2015 C300 Sport
Mine is a 2015 Sport. It's definitely a stiff car & I've had it tripod on me going up a steep driveway at an angle.
Swapping to non run-flats made a significant improvement in comfort at the same PSI.

On smooth roads, it's very comfortable, but on broken pavement & lesser maintained roads, it definitely lets you know it's got the sport suspension.

Not sure if the W205 Airmatic is a big difference, never driven one with it.

Yeah I built mine specifically to get Air based on my test drives of cars with both the sport and base suspensions, and difference wheel sizes. It definitely feels more like a Mercedes on the air suspension in Comfort mode.

2016 C 300 4matic Lunar blue
If you had transitioned from a GLA250, you would be a lot more appreciative of the C300.

buying a used c450 if your budget allows for it will always be a better deal. regardless of upkeep. if you buy a 2018 c300 depreciation will be a much larger loss of money than the upkeep of a used c450. just consider all of these factors. dont expect a c300 to be a c450. with that being said, the c300 is a great car for what it is and should not be compared to its amg counterpart because it'll never measure up as it is not meant to.

massively disappointed for reasons I will post in another thread. The short answer is that the make and finish are cheap with many corners cut - not up to par for a vehicle with MSRP $46k. The only thing that didn’t disappoint is the handling and acceleration. To be fair I love my GLS450 so it is really the cheapness of the low end C300 model that I despise.
