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.

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.

Trying to determine if I will regret not buying a C450 with the biturbo V6. My budget will allow either a 2016 C450 or a 2018 C300. The biturbo V6 is a huge expense, so I’m wondering if it is worthwhile? It seems like a 2 year newer car with a quarter the mileage would be a better long term choice. Thank you.
