C350 or C300? - Benzworld.org

eXists · 01-09-2008, 04:01 PM

Planning to order one very soon, is the C350 worth the price difference? Only Test drove the C350 so I can't really compare.

Thanks a lot!

congrats. my reply to you is my first post! i owned an A4 prior to picking up my 300 sport. compared to the A4, the 300 is much heavier and slower. i did not test drive the 350, but from what i understand, there is a noticeable difference between the two. it really depends on what you are looking for in the car. if you want something truly "sporty", i reckon you should get the 350if your wallet can stand the hit.

Thx for the info, I can afford the 350 and most probably going to get one but I wanted to get a feel about owners of each and what are their thoughts.

Congrats on the 4matic! I live in the DC area so weather is not that bad, rarely snows so I should be ok with rear-wheel drive.

for what it is worth, some folks think the 300 is quick.

It is quick. A very nicely engineered car.

having driven the C300 & C350 back to back on test drives, the C350 does have a little more "bite" in the acceleration and in the turns. My wife and I could definitely tell the difference between the two. Is it enough to warrant the price difference? That's something for you to decide. if you haven't already, go to the dealer and test drive each one back to back, you'll get a feel for what I'm talking about.

The C350 is not blinding fast compared to the C300, I mean its not like driving a C300 and then driving a AMG63, but there is enough difference that the car feels a "tad" faster".

for your reference. which to buy and why 300 vs 350 it's not just the engine - MBWorld.org Forums

i have listed the differences between the two. i only listed the differences between the two that can not be added as an option from the factory.

It's not just the power, it's the refinement with which the power you summon is delivered. My thoughts on the two cars can be found on this thread in another forum:
