Good Points: Great car to drive, it's a car that most people want
Bad Points: The build quality, customer service, built in South Africa
General comments: The build quality of the Mercedes Benz C Class 180 Elegance is good but the little things like the doors opening when your doing 70 mph down the motorway that put me off slightly( had to be taken back). But the shell itself is solid.

I put thousands of M1, M6 and M25 business miles on mine for 3 years, and never used my RAC membership.

I had a '99 Mercedes Benz C180 Elegance Family Car from new and this was a great car...you really felt that you were driving a merc. Then I bought the new model in '01. It felt lighter and not as solid on the road. Everything in the car is flimsy, covers falling off screws, glove-box jamming, arm rest stowage jamming, parking break ratchet snapping on several occasions. Other more serious problems were the gearbox being very sticky and eventually being replaced, with the new one feeling the same ...
