2008 Mercedes-Benz C300 Sport
Category: Car Technology
The good: The 2008 Mercedes-Benz C300 Sport represents an excellent value with a particularly usable cabin technology interface. Its voice command works well, and navigation is hard drive-based. The premium Harmon Kardon Logic7 stereo sounds very good.
The bad: We would like a bit more than 4GB of music storage, and access to cell phone contacts would be nice.
The bottom line: The 2008 Mercedes-Benz C300 covers cabin tech basics and drivability very well, without going over the top. Its imperturbable handling is good but doesn’t generate much excitement, while its cabin tech gets the job done without many frills.
Price range: $32,900.00
Driving Impressions
In a straight line, the new 2008 Mercedes-Benz C300 and C350 are no quicker than the cars they replace. However, the C-Class’ substantially revised chassis has dramatically improved the steering’s precision and feel. There’s now useful information channeled through the chunky steering wheel. In terms of overall dynamics, this C-Class comes closer to the vaunted BMW 3 Series than ever before. Despite its sportier character, the C-Class is never harsh on the road, and gobbles up miles of freeway with aplomb. The C300 Luxury rides a little softer than the Sport versions and has a quieter exhaust system, resulting in a more serene driving environment.
