Still love my 2013 C300 Sport!

She's great looking, she's fast, she's fun to drive, she hugs the road.

Test drove one of the new E class models today. Looks beautiful, lots of wild features. When I started it..I thought it was a diesel. Chatter on that little 4 cylinder. Drove it, seemed floaty like an old caddy. Guess I'm used to the nimble C sport. Wasn't impressed.

I liked the new E but not enough to give up my W204. I agree with you wholly!

Same here! I recently drove a new C300 loaner during service of my W204 and was very glad to get my car back. Mercedes seems to loose their classy edge, while adding more and more gimmicky features that complicate the driving experience.

I've driven the new c300 while getting serviced and really don't care much for it. I don't think it's as comfortable, looks as good, or handles nearly as well. Plus, their whole thing on the turbo saying it gets better mileage, I didn't see that being true. Always happy to return it and get my car back 🙂!
