trying to decide between a sexy selenite gray metallic C300 2017 with crystal gray interior, sunroof and Burmeister SS. and a GLC white with light tan interior. I love the gray interior and I know the suv has more space but I don't really carry much in the way of large objects, Ive driven both and love the way the sedan drives. I drive 25K miles a month and and having trouble making a decision. Any advice appreciated. Also the sedan is about 6K less. both are 2017 with about 20K miles.

I don't even see the question. If you like the C300, the way it drives, and it's cheaper...why are you considering the GLC? For 4Matic?

Thanks amber it’s a question of trunk space and practicality

But only you can answer those questions. If you said, "I commonly haul tall boxes," that would maybe mean go with the practicality of the SUV's taller cargo area.

Maybe someone here can chime-in on the relative durability and maintenance costs between the two, but since they're both '17 with the same basic platform, that's probably a wash.

Good Luck!

I _will_ say that I just got out of a White/Tan GLE. As you are probably aware - and is a universal truth - white is really, really hard to keep clean!!! If you're putting a lot of miles on your car, the Selenite is a beautiful color (and might hide the road dirt better/longer).

White hard to keep clean? First I ever heard of this.
Yea a darker color will hide dirt easy😂😂
I have 2 cars black and gray try keeping those clean an hour after the car wash???
My next car will be white to old and tired in keeping dark colors clean every 24 hours.
And mostly my driving is highway.

Seems like you answer your own question here: you don't carry large objects, you love the way the sedan drives, and over the course of 25,000 miles, the difference in highway fuel economy would save you about $470 in gas. (I'm going to assume that you meant 25,000 miles a YEAR, but if you didn't, a CPO with an unlimited-mileage warranty might be the best choice. Not sure if either of these qualifies.)

EDITed my parenthetical a bit.
