1994 Mercedes-Benz C-Class 180 Classic review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent car, but lacks the character of my old 190E"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very little has gone wrong with this car.
There is a fault in the fuse box which meant that the indicators would occasionally not work - but I fixed this with some cleaning of the contacts!
I replaced the front and rear disks and pads within the last 10000 miles and now it stops like nothing else!
General comments?
This is such a quiet car - when travelling along a country lane at 40mph with the window open you will hear the tyres rather than the engine!
Its not a sports car, but the torque is great - it is best at around 4k rpm - 90mph in 5th.
It could do with more legroom in the back - but as the driver, it's not my problem!
The model has very few toys, but then what it has works very well - you get what you pay for.
