2005 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C180 Kompressor review from Australia and New Zealand
"Excellent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing that I can find.
General comments?
Mercedes gave me that car as courtesy car for the day when I booked my A190 in for service. WOW, the smoothness and the grunt, got me hooked. hook, line and sinker.
After 2 years, it still put the smile on my face when I drive it, same as my son since the day he got into the car, " Wow! Dad! We HAVE to buy this car."
Got my top speed of 200km/h, no sweat to the car, but me...
That car drives like a charm, solid not heavy like some other cars. Cornering is an enjoyment.
Only thing I dread is servicing time, it hurts.
Other than that, nothing I can fault.
As for patrol, same as my A190. Amazing.
