Thinking about a c300

So I am starting college and one of the motivations to go to ASU was a sports car. I looked at camaros, s4's, m3's, g35s but the c300 always caught my attention. I like the White C300's the best and I was thinking black rims, drop, tint and some other features. Just wanted to know if getting this car would be in my best interested or should I stick to some speed type cars.

Also pics of modded white c300s would be appreciated.

Mercedes benz c350 sport
hmm...well i dont consider the c300 too sporty i think its more refined... even my c350 i think it could be sportier...if you wanted to go sporty there are plenty of different cars to choose from and also having a good aftermarket background. theres not that much aftermarket options for our cars...compared to common sports cars like an M3. whats your price range ? oh and dont get a G35...i almost got one but i chose a c350 over it...im so glad i did...****ty interior and alot of problems... (aftermarket scene/wheel fitment is amazing however)

Haha, the same thing happened to me. I wanted a G35 at first, test drove it and ended with a C350 lol

Considering you drive a big, flamboyant yellow truck, I would probably stick to the catch-all Camaro, Charger, Challenger, or Mustang if you want "cool" and "speed".

2013 Mercedes c300
I used to own an m3 and to be honest nothing drives like it. The c300 is more of a luxury not sporty like the m3. S4s are nice haven't drove that yet. But g35? Um it's like you went from wow to ehhh lol I have the c300 now it drives smooth but I really miss my m3. I used to also own a Lexus is300. When I was going to school to save money. So it all depends on your budget.

If you don't need 4 doors you should take a look at the BMW 128i/135i or wait until spring for the 2 series. These are sport coupes that handle like sports cars but has room for 4 adults. If you purchase one within warranty the wear items like brake pads are covered by BMW unlike our friends at MB.
