C300 VS C300 Sport
Hello everyone!!
I'm looking to purchase a car in late March. I'm going for a used A5 first and chances are I won't find what I'm looking for so my 2nd choice is C300/C300 sport. I want the Benz 6 speed manual (which is so hard to find, sheesh) but if I can't find that, then I will go with a C350 automatic.
Anyway, anyone know the difference between C300 and C300 sport?
Thanks in advance!

C350 or the C300 manual. I have the manual and every time I get a loaner that isn't I get bored and a little annoyed with the way the auto drives. It makes me miss my car every time I have to go somewhere in the loaner. The manual shifts a little different. Kind of squishy. Haven't found a short shift kit yet. still trying to get some guys to make one. The stock knob sucks too. Mine has been replaced already. Good luck.

No idea on a short shifter though.

Yea? I'm being picky. I want a 2011 (this year has the LED's) with 25k or below miles, and I'm located in Miami area. I also search 75 miles away from Miami and I don't see any. 4 or 5 come up with these filters but when you view the interior they are really Auto's, but the seller posted them as Manuals... Stupid dealers.

you could also just find a low mile 2009 or 2010 in manual and do the LED retrofit. its only 400 bucks in parts and then your in a 2011 look. thats what i would do, theres nothign special about a 2011, and I have one. 2011 they got rid of the ESP on the dash and its in the cluster, I HATE THAT DEAL. If your gonna bother w a newer model get one w paddle shifters it will have dynamic handling package, its awesome in a C350

Both the big TT supra (progressive turbos) and the single T predessor were like driving a small Hi-po V8 .. no lag ever.
I got the FD based on my weight limits, and fastination with the wankel. Also influenced when Mazda prototypes finished 1-2 at Lemans .... the FD design was based on these race cars.

I own a 08 C300 6 speed and like it a lot. Good Luck Finding one in Man Tran. Very rare, More C250 though in 6 speed. The Sport Looks wayyy better in exterior appearance. A 2011 in 6spd, I bet you won't find one. Good Luck!!

2011 C300 6spd manual
Funny that you posted about offleaseonly.com in Miami. I just bought a well equipped 2011 C300 6spd manual with only 3,500 miles from them.
The 7spd auto is very good but I just to happen to like the manual. Also, I do mostly highway driving so I am not in a lot of stop and go traffic that is typical of Miami.
