Advantages: None Disadvantages: Timing Chain Slips at arounf 70,000 miles

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 ...
