2011 C 300 4-Matic
If I end up buying one, I'll be getting Navigation for sure because I dont like the small standard screen and nav is nice anyway. Plus you can watch DVDs on it. I'll also be getting Xenon lights, 18"AMG wheels cause they look real nice on that car. Heated seats are a must for leather seats in a luxury car. Also its worth it to get the 350 instead of the 300 if you buy it with these options cause they come out really close in price and the 350 pulls much better. And its standard sport model which handles so much better than the "luxury" version.

Where you live plays a big part in which options you can get. U.S. customers can only get 4matic in the C300, so that limits your model choice right away. Same situation with the manual transmission, its only offered in C300 non 4matic cars, so your choices are limited once again. Another strange situation revolves around the 18" AMG wheel package, its only available on non 4matic Sport cars as a factory option. Once you decide on which model you want, next up are the options, P1 seems to be the most popular added option and its the only option I added to my car (except if you count metallic paint). Other popular options here include the ipod adapter, MM package and the pano roof. I myself had no need for those options so for me they didn't warrant the money spent on them, but I will say that the 12 speaker surround sound system is quite nice and that the panoroof looks great, even if its not really all that useful.

C350 4MATIC Premium Package Obsidian Black
if your looking at getting this car load it up! the only thing that might not be worth the money is the leather. most people on here including my dealer have said that the mb tex is more durable.

1. Panoramic Roof - I think it is great especially on certain colors and is very inexpensive. Only I few hundred dollars I believe.
2. Bluetooth - One of the best options on any car for added comfort.
3. Get the 18s the more I look at my car the more I realize I need bigger rims.
