Ive got a MY 16 C300 4matic. It’s been a great car. The turbo 4 has plenty of power

Those reliability ratings are usually during the first few years on new vehicles, doesn’t mean much. Most are due to navigation/tech. Even though I’ve had to bring mine in for warranty work, multiple times and not to mention had a spark plug break on the freeway, I still really really like it. BMW, Audi, Mercedes, I’ve all heard horror stories from each. I’ve heard the worst from Audi, then BMW, and then Mercedes. Recently one of my good friends has an 2011 Audi A4 paperweight. The engine completely pooped out and has to be replaced. Things happen, but wow. I really liked the new A4 with the digital speedometer but people I knew who previously owned Audi’s talked me out of it. TBH I see a lot more older Mercedes than I see Audi and bmw. The ONLY comparable Japanese car company that drives like the Germans is lexus(Well the rwd based models) but I’m not a fan of their designs.

I’ve had my 2015 for about 2 months now and I love it! I’ve had to bring it in for warranty work already but I still love it. Keep in mind this is the internet and people don’t usually come on to say “my car is running great, no complaints, have a great day”. I had a 2010 e550 coupe a few years back that had plenty of power I never used. I loved that car (no b pillars) but I like this one just as much! Get a sport package, lighting package, pano, and distronic if you can.

I have my 2015 C300 4matic for 3 years and it has been very good without any major issues. It is a very well designed car with a very good engine. It has more power than my previous C300 with six cylinder engine. The minor issues I had were not any more excesive than any other car I owned before.

A number of people wrote about problems on this forum, but that is the nature of such forums. I can assure you, many thousands of owners enjoy this car around the world and so, if you like the car, buy it.

CFG is a dumbo. Don’t put any emphasis on his words. He comes into c300 questions thinking he’s the be all end all. He consistently complains about the engine, Meanwhile he doesn’t own a c300.


I have a 2017 4m sport. Besides some rattles in the interior that were taken care of by my dealer in NY. No engine problems whatsoever. I have a dinan piggyback and a bms air intake. I WHOOOOOP cars with bigger engines. If you get lighter wheels, forget about it. The power is great, the engine is reliable and it won the 10 best engines list by wards auto. http://www.wardsauto.com/2017/2017-w...ged-dohc-4-cyl

CFG it’s safe to say you have proven my point.

You have a CLS and a C450. I have a C300. The majority of the owners on this c class forum have c300s. It’s probably one of the best cars I’ve ever owned.

You’re a consistent ********... we get it. Go knock yourself out on a CLS forum or c450 forum. Use your slang and bang on people who give a ****. Or like I said half a year ago, ditch both cars and get an e63 (superior to CLS and c450).

This way, your with your “kind” on an e class forum and out of the lives of the men who can’t afford your CLS and c450 tastes and vacations and wine and popping champagne with your blue blood friends over purple **** carpeting.

haha it’s all good~
If i had a v6 w205 i can imagine how pleased i would be, considering how happy i am with my ‘16 c300.

No problems at all so far (i even prefer its voice command over Carplay(i can check/show off weather radar while listening to music) -i’d only suggest non-runflats b/c you usually gotta replace at least 2 at a time:/
Design-wise, the sport trim(aware it’s not AMG) in my opinion is better looking than competing bmws, audis, alfas, and especially lexus. The interior quality and look seems timeless.

I say go for it, because even tho it may not be a v6, it’s still a merc. (...and we can feel the same way CFG feels, to them “other” companies, haha j/k)

CFG, you’re right the c300 is a gem all around. Engine is a gem as well. Change my mind blue blood.

I’ve spent close to a year with the engine and have had zero problems. There is no wheezing, there have been zero cases. Any claims of wheezing are mere exaggerations of a man with no factual evidence.

CFG has no idea about wheezing engines. Spend two years in Afghanistan and I’ll show you what a wheezing engine sounds like! Ala Japanese, Chinese, Koreans etc.

The install was easy, the only part that is difficult is pulling out the OEM cover/intake tube without breaking anything. I feel definitely more throttle response and it’s not noisy at all. I contacted them about “heat soak issues”, they said if there is any heat it’s minimal at best. I’ve had no issues and good gains. Here’s some photos:

Cool, thanks for the response. Should be getting it by Wednesday. Got the Dinan piggyback last week and def feeling it.

No problem bro. I keep the dinan in race mode the whole time. Next up is down pipe.
