Excellent video review of C300


27 minutes long, but worth it. One of the best overall reviews I've seen yet.

Another round of ICE
Wow.....A+ for detail and thoroughness. Impressive delivery in situations where clearly off-prompter, although helped by those quick cuts. MBUSA should post a link on their site! Better than some of their own materials! He really loves the car, and with lots of good reasons. But, (minor detail) had to chuckle at the rationalization for the iPad screen, which he will likely have to walk back a bit when the new E debuts, likely looking more like the new S interior.

Interesting to watch, and that guy fit in the trunk?! Thanks for posting. Would have personally liked more talk of the impressions of variations of options/suspensions/tire set ups/engines but they maybe only gave him one car to test. Also enjoyed the roads and views, looked like a fun place to take out the new C, assuming Washington state. I can see why MB had them do the test there.

NY Times also has a good review, but not as thorough:

Funny how he descibes the fake leather when the test car is equipped with the real thing

I think the C300 is fast enough for me but did the first reviewer say 0 - 60 in 5.75sec on the 2.0l Turbo?

In one of the other threads, someone mentioned that the Radio button's font is off, and that's the first thing I noticed in the first video...DOH

Great reviews both, though. Thanks for posting, guys!

Alex on autos is my favorite auto reviewer out there. Extremely thorough and updates his site with a new video once a week (usually sundays)

Is Alex's tester special (I noted the manufacturer plates) or does every C class get a high visibility jacket? I thought that was a euro only thing

thanks for posting this. I didn't see this thread because I reposted the same video (in the car.com thread)

you know what I just realized in this review... at around 3:10 he mentions "synthetic leather" and says it's probably better than the real stuff

however, isn't that the cranberry leather package. You can see he has ventilated and heated seats, which is only available with the "real" leather.

Well he's right in a way ... the real leather does look and feel just like leather.

Ha.. I intentionally looked for that as well after reading that other thread.. I guess they're all like that, unfortunately.
