Great car and excellent performance. Very comfortable. Good trim level - although most things you have to pay for as an extra - and they don't come cheep. Would recommend to a friend. However as I had one of the early versions had the infamous injector failure - 3 weeks off the road! Did give me a hire car replacement though and a compensationary voucher for Mercedes Benz World. Value for money - german engineering does not come cheep!

3 months old brand new c-class from main dealer, engine replacement.

even worse are is the joke that MB call service - ALL m/b breakdown recovery is outsourced to a third party who are USELESS. On average TWO hours to get someone out to you (and they outsource to cheap local (and in my experience very dodgy) local mechanics - NOT MB main dealer or specialist), takes them another TWO HOURS to sort a replacement car - again outsourced to enterprise who demand credit card deposits etc and whatever is wrong with your car, you have to hand courtesty one back AFTER THREE DAYS.

CARS = badly built and unreliable
MB Hadoffice = couldn't care less, provide appalling service, outsourced to idiots to cut costs
DEALER = refuses to do anything, just says speak to breakdown company, not our responsibility (despite the fact they sold a car that was completely dead after 2500 miles and three months)
