Mercedes C 200 CDI

MERCEDES C220 CDI HAS FLARE AND COMES ABOVE AVERAGE

Advantages: SMOOTH RIDE, HANDLES WELL , PRESTIGE BADGE
Disadvantages: NIGGLES CAN BE EXPENSIVE ,BUY THE FACELIFT MODEL

When I purchased the Merc back in late summer I did a 200 mile round trip as the spec I was looking for at the right price could not be found in my town.I stumbled upon an Avantgarde 2001 y plate model with full stamped history at 80,000 miles on the clock and with the blue paintwork it was exactly what I was looking for at £4,800. It was cheaper than most of the first newer shape C-classes by about a grand so well worth the travel out up to Liverpool from a guy with a debt problem......hope hes got things sorted !! Anyway, I had owned two A-CLASS Mercs and new what too expect from the larger C- class.The overall stance of the car always looked good with that Mercees badge popping up on the bonnet and I knew my nieghbours had a peek out of the curtains when I first parked it on the drive. This marque has always had an air of class ...

Review of Mercedes C 220 CDI

One Year with the Mercedes C270CDi

Advantages: powerful engine , good ride quality , luxury interior
Disadvantages: modest fuel economy

The car was bought new to replace a very temperamental C220CDi which gave trouble over its four year life. In the revised C class the C270 engine offered additional power and a much improved interior style. I have found a great improvement in every area to the previous model , and build quality is now up to Mercedes standard. The safety factors are excellent and I have benefited from both the ESP which electronically corrects potential slides , and high braking quality. Roadholding is superb and the engine power comes in rapidly and smoothly across the range . Servicing costs are reasonable and only come round every 15K miles , although fuel economy is not a feature. If you are considering a compact executive saloon this model would be a good choice . ...

New Mercedes C Class Does the Stuff

Advantages: Elegant, Refined, Smooth, Powerful, Economincal
Disadvantages: Size

On recently becoming the proud owner of a new 54 plate Merc C220 CDi. I can firmly say that I have not been disappointed. The new model Mercedes has some subtle tweaks and improvements from the earlier model and delivers a very comfortable ride. The diesel engine is suprisingly quiet and refined and has plenty of power for both motorway and town driving. I drive a minimum 300 miles per week, and have found the level of comfort to be greater than that of the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4's. The level of specification is also higher with more extra's as standard. A must have for anyone buying the C-class is the sport pack. It offers in my opinion exceptional value for money and a whole host of extra's. For company Car drivers the C220 CDi has the benefit of being EU4 compliant and so will collect the bare minimum in co. car tax due its ...
