2001 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C320 Elegance review from UK and Ireland
"Not worth the asking price, poor quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Automatic gearbox failure at 8500 miles.
Suspension links at 6000 Miles.
Wheel (Lug) nuts corroded.
Alloy wheels corroded.
Dash air vents broken.
General comments?
It is a very comfortable car to drive, but it tends to spend more time at the dealers than on the road, where it should be.
People who are used to old Mercedes qualities will be very disapointed with the general build of these new cars.
