I used to be into street racing, but now I'm more about the power and speed by myself, back roads, etc.
I also like to have the power to quickly remove myself from rolling traffic clots.

Yeah, I am trading in my '17 C300 with about 23,900 miles, as the CPO Extended Warranty is up in July. It already had the repair associated with after throwing a check engine code P052E (about 3 weeks after I picked it up with ~18,000 miles on it!). Used car prices are pretty good now, so time to trade-in.
No other problems with the car, never drove it in the winter, easy miles with my foot not jammed through the firewall. A Service Adviser I talked to said they get a few cars/year that have the wrist pin issue.
Actually I like my '13 C300 better than the '17. Better ride for me. The doors have such a satisfying sound when they close. But the camshaft? sometimes clatters on startup sometimes and a few weeks ago hit a deer
with it. Will donate the car to a local charity, as they will even take cars that don't run. But I will miss that car.
Am getting a 2022 A220. That size car is just more my cup of tea, as have a 2019 A220 and runs well.

Thanks for the reply. I did due diligence on the cylinder head problems. The 2022 has 3y 1m left on the factory warranty, and am buying a 2y or 3y regardless.
Has there been a TSB issued that includes the 2022 MY for the models listed in the 2021 TSB?

Me too, I didn't think I would like the CF until I saw it in person. It's definitely not the vinyl sticker stuff. ;p
No LED vents, but I'm sure I'll fix that.
I have a higher priority list I need to get through first:
The car has Goodyear F1 runflats I'm totally not happy with. They ride like s**t, not as grippy as I like and they are loud as F. With the windows down, it sounds like I'm driving a lifted F350 with mudders, lol. I'll replace these with Michelin Pilot Sport AS4's.
Replace air filters, oil & filter, spark plugs and ignition coils.
Replace brake rotors and pads.
Lowering module.
I'm going to run the stock wheels for a while, so I need 5mm or 10mm spacers and extended lugs to push them out a bit.
Replace the rear diffuser with either a E63 or E53 diffuser with chrome tips.
On-premise dyno tune by Eurocharged Orlando.
Paint correction and coating.
After this I can think about LEDs, I need more money, lol.

I wish you the best of luck with another MB 4 cylinder! My ex-wife has a 2020 A200 and is very happy with it.
Totally unrelated, but am I the only one who sees A220 and thinks of Airbus?

I had a C300 for four days before returning it for a C400. It had 11K miles on it and the engine had some sounds going on that made me concerned, and then saw all the issues with the wrist pins- I coughed up the extra $ and got the C400 with 17K miles on it instead. The 300 had a better option package, but the 400 they had was the same color combo that I wanted and I was able to add a rear camera to the C400 when I added the carplay module. The speed of the C400 became ridiculously addictive, so ultimately glad I did the swap. Ended up slapping a 100K warranty on the 400 so I don't have to think much about anything, and getting a quote today to get new front axles under warranty.
Shopping for a new Benz for the girlfriend now- she wants an X3, but the GLB seems to be much nicer IMHO.
