2013 Mercedes-Benz c300 4-Matic
Test Drove c400
Just test drove the c400 black with red leather interior at local dealer. Had sticker of roughly 62,250. Believe only options it didn't have was the air balance and parktronic.
First impressions was that it was a "serious" upgrade to my current 2013 c300 with sports package. Everything is very refined and very clean. Love what they did with the center console. Really enjoyed the floating screen too. Wasn't sure what I was going to think but its truly an upgrade in quality.
Sales rep had me start out in eco as he wanted me to get a feel of the power just being in that mode. It definitely had some kick and would be comfortable driving in that mode any day. He then had me switch it into sport mode and man it was a whole different car. Great kick and the throttle was very responsive at the slightest touch. I could see the 0-60 times being in low 5's for sure.
Overall I was very impressed and hopefully will be able to trade in for one in the near future.

It really is a complete different car especially with airmatic. I have been doing my city driving in Comfort mode and the power and suspension is so smooth, it's pure luxury car. That sport + changes everything down to steering suspension and my god yes the power. Truly a delight to drive in both.
