Mercedes V-Class

Very disappointed with new Mercedes

Advantages: Comfortable, spacious, good fuel consumption
Disadvantages: Poor build quality, noisy, very poor dealer support

...than 1,000 times. Three Mercedes dealers have failed to solve the gear and alarm problems. They clearly are unable do so but have never so much as apologised for their failure. Mercedes helpline is just as hopeless. Their only advice is to keep taking it to a dealer. Having talked to other owners, it would appear that all V Class models are very troublesome. This is certainly the most badly built of the 24 vehicles I have owned. This all all a ...

Review of Mercedes V220 cdi

Mercedes V220 cdi

Advantages: Real Family/ Work vehicle, Very Room, Spacious, and Got the Name-Mercedes behind it
Disadvantages: Let down to Mercedes, Gear box, body rust, Speedo, Rear chairs removal, all problem to mercedes

...a very big problem which mercedes benz had denied the persistence knowledge of it. I have the 2002 model, and the gear box with the speedo both gone on the vehicle. There is the big problem of rust on the vehicle, as every little item ships the paint work. Merecedes needs to also improve on the heating which takes long to heat up this model. The customers' service render by memrcedes dealers is now going down the drain, and needs to be improved ASAP, ...
...off the target. Other facilities mercedes would have added to the vehicle is remote rear door closing as their acquired brand- Chrysler. The diesel engine too is too noicey, it would have been great if it was more paded. The A/c is another bigger problem that needs be improved on. Due to the problem of A/C, the sun roof would have been made standard, as the back windows does not really open, especially in the very hot summers. ...

Review of Mercedes V230

Ambiente auto

Advantages: Spacious, easy to drive, comfortable
Disadvantages: Expensive to run

I love my ambiente, it's so easy and smooth to drive. It has neat fold away tables for the children to play games etc., bags of space for shopping, luggage and so on, and is really comfortable. The low windows means that youngsters can see everything outside, it has full seatbelts on all the seats which in themselves are very roomy, and the rear seats can fit behind each other or facing each other so that passengers don't have to lean over the ...

Review of Mercedes V280

It is a border line buy.

Advantages: Center Console shift stick no on the floor. Two side opening doors. Good visability. Diesel.
Disadvantages: Road Noise and lots of it. Lack of storage shelves. Very heavy rear seats. Braking could be improved.

...it doesn’t feel like a Mercedes and the V220 offers very little extra. The heating is very basic and it takes a very long time before the vehicle is warm. Everything in the vehicle is under powered for comfort. Front and rear passenger climate control would have been nice. Before you buy it, please take some time to carefully consider others. But the two sliding doors, centre gear stick, internal space and seat comfort are a positive. ...

WAs this a waste of money

Advantages: space, passenger seating
Disadvantages: noise, poor brakes, poor build quality

...months ago, having owned another Mercedes for a number of years. This, however, is not a Mercedes quality vehicle. I can not remember the number of times it has been back to the Merc. garage for fault repairs. The most annoying thing is the amount of road noise tranmittedinto the cabin area, for instance it is necessary to talk very loudly for the driver to be able to join the rear passangers conversation. The paintwork is poor, it is very easilly ...
