The C-Class Experience

Advantages: All the comfort of a Mercedes with the performance and control of top of the range exec
Disadvantages: Every features costs you money..if you have to pay BIK tax then you will be hurt by the CO2 levels

...320 equivalent the handling is superior. When you take a corner at a higher speed than you should have done the BMW pulls around the corner, the Audi struggles to hold the road, and the C-Class just clings to the bends as if it expects the driver of the vehicle to have Formula 1 experience. I have noticed in previous reviews that the cost of parts has been highlighted but I really wouldn't state that this was excessive in comparison to the Audi and BMW rivals. Just on par for a prestige vehicle. The only fault I would note on the C-Class is the same as every other Mercedes-Benz. If you want an extra then you have to pay for it! Comand navigation is nearly £2,000, whilst even cupholders equate to an additional cost of nearly £150. Despite the cost implications in my experience there really is no other choice when looking...

Mercedes c180 '94 petrol manual, 150k

Advantages: Realiable, reasonable looks, good handling
Disadvantages: no Air con

...Mercedes c180 '94 petrol manual, 150k on the clock (owned for 4 months) Mercs are class apart! Very good for its age. A very reliable engine! I did around 1000 miles in one trip in less than 15 hours and the engine showed no sign of fatigue. The maximum it can go is 110 miles/hour. Not very fast for a dash between signals. Its rear wheel drive, if you accelerate a bit too much on a roundabout or turn on a rainy day, you'd seem like Jeremy on Top Gear. No Air conditioner, which means you sweat like a pig in summer! around 24 miles to a gallon in city and around 30 on motorway. I can't think of any problem I had with the car apart from a routine Tracking (wheel alignment and balancing). I never had to spend a pence on repair. Overall a very good and reliable car to own. Not as expensive or difficult to maintain as...

Review of Mercedes C 180

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...

Sony Mr-v150 headphones review.

Advantages: samll lightweight, cofortable in prolonged use, cheap price
Disadvantages: none really

...Recently bought myself a pair of sony mdv150 head phones. I picked them up in tescos costing 12 pounds. In the past I have personaly owned about 25 pairs of head phones ranging from the very cheap to the quite expensive. These small light weight head phones are miles ahead of any of the other cheap head phones i Have tried and can even hold their own amongst the mid range ones i have used personaly. Now obviously these are not the worlds greatest headphones but for the price asked there is just no comparison in my honest opinion, they weight next to nothing are comfortable in prolonged use and are so versatile they are big enough to use for bedroom deejaying and small enough to wear while walking the streets without looking like a muppet. Sound quality is great and the cable is long enough to give you movement but not so long that you...

Review of Sony MDR V150

Good budget home or office phone

Advantages: Looks and feels nice, works well
Disadvantages: Slightly awkward menu system

...The Opticom C150 is a standard, corded house phone with a couple of extra features such as caller display, a phone book and a speakerphone. Looks-wise it's a neat, compact package that looks fairly modern but not too fussy. The matt black finish isn't exciting but it doesn't feel cheap or mark easily and does quite well at staying neat-looking. Buttons are clearly labelled and well laid-out. Size-wise, the footprint of the phone is about 20 x 15cm so it really doesn't take up much room at all. It's also easily wall-mountable and comes with the fixings you need to do this. If you tend to roam while on the phone, the 10 foot cable is enough to go for a bit of a wander while you're chatting! In use, call quality is good with clear sound and the receiver is comfortable to hold. The speakerphone is also very clear and works well...

Ford F-150, most endurable, reliable truck out there

Advantages: Powerful, safe, comfortable, huge towing ability and masses of space in the bed
Disadvantages: fuel economy, rear leaf spring suspension

...a full dining set with 6 chairs along with other cabinets and the like. And for camping, I recently had a small motorbike, a full size BBQ, our tent, sleeping bags, wood for the fire, and 3 large ice boxes in the back along with a number of other small bits and pieces essential for camping. The bed just swallows stuff up - I would recommend the bed liner for anyone buying an F-150. I neglected to add this option and as such will be respraying the very scratched bed in the near future. The F-150 combines the comfort and space of a saloon car with the ability to tow/haul enough stuff for 2 families. The engine is smooth and reliable and the interior offers masses of space and comfort. The standard audio setup is more than adequate for those of you that enjoy loud music and there is tonnes of storage space as well as the option for a roof...

Review of Ford F150

What a fantastic and simple camera.

Advantages: Compact, versatile and easy to use.
Disadvantages: Uses batteries very quickly

...of jewellery that are valuable and you wish to have pictures for insurance purposes. You can enlarge pictures that you have taken to look closer at them. Protect pictures so they cannot accidentally be deleted. Index display, two in one pictures and panorama shooting. The software really has two main parts first the main program. From here you can transfer pictures directly onto your PC and save them onto your hard drive. One problem I did encounter is where the saved pictures were actually located, for those of you who are interested the following is where I found them on my PC. The reason I was so interested is I have other software packages that I prefer using for editing pictures, and if I wanted to email a picture it does help to know where it is.

C Boost!

Advantages: A great Vitamin product, easy to take, effective and cheap!
Disadvantages: Lid a bit hard to open on first go.

...Review of Tesco Effervescent Vitamin C. It?s the winter! And yes it?s inevitable that you or someone you know in the family will probably catch a cold have a virus, and let?s face it-with all that running around and partying we always do during the festive season we need to keep ourselves fit & healthy! I am very conscious of mine and my husband?s health and like us to eat healthy and be fit. With busy lifestyles this is of course easier said than done. I myself like taking vitamin supplements as a boost. I was advised by a health trainer to take Fish Oil supplements (being a woman), Echinacea for those times when you don?t feel that great, and Vitamin C for an immune system boost(especially at this time of year). I take a Fish oil supplement daily and an Echinacea or Vitamin C Effervescent tablet once a week. You can of course take...

Review of Tesco Effervescent Vitamin C

C3 or not C3? Definitely not a C3!!

Advantages: Spacious, economical fuel consumption, looks good
Disadvantages: High repair and maintenance bills, unreliable, doesn't look so good on the back of a tow truck!

...After owning my little Citroen C3 for just over 6 years, the time has come to accept that this relationship has run its course and move on to better things. So I have finally part-exchanged my C3 and, hopefully, bid farewell to endless visits to the garage and constant repair bills! Like most relationships, this started so well. It was love at first sight when I set eyes on the C3, which was a relatively new model when I bought mine back in November 2002. The design of the car is quite funky for a small, relatively cheap hatchback or what is known as a 'super-mini'. It has an attractive curved exterior and looks very modern and stylish. The interior is even more eye-catching with its digital mileometer display, smart curved dashboard and adjustable steering column. It certainly looks like a more expensive little car than the price...

Samsung C3050 - Brand New Budget Phone, Packed With Features.

Advantages: Tons of features, listed in review. Good sound quality, Easy to use, Small and Light. Cheap.
Disadvantages: Limited Ringtones, bland schemes.

... Samsung C3050 This is a relatively new phone on the market, being released around February this year. I've had this phone since May, so I have been using it for a reasonable amount of time and have a good idea on all of the features and reliability. Looks The phone has the usual Samsung looks, with Samsung pasted very clearly above the screen on the phone. How many people need reminding what make their phone is every time they look at it? I suppose most phones have this, but it is a bit annoying. The C3050 is stylish and easy to hold, it's design is a bit strange because it has two blocks of silver on the top and bottom, but the case itself is black. Above the bold SAMSUNG sign, there is a tiny speaker if you look hard enough. Below the screen is the general left right up and down keypad, which is a large rectangle...
