2011 c300 vs 2013 c250
I own a 2011 c300 and while she was getting serviced, they gave me a 2013 c250 as a loaner.
I have to say that the first few miles, I was feeling happy how responsive the 4 cylinder felt. But then I was really happy to get my 6 cylinder back.
Did anybody had the same experiences ?

I'm always happy to get my 4 cylinder back. I find the exhaust note/drone on the V6 tiresome, and I don't like how the power delivery of the 6 cylinder feels.

At this point in my life Im very happy with my little 4cyl. I just had a Service B done and the dealer gave me a 2013 C 300 as a loaner. Perhaps a little more real life power but not enough for me to want one at this time in my life. Ive had more powerful cars and suffered with worse MPG. This time I wanted to find a car that had some sportiness, comfort and economy and the 250 fills that for me.
I like the feel of the turbo and the little push back into the seat it gives, it may be an illusion of speed but its fun to drive and I still get avg of 32 mpg on my daily 140 mile commute.
IMO all 3 of the C class are great little cars that suit many drivers needs
