Any reviews on the performance of the new C-350

Has anybody purchased the new C-350 yet? If so, how does the 300+ hp feel? Any comparisons to the C-300 in performance?

How much did the car cost?

Thanks

I would say just go drive one. If you ride up in the E63 I'm sure they won't have a problem letting you test drive one.

I would, but, I just leased a C250 for my Girlfriend. I also have a 2011 C300 plus the E 63.

I'm better off staying away from the dealership. I'm becoming car poor.

I would like to buy a C350 in a few years and was curious as to the performance differences between the C300. I'm surprised I haven't seen any reviews of the new C350. I may just buy a used C63, considering the costs of a new C350

Yeah they are pretty close now. I'm looking at used E63's with the AMG P/P on them. Low 40's is pretty tempting. Pretend you are trading the E in at a different dealership. They won't know the difference anyway or find one at a CarMax.

I would love to hear a review of the new C350 as well. I can't wait till the 350 4matic comes out, that will be awesome. Benz will finally have a car comparable to the S4 - fast, good MPGs and AWD, perfect traits for a NY teenager. At the same time I will never be able to afford a new 350 any time soon, so I hope the new 3.5 dfi is a letdown!

I have been waiting for my C350 to come for more than 4 months now. It's now on the ship to come here. It seems it will take more than 5 months for me to get it.
