Buy a 2012 c350 sport and experience something you've never experienced before. Speeeeeeeeed... |
Re: Between C300 And C350 by segzyndpep(m): 10:42pm On Apr 20, 2016 |
Thanks i am also concern about the parts also..i have a good maintenance culture but i just want to be on a safer side...also fuel consumption..is there a diff between c300 and c350 as regards to fuel consumption |
Re: Between C300 And C350 by king406(m): 11:19pm On Apr 20, 2016 |
Fuel consumption is the least of your worries. Both vehicles are very economical. I don't have any idea of the cost of the parts, but i do know they are readily available. I also know u need to service it with two gallons of Mobil 1 engine oil and a new oil filter every 15k miles or so, which is a bit costly. Also be ready for service B, this is sort of a general maintenance of the whole car, so it's gonna cost u a bit. But the ride is worth it though 1 Like |

Re: Between C300 And C350 by king406(m): 11:39pm On Apr 20, 2016 |
They're both superb machines. Their difference is just the engine. |
Re: Between C300 And C350 by segzyndpep(m): 11:47pm On Apr 20, 2016 |
Thanks so much...will try and confirm the engine power and see which one i will enjoy more and the reason//thanks i appreciate |
Re: Between C300 And C350 by king406(m): 1:06am On Apr 21, 2016 |
The c350 has 302hp. You will definitely enjoy it more. Mind you, the 2012 c300 only comes in 4matic |
Re: Between C300 And C350 by segzyndpep(m): 8:01am On Apr 21, 2016 |
true...thanks sir...i want to know why people are running for 4matic |
Re: Between C300 And C350 by king406(m): 11:52am On Apr 21, 2016 |
Rumours have it that it's parts are expensive. Don't know if that is true |

Where do u live in naija? From xperience,the simpler a car is in naija;the better for you cos of kazeem.That extra power on c350 may not be significant cos both are V6 german machine. Luxury n power are the main thing here,maintanence is not beans,just ask for price of mobil 1 and absorber of the car. |
Re: Between C300 And C350 by segzyndpep(m): 11:06pm On Apr 21, 2016 |

segzyndpep:4matic- permanent all wheel drive (better traction) RWD- rear wheel drive only (more fun) choice is yours |

segzyndpep: Which year are you planning to buy? If it's 2012 as suggested by someone then I'd take it that you can afford any maintenance because a 2012 C300 or C350 doesn't come cheap. Why do you care about fuel consumption. Power and low fuel consumption are not used in the same sentence. If lower fuel consumption is on top of your list then go for a 1.8L engine and forgo the power aspect. Most cars should last for a considerable length of time if it properly maintained. You said that you use the regular Mobil 20W50 for your current car and I hope that's not what you are planning for the 2012 C300/C350. These cars require specific fluids from engine oil to power steering to brake fluid to transmission fluid. You need to be sure that you understand what you are getting into!!!! 4 Likes |
