 Jeremy James's recommendation | |
Good looking van with good carrying capacity and a certain amount of class.
Not as good to drive as VW and Vauxhall equivalants. Rust appeared after 12 months, poor dealers.
Poor after sales service upsets me the most. Things were much better when Mercedes Benz car dealers looked after light commercials but MB know best!
The front tyres scrub out on the edge due to the tyres folding under when turning on a full lock. You can almost feel the rubber rolling off, which is due to poor steering geometry design. I have improved mine by fitting springs from the people carrier which has lowered the suspension and increased the negative camber. The side loading door hinge has colapsed, I have had two new sets of number plate lamps, and now I have to address the rust problem.
