Mercedes Benz C300 and C350


My next car? Maybe and maybe not. I've been researching these 2 C-Class MBs for quite sometime now. The C class is quite affordable for the working man like me. The E-Series is too much (in the 50s) and the S-Series is OMG.

C300 when equipped with all the bells and whistles costs around $38K and the C350 starts at $35K and well-equipped at around $42. Both are powerful sleek German cars but Consumer 
Reports gave these cars below than expected results. The Altima and the 
Accord fared better.  However, branding is a different ballgame. The MBs are valued more than the Nissans and the Hondas. Let's look what the experts are saying about the C Class.
