Hey guys, I got my first Mercedes in November 2025 and just found this forum. I picked up a 2023 C300 4Matic sedan with the AMG Line package. So far I love it! The interior fit/finish is far superior to my outgoing 2011 Infiniti G37X sedan. I love the touchscreen and find the navigation very easy. Also, the ambient lighting at night is incredible.
I have some questions about the brakes that I will post in the W206 section. Great to be here!

Looking great! What was the deciding factor for purchasing?

It's been several years in the making as I waited for my 2011 Infiniti to die a slow death. I had been looking at a replacement for several years and just never pulled the trigger. I was looking at many options: Genesis G70, Acura TLX, BMW 330, Infiniti Q50. Basically any sports sedan with AWD. It's funny that Mercedes wasn't on my radar. Then, as I was looking last year, I noticed a neighbor's 2020 C300, I took it for a test drive and absolutely loved it. My Infiniti monthly repairs turned into a car payment, so I started looking more seriously. I started looking for used ones on dealer lots that had specific options. Grey or black exterior with black interior. AMG Line Package, and I wanted the upgraded Burmeister stereo and ventilated seats (those were hard to come by).
I ended up finding one at a Mercedes dealer near me, and they also had a BMW 330i with the M Sport package. I test drove both cars and the BMW is a sportier drivetrain but the Mercedes interior was about 1,000 times better. I went back and forther betwene the two cars but ultimately the Mercedes interior won me over.
I have a 2017 Mustang GT for a fun car and the Mercedes is my daily driver to commute around the suburbs for work and it's perfect. I'm in IT, so I love the screen features, Apple Carplay works great and all the other interior features make it a great place to be.
