Just wanted to drop in...I miss my C300 Sport!
Traded her in last May..2019 for a 2020 GLE350.....which I love! But I do miss jumping into that small, sporty, little fun machine for quick jaunts around town, darting in and out of traffic. Had my 2013 for 6 fun years. Enjoy!

Glad to hear the C300 left a memory behind it. I'm interested to learn how you would compare the engine+transmission combo in the C300 vs the GLE350. Can you please tell us more about this transition? I believe the 350 is now 4-cylinder turbo mated to a 9-speed transmission while the C300 had the M276 V6 engine with the 7-speed transmission.

So, I did. And damn.......was I surprised! We drove back and I wrote a check! No issues at all. That engine is huge. The ride is smooth and silent. It is like a cabin cruiser. I really love it, but I should have kept the C300 sport for fun.
