2023 Mercedes-BenzC-Class 300 For Sale

Glitchy infotainment, squishy brakes, lack of real buttons/switches. Seven years to bring out a brand new C300 and this is an underwhelming achievement. Took almost 12 months to get the car after placing the order. No prices available when order was placed and certain features were missing when the car finally arrived due to the ongoing never ending chip shortage. Car was manufactured in December 2021 but did not arrive at the dealer until July 2022. Wherever it sat around for 6 months is possibly the reason that none of the finicky touch screen controls work too well. Have no idea why the the first third of brake pedal travel does nothing. 2023 model (with no changes) arrived at my dealer 4 months after I got my 2022 car. Maybe the chips for the features I was supposed to get finally arrived. Adjusting anything while driving is pretty close to impossible and even the “Hey Mercedes” voice control is iffy at best. Lots of cheap plastic trim on the inside. Even the ambient lighting which is one of the best features loses points because of the horrendous reflection in the windshield at night.

I was super excited to get this car due to the looks and tech it has but that was very short lived. After a month of owning it there was a problem with my tire pressure reader, fit and finish issues (parts in my console sinking in), and engine issues. The engine issues were the most annoying as the car kept prompting me to pull over and restart the car and the check engine light has been on since, the car has now been in service for a couple of days and I won’t be getting it back for a couple more days and have been left without a loaner.. not what I was expecting with a new car.

This car has been a nightmare. My upcoming service appointment will be the 4th since I purchased it new in the fall.
