1995 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C180 Elegance review from Portugal
"It's fantastic!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
2 bulbs on the dashboard in 1999 and 1 stop bulb in 2001.
The wiper almost blocked in 2001 due to lack of lube. Repaired in 10 minutes free of charge.
Radio aerial has to be lubed frequently during winters (avoid oil).
There is a small problem (when the weather is hot) with the front door windows, that makes the windows to make a noise when they move up/down. The glass is scratched by this.
General comments?
It is a very comfortable car that inspires in the driver a high level of security. I had a trip of 600 km under heavy rain and wind and inside the car I felt at home!
