New Mercedes owner
Hello everyone,
I currently drive a VW Golf 7 R which I'm very happy with, but I need to change for something bigger. I'm looking for a coupe form car now and to be honest the C Class Coupe is by far the best looking Coupe in its Class. So I went to a Mercedes dealer do get an offer for the C Class 220d Coupe and I got a reasonable good offer in fact much cheaper than I expected!
So my question to you guys since I have no experience in owning a Mercedes is what options do you think is a must have in a C Class Coupe or maybe you guys can say which options I don't need. The Offer I got, is nearly full option appart from:
- Panoramic roof
- Electric seats
- Burmester sound system
- Adaptif dampers (or Air damper)
- Distronic
- 360° Camera
Appart from those options I think I got everything.

I have a US '17 C300 with the Premium 2 package.
I don't have Distronic Plus, Airmatic, or a 360 camera (wasn't available for it).
I have all the others.
The sunroof was a must for me (gotta have my sunlight), and the blind spot detection has been good enough for me.
Not sure how much the Burmester system was an "option" with COMAND, but it's not special...at.all.
It's nothing like the E and S class versions: it's a Burmester in label only.
It's not even marginally impressive. I've had to use surround sound settings (eww) to keep it from clipping.
That said, I still love it, nearly 2 years later, and have had no major issues.

I have all of the above on my C300, with the exception of distronic.
I came from and M Sport 330d, so the air suspension was first on my list due to driving the BMW bone shaker for 3 years! If you’re in an R now though, suspect standard suspension will be enough for you.
I would highly recommend the 360 camera. It’s brilliant and has saved my wheels lots of times on kerbs etc. Pays for itself quickly!
Pan sunroof is great, but depends on cost personally. Wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me.
Sound system is poor, as covered on here already. Speaker grills look much better than the standard ones, but that’s where it ends. Poor from MB considering.
Hope that helps.

Panoramic roof electric seats will help resale value. But why didn’t you ask about 250d? I have it with the 9 speed auto have to say I’m impressed with the torque and power. I had the same engine in an slk before and there just is no comparison whatever they’ve done.
