    Bad Points: -auto gear box prone to valve faults if car is driven in the city (at 20 mph the engine will rave at 2k rpm until you will 'adjust' it by either accelerating or moving the stick 'simulating' tiptronic' change
    -electrics and electronics are very poor, with electric surges killing bulbs.
    - parktronic quality exceptionally poor and temperamental,
    -retractable mirrors tend to fail after substantial use (mirror indicators or adjustments)
    - paint of average quality (scratches easily)


    General comments: Great entry executive of excellent design with poor electrics.
    =great design in and out,
    =quality feel inside,
    =great good-feel factor
    =excellent driving qualities - contender with class for BMW

    Only done 66k already had fuel pump fail, now has rumble noise from transmission around 1400rpm, worse when hot very worrying.I took my C Class C220 to Mercedes Benz garage, but no idea, wanted it in for two hours just to look! Also at tick over chirpy noise from front somewhere. Surely at 66k it has just run in? not out!! I bought the car with the prestige marque as I expected many years trouble free motoring. My old Ford Sierra was sold with 118k and engine original!

    Had it 6 weeks now, bought it 6 months old from local MB dealer...excellent service...well it should be shouldn't it ?
    So far i'm very pleased...always wanted the 3 pointed star on the bonnet. I like the manual despite what the motoring press say.... but that parking brake ! Probably fine with an auto, but you need 2 left feet, particularly for hill starts. Quite unnerving the first time I visited hilly Bristol.
    Once you get used to moving your feet like a demented organist , its not too bad.
