I own this car, it's an Avantgarde Sport, with a 6 speed gearbox. 4 years now; the speed, comfort and handling are top notch, you will enjoy it on a long distance drive.
I used to own one with sport package in silver. It was a great car! It really eats up the highway miles, comfortable to drive with plenty of power from the engine. The breaks are really firm and solid on this car.
I own one too, a 4Matic Arctic white with a beige interior, I absolutely love this car! Still looks awesome today, with enough power to be confident on highways (pulls pretty well though). And most importantly, it's reliable and simple to work on. I change my oil and recently changed the front brakes with no problems. Drives smoothly, has very comfortable seats and I like that car is slightly lowered so you have a lower center of gravity which gives more control in cornering.
The little compartment for the screen is perfect as it helps the vehicle retain longevity.. those terrible screens cant be hidden in most vehicle yet one still needs to configure some settings for whatever.
I was waiting on my food in the car watching this video. I didn’t realize the sunroof opened all the way up. I was pushing the button to tilt it up a little. Learn something new everyday 😂
Infosystem is archaic- seriously dude- this car has the most impressive sound i have heard in any car i have ever owned- if you have the multimedia premium sound. The sound is out of this world- and mine still sounds as good as the day i bought it 9 years later.
You could also get the c200 in Australia. The 1.8 supercharged 4cyl. Never, on any channel can you find a review on this. Maybe its because its an Australian only released car.
Damn, 5K?! Man I wouldn't touch it if it has frame damage or rust. If you pick it up for 5k only, I can't see you getting screwed over heavily... Especially at that price...Id do pre-purchase inspection for engine and transmission.
this is a base option when it comes to comfort/convenient. These models could have been spec with both bluetooth and better speakers. The basic speakers are ok but wont give you a bOMBASTIC experience. They're kinda quite even on boost mode.
I believe they came standard with Bluetooth for phone calls but it didn’t handle streaming music via Bluetooth. We recently bought a 2010 C300 with 71k miles (4matic). I got a Bluetooth to radio adaptor that plugs into the 12v cigarette lighter and just programmed one of the stereo presets to the same frequency… a cheap way to add Bluetooth audio. Note, there is a hidden 12v plug in the glovebox and I moved the adaptor in there so it’s hidden. It works just fine. There is also a “secret” aux plug behind an access panel next to the glovebox. It can be routed to the glovebox easily, but I am not sure what point it would serve.
