New C350 Owner - I love this car!

I picked up my pre-owned C350 last night. It's Palladium Silver with P2, Panarama, iPod, and 18' rims. I had been cross-shopping the 335 and S4. I was able to find a 2008 with only 1800 miles and certified. It was a great deal.

I absolutely love this car. Every time I get in it I can't wait to drive and learn more about it. The Multimedia package is the best I have used and in my opinion the stereo is flawless. Sorry if I'm gushing but I haven't been so excited about a car since my 97 M3.

I know you all love your cars too but I just had to say how happy I am to have chosen Mercedes. I plan to have this car for a long time. None of the other cars could compare all around.

its all about proportion

The 350 is a more balanced car I think, the C63 is a beast and nice and all, wish I had one. haha

BMW 3-series interior needs an improvement for sure. Not getting your money's worth even if that's not exactly what they're about.

I've had my 350 for almost a year and 8 months. Have 40k+ miles on it. Not one single problem. Just that its black and impossible to keep clean for more than 3 days. But besides that, great car. Good Luck!!

c350
I was cross shopping the 335 along with the 350 and ended up with the 350, the interface can not be messed with. Plus the interior I think is not as bland as the 335. Granted the 335 has better 0-60 and 1/4 times I think the 350 is plenty fast. I read an online review somewhere and the 350 spanked the 335 from 40-100 mph. These cars have mid range punch!
