New W204 C300 Owner in Canada :D
Hey Everyone so it's time to introduce my self to this forum. I'm Andriy and am currently 23 and turning 24 in April. I used to drive this for 5 years
And now after saving and finding a great deal, I will be taking delivery of this at the end of the week. IM SOOOOO EXCITEDDD!!!!!!!!
I feel so excited to go from a Toyota to a Benz since I have been always wanting to own one...since I am European hahaha. Either way, there won't be any work done to it at the start but my ultimate goal in a few years to make it a bit wider

If you still have the corolla and you have a extra space on your garage keep the corolla and just don't insure it. When winter comes use the corolla as your beater car as I know Edmonton is Notorious for having a lot of salt on their roads and if you don't wash the car often you will get your paint finish ruined or worst rusting panels.

Thanks guys! 
Well I only took it for a test drive about 3 weeks ago and it was niceeee. Tomorrow I pick it up at 9am and than have it for ever.
Yea I sold the corolla but I will be getting 3M on the car and I usually wash my cars once a week so It will be spick and span all the time. Maybe some light window tint is due though.
More Pics will be up tomorrow though

Photos of the Week: From a Corolla to a C-Class
There are few better feelings in life than moving up to a higher class of automobile. That’s what has happened to forum member “Andriy242”. Andriy recently sold his Toyota Corolla; a car he had been driving since he was 18 years old. Now, at the ripe-old age of 23, he owns the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C300 […]

Big Congratulations!
I remember when I first got a C300 in early 2008. It was an awesome car to own and drive though mine was pretty bare since I got it new and couldn't afford to price it out with a ton of options. Yours looks like it's got some equipment judging from the navigation.
How are you liking the car? It was a massive step up from anything else I had driven before when I got it.

Heyyyyy Thanks everyone. I don't think I have ever been sooooo excited to own a Benz. So I picked it up yesterday At 9:30am and headed off to work. But when I got there it was just taking people for a spin. And even after getting home I spent all of my time driving the car from 6pm till 11pm of non stop driving the car.
I have never though a car could be so refined and so enjoyable to drive. You guys got it made with owning a benz.
Its already a bit dirty
But nothing a wash won't help with.
Here it is.
Sorry for the bad quality pictures. My S4 doesn't like low light situations I guess. Hopefully I will go take some pics with my buddies GLK today.

So happy for you man! You are going to love owning a C-Class. The ride is excellent (particularly over long distances) and it has plenty of pep, especially if you use the console shifter.
I grew really attached to my car during the time I had it and am definitely getting another one in the future.
Do you have the lighting package on your car? I can't fully tell based on the pictures since I had the pre-facelift model.

Thanks man. Yea i love driving it and especially the trick to hold the shifter to the left untill it drops you to the passing gear and the car just goes. Absolutely in love with the it.
And yea I got the lighting package on it. Im so intrigued about the auto highbeam assist and the xenons and how they work.

I have the lighting package on my new car. Love the way the lights turn to follow the curves. I have yet with the high beam assist get the high beams to come on. Had the car 2 weeks now, have 1,000 miles already.
I have read the manual and have the auto high beam set up, but the highs never come on
Might be a trip back to the dealer, trunk also opens too fast and have to slam it to make it close. Would think just a adjustment to the springs

Congrats and welcome to MB ownership! I'm trying to start up a MB group page for Edmonton and area so if you're interested send me a PM. Got a few guys together so far. Also, there's a couple car groups that meet at United Cycle Tim's almost every night if you're interested.
Cheers!
Cheers!
