That was a quick year! I have put only a little over 6000 miles on the car and other then the tire balancing problem at delivery, haven't had any other problems with the car. No rattles or squeaks, good milage, no wind noise and everything works as it is supposed to, door handle LEDs included. Very pleased with the car and love to drive it.

Congrats!
My late build 2015 C300 Sport turns one year on June 24th, and by then I'll have close to 10,000 miles. It's been pretty good to me so far, a couple door handle LEDs needed replacing, the drivers mid range door speaker started buzzing and was replaced, a right rear tire was replaced shortly after I picked up the car, as well as the trunk spoiler which was mounted crooked at delivery. I've also had a couple reflashes, one of them for a rough shifting transmission around 2nd gear...which as of lately has resorted to it's old ways.
My first "A" service happens this coming Friday, and I'll definitely be mentioning the rough shifting transmission again.

Very happy with mine so far. Had to fix some dash rattles last weekend but otherwise she's been trouble free. On the tranny issue, are you referring to how abrupt the shift from 1st to 2nd is, and how little time it spends in second before up shifting? Mine does that and I thought it was a characteristic of the car.
So when you punch it, rather than winding itself up toward redline through each gear for equal intervals it's like 1st.....2nd.3rd.....4th....5th etc?

Mine does exactly that.. it was short shifting 2-3.. leaving you out of the power in 3rd...
It was (before another TCU reset) smacking gears in 2-3 and 3-2... it seems to have pulled the stick out of its **** now... (not confidence building though)..
Mine also for the forst time shunted the shift into 4th (post TCU reset and after a weeks driving) it was a hard matallic shunt too, i think it was hard enough through the trans that it banged in the driveline..
Its on the list of things to be ignored, sorry i mean investigated at the dealers.. mine also a year old now and first service a week today..
its had about 10 plus visits in that time though.. and i changed the oil and filter after 7 months..

Mine is coming up too. Had my first 10K oil change last week and replaced the wipers. The only issue I've had all year was the front brake pad squeal. My dealer replaced no questions asked.

Congrats!! I agree, the first year has flown by. My C300 will be a year old next week with a little over 17,000 miles on it right now. I haven't had any problems with the car and love driving it. I enjoy my daily commute and it's still a treat to drive it.
