The C300 4Matic is a very nice midsize luxury cruiser, but the performance and feel are bland, bland, bland. This car probably has ample power for stodgy young professionals more concerned with showing off their three-pointed stars, but few enthusiasts will pull the trigger on it. Sure, it will haul itself into the triple-digit speed range and run there all day without complaint, but it takes some time to build velocity. And the transmission is really slow to kick down anytime it is asked to get up and go.
Everything else about this car is up to par. The build quality appears top-notch, the new design cues inside are pleasant, and the reconfigured COMAND system is a cinch to use. The C-Class now feels as solid as Mercedes' more prestigious offerings, and the 4Matic system no doubt helps drivers feel extremely safe in all conditions. But this particular model won't make your heart race.
