2011 C300, about to go have some fun latter.

Sadly its just a C which I don't really like, I think they are cheap. Was hoping for a 2011 E350 which is like 10 times the car IMHO.

I love the look of the new C Class. I would not buy one ever. I have driven more C Classes then I can count.(C43,C280,C230,C230K,C2804M,C43,C36,C300,C350,C32) 202,203,204. They are fun little cars to drive and take corners in and stuff but after about 15min of driving them you get board and you go "ughhh ok. Let me get back into my 126 or 210 and enjoy a Mercedes please

.

We had a new C Class loaner. 2010 C350 and its fun but I could not drive it for more then 15 min because its still average on the inside. My 203 that I have had for about a year now I am board with and will be selling it this summer for a CLK or E maybe.

Fast and agile. Too small for my taste. It doesn't pull like my S600, but feels every bit as fast.

I think 0-60 is a few ticks over 4 secs, my 12'er was ~4.7 secs.

Very small cars they are. Performance is good but your S600 with a simple tune is worth much more having. Cant really compare the 2 cars but I would take any 600 over the C AMG. Luxury vs. driving.

I sold the 600 last fall, good riddance. The wife misses it, but I can do without the $2500 coils, glitchy ABC etc.

Ahhh, yes, dyno mode.

Good times there.

Meh it was OK I wouldn't buy one. Not a very interesting car. IMHO an E class is as low as a decent MB goes. Also the 2010 ML350's are horrible. They feel like a minivan you buy your wife to run around and get her hair done. Not a proper MB truck, well at least compared to the G. OTOH the C was better than the ML I was a decent little car.

A C63 AMG would be interesting.

I think we averaged 8mpg.

lolz, was this in a C350 or C300?

I can assure you that a nice W211/212/220/221/219/215/216/463 AMG is a whole different ballgame.
