Onwer of Audi for years, I decided to move from Ingolstadt to Stuttgart (virtually) and buy a 2012 C300 4Matic Sport Lunar blue with Almond MB-Tex interior and following optional equipment:

- 17" 5-twin spoke wheels
- Burl walnut wood trim
- 4-way lumbar support
- power driver seat & steering col w/memory
- iPod/MP3 Media interface
- Harman/Kardon sound system w/dolby 5.1
- heated front seat
- sportradiator grill
- sport suspension
- sportline package
- avant garde package (sport)

I got a great deal and finance from the dealer for that car with only 12,000 miles.







In a week, I installed :

- 3M protective film on front end and mirror housings
- tinted windows

I would like to install H&R Sport Spring Set (Premium, Performance Street) as I like to drive stiff car and get better look car.

Is it also your recommendation ?

Thanks in advance

Nice! I've been a VW owner since 2003 and am considering a M-B in the next year or two. Still considering Audi as well. Any little things you've noticed about the C300 vs your Audis?

Since economic model of Audi is now to make volume, I've noticed the quality of material is going down as well as customer service at dealers. Cars are great but overpriced.
