My first post, first off hi everyone, and second C350 coupe or C400 sedan questions.

- Which car do you think has a more aesthetically pleasing interior?
- Does the extra speed on the C400 really make that big a difference in a day to day?
- Regarding the multimedia package on the C350 does the rear-view camera have those guidelines like on the C400, and does it offer Bluetooth music streaming?




(the almighty Google wasn't too helpful when asked these questions)

I can't speak about the C400. However I do have a C350 Coupe. The rearview camera does not have guidelines. This is due to the camera being mounted offset to the right. There is Bluetooth music streaming.

C204 C250-CDI
That's a tough one to answer as both cars are very different.


Firstly which configuration do you really want or need to have, ie. sedan or coupe ?? if it really must be one or the other then that should settle the choice, unless you want to wait longer for the C205 to be released.


In terms of aesthetically pleasing interior/s that's really all up to the individual as it's subjective - IMHO I really love the updated 204 series interiors on the coupes, don't like the seats of the sedan even the updated W204 at all but given the choice between the C204 and new W205 I'd choose the W205 interior it's fresh and modern, the only real dislike for me is the removal of the centre gear shifter to the column, that I really hate.


In terms of power plant the new W205 TTV6 has a very noticeable edge in power and performance (I've driven one and was surprised with its acceleration) compared to the N/A 204 series V6 engine and it will no doubt have huge tuning potential in future, so if power and performance are of large interest, then again I would opt for the W205.


At the end of the day just weigh it all up yourself all things considered and make a decision based on what's right for you, don't be too worried or swayed by other peoples opinions

Thanks for the info, I do prefer the style of the coupe, and I'll be able to buy it sooner than the sedan,

Anyhow, my other issue is how does it compare to it's Japanese competitors, like the Infinity Q60? Would you happen to have some knowledge on that subject?

To be honest, I went with 2015 C350 coupe because the interior looks much nicer than the new C's

New C's look like Baby S's, whereas the C's look original

IMO though, no answers here i think!

I love the interior of C coupe but I think that the new C has taken interior level a step up in the class. have to see the next gen C coupe to decide if the same applies to exterior
