I tend to agree with you.

I included a nice macro shot of what my paint looks like at the moment.
Maybe MB should offer a "winter" paint scheme, pre-colorized for that road debris and stuff that accumulates on the sides, hood, and top of the car. Mine is similar to your pix, but I've got great streaks running from the center of the hood out to the sides as well. And I've got an assortment of "coat rubs" where the car's been smudged by other drivers getting in and out of their cars. But so far, no nicks.

I agree: ya gotta live winter!

Hi raver, nice setup there. Is your car a real C63 exhaust system or just the AMG quad tips soldered on? Thanks.

Why are you not a happy owner ?

Car look nice, and so does the backdrop, what's not to like ?

That's an amazing back drop, as someone else said. Nice looking C, too.

I agree with that statement. Same for the interior...mine looks about as bad as the exterior right now.

To make it short and trying to stay polite: While it's the most expensive car I've ever owned, it's also the one with the less traction I've ever driven. (Always owned RWD with a stick ). I've spent big money to get the best winter tires I could get and it's still a pain to drive in the snow. That POS is just allergic to snow.

Not to mention all the rattles that are coming from somewhere in the back deck since day 2 that are really annoying.

I'm highly disappointed and unlikely to keep it.

In regards to the noise you hear, have you taken it to the dealer? They resolved my noise, no car is perfect but doesnt mean they dont have a solution for your problem

https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w204/245168-im-1....

Also I live in the Toronto Canada region and we also get lots of snow, and i understand the C IS very tail happy but im managing just fine, especially with ESP, Just have to have a lighter foot and take your time.

but gluck either way.

Picked up my 2009 C350 on the 3rd of January and I finally got around to taking some pictures. You'll have to excuse the picture quality, I think my digital camera is about to give up.

Specs: 2009 C350, Arctic White w/ Black MB Tex, P2, Multimedia + Nav, Pano, and 18" AMG rims. The only thing I've had time to do to it so far is get the tint done. I went with a the Ceramic Pinnacle Formula One 30. I plan on getting the clear side markers, smoke the rear tail lights, and swap out the stock shifter and door pins soon. Later this year when I have more time I think I'll delve into the rear diffuser and quad tip exhaust.

Nice! Arctic white looks like real white. So nice!

In the showroom.





And beside my old car (18 years old and ~440,000 miles) that I badly miss. (Ugly and unrefined, but a total blast to drive during winter and zillion time more practical)

Love the scenery Caperone, may I ask where the backdrop is from? I love this vehicle in white, it's funny though as I've almost always been opposed to white cars. I think the harder lines are what drew me to the vehicle in white...
