 Pinch.'s recommendation | |
For a small car it is probably one of the largest I have ever seen interior wise. The trim is finished off well and it has all the modern day gadgets.
Parts & service I'm afraid
Mercedes have become an institution over the years, yet appear to have become more affordable to the working class person. When deciding whether to spend my hard earned cash on such a luxury item I considered the alternatives. Ford, Vauxhall, Fiat, Nissan Etc. When I saw the Mercedes I fell in love. It is a practical, versatile and well refined piece of engineering. It handles well; it drives itself (Well almost). It came with cruise control, speed limiter(for those nasty speed cameras), CD, aircon, alloys, automatic, loads of safety features: Airbags all round, traction control, stability control and an "L" shaped engine that goes under the car in an accident. Let's hope that when it goes in for its service I remember this while crying into the dealers invoice?
