1998 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C180 Classic review from South Africa
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rattle in front left door.
Air sensor fault.
Both repaired under warranty.
General comments?
Very underpowered when loaded and AC is in use. Poor gearchange. Good lights & wipers. Noisey AC and heater fan. Good comfort but handling is a bit vague in fast corners. A well built car that should give years of service but more suited to an elderly driver.
