a few minutes to pull over and take an iPhone shot while yelling at gulls flying overhead.
This is a C300 Cabrio Brilliant Blue with a blue top. Drives different than the SLK but really like it.. The 9 Speed is a little weird and do feel it bang a bit on the down shifts on Sport+
I didn't get Command because I do not like the MB Navi but am finding lots of things that are not supported since I have Audio20 (like Siri).
Heading into Winter so interested to see how the soft top works out. Good thing I will be able to drive it more with the 4Matic.

Beautiful, I am waiting for my Cardinal Red C63S Cab to come in. It was between the Blue and the Red. Hope I made the right choice. The blue is amazing.

Congratulations - its a gorgeous looking car. Looking forward to lots more pics inside and out !
I would be interested in your opinion on the ride based on the suspension you have and also the engine sound both accelerating and cruising .
Thanks again

Sorry Guys I have been away most of the past few two months.
Actually love the car, zero issues. A bit of road noise with the soft top.
Wish I would have gotten the air suspension because with the MOE run flat tires it is a bit harsh on the bumps and potholes.
Had the top down a few times before the cold set in and with the air cap turbulance was pretty good.
Engine is pretty smooth a couple of hard downshifts in Sport+ and I have to remember it is not the SLK when it comes to handling.
Also have to be careful with the 9 speed. My body is comfortable cruising at about 2200RPM which in this car is about 85mph

Beautiful car I didn't see this thread earlier as I've just come back to the forum after not visiting for a while. A cabriolet was on my list but being in the UK (crappy weather) & currently saving for other things it was further down on the priorities. Just got a coupé in the same colour so I'm happy.
