What a disappointment. Heard so much hype about the new C class with the "dynamic drive" mods made to the facelifted 2004/05 model and with a crippling company car tax just had to have the C class CDI. Chose Aventgarde for trim level and had Harmon...

Very pleased overall. Nice to drive, economical, over 50 mpg is possible on a journey. Minor niggles: the cd player often does not play my cd's, occasional electrical glitches with engine management system, paint could have a harder finish. I lov...

Within a week the car had a power steering leak which required the steering rack to be replaced. When I got it back, I noticed another leak that turned out to be a fuel leak. The fuel pump was replaced The boot decided to open intermittently and the...

This car has been a disaster since I bought it in Sept 2003 and I'm now trying to get my money back. It’s been into the dealer 5 times to have the same electrical faults fixed The warning lights on the dash come on and sometimes the whole disp...

I've seen so much bad press about this car that I had to try to redress the balance a little.
This car is great! It looks good, drives well, is sporty yet extremely practical.

I really like my car. And if I was going to change my car, I would have another one. It is very comfortable, easy and relaxing to drive, but if you want to pus it hard round back roads it is very accomplished.
The dealerships are a bit hit and ...

I am a first time Mercedes owner, I bought the car 11 months ago at a popular car supermarket. The alloy wheels showed signs of corrosion not long after purchase. I took the car to a main dealer after reading the excellent Mercedes customer care pack...

First time Mercedes owner who regularly commutes between the UK and Holland.

Likes: The C270 5 cylinder diesel is a dream - much quieter than the C220 or the E320 - or maybe just a different noise. The autogearbox is a real peach and the ca...

I have had many luxury cars previously, but on retiring plumped for a diesel mercedes "for reliability and to last until it drops". Alas what a mistake. The car has been a problem from day one.The list goes like this. New back discs (do not leave the...

So far bang on and the best all rounder I have ever owned. Previous to this I have had only BMW's (3's, 5'd), but abandoned them because of the new horrible style and everyday image). The C240 is a pleasure and the dealers very helpful.

This is my first Mercedes and likely to be my last, the whole Mercedes experience is not what I had hoped for For a new car I have never had so many problems, new gearbox, clutch, power steering pump, anti-roll bar bushes, electric window switch, he...

Quality is poor. Bits falling off (really!), rattling trim, electrics dodgy (Left rear brake light goes every 3 months), engine mgt system displays malfunctions that clear if you stop engine and restart. Definite expensive lemon

Press reviews for this car confusing, as all I’ve seen relate to the old engine range and they don’t seem to have realised that the new M271 engines are in place. Often car-mag performance figures listed are for the old range or even mix...

Generally we like this car very much and the panoramic sunroof makes the inside light and cool.
We do have concerns about the sequential gearbox; my wife finds hill starts a little tricky. Another thing we are unsure of is the road handling. We...

Nice, comfortable, reliable, quiet, safe, low depreciation, but just not inspirational If you want a car that will last forever, always start, give great economy then this is the one, but it just lacks something.

Appalling reliability due to glow plug problems. Fuel leak. Turbo failure. Complete loss of power. Most unreliable car I have ever owned.

What a fantastic vehicle. lovely smooth drive, great all round vehicle, highly recommended. cant find any faults at all. After having loads of different vehicles in the past, this one definitely beats them all. Very good on diesel, (not like my las...

Just to pass on that I inherited a c220 cdi at work - had for 2 years - and was the most comfortable and economical car i have ever had.

Purchased from MB Garage when 2 years old. Has been a complete disaster. C-Class built between 2001 to August 2002 did not have seam sealant on the doors so my car is rusting. Engine Management went, door seals, fog lamps leaked, parcel shelf. The l...

Bought the car 2nd hand in 2002 with 11k miles. Car has generally been okay but as it gets older more problems appear. In the first 2 years minor things were fixed under warranty and since then no real issues. Car has now done 50k miles. My main gri...

I owned this car from new, and it excelled in all areas. I bought it just before the 'new' shape was released and therefore got a fantastic deal. It never let me down, and by the time I sold it three years later I had down 120,000. Servicing was qui...

I got rid of this lemon last October 03, always wanted a Merc and went back from changing my new cars every 2 years to a 3 yr old one, all I could afford as same price as a new Primera etc.
It was just a pain in the neck, glow plugs went every 12...

A good solid runner, now with 113000 on the clock and run in now. I reckon it took 30000 miles to break it in. Soild Merc interior, but basic radio-poor. External paintwork prone to chipping and cracking. Will go for another 113000 I'm sure.

Note the C-Class is very prone to eating Catalytic Converters. if your looking for a car that has anywhere near 100,000 miles take this into account. Engines are good for 250,000 but cats run at £800+

Ok, but the dealer network is pretty dire. Inept, suggest expensive solutions when much cheaper ones are appropriate. The car is OK, and has proved very comfortable and fairly reliable (although not as good as Japanese ones I've owned), but the deale...

Generally reliable but had ECU failure when 4 years old at a cost of £1700. Recent service cost £917 which included new brakes all round. I would not buy another Mercedes.

I bought this 6 yr. old, one owner Merc. at 75000 miles. 30,000 miles later, we can report excellent reliability (heater fan failed recently due to a build-up of water in its housing - cost Ł30 to replace with a re-worked motor from a specialist) It...
