2009 Mercedes-Benz C300 Review

The Mercedes-Benz C300 is what you would call an entry level luxury/sport sedan. The base C300 starts around $31,000, but has quite a bit going for it with the base sedan. They certainly didn't take a Hydroxycut to the features for the entry level price tag. It comes with a V6 engine, 6-speed automatic transmission, 16-inch alloy wheels, power sunroof, dual-zone climate control, 8-way power front seats, 8-speaker sound system with auxiliary input and Bluetooth capability, leather multi-function steering wheel with tilt and telescoping functions, automatic halogen headlight, and trip computer. Hardly a bare bones sedan.

A great review out there spiced it up a little before taking it out on the road. Got the price up to over $45,000 adding such perks as Steel Grey paint and black leather upholstery are extra cost items at $720 and $1,570 respectively. The iPod integration kit costs $375. TeleAid adds $650. The dramatic panoramic sunroof over the rear seat goes for $1,050.
