1999 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sport review from UK and Ireland
"A good introduction to a top Marque"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Boot clip that holds the Warning Triangle kept falling out - less than £3 to replace.
Headlamp Bulb blew after 4 days of ownership - £5 to replace.
General comments?
I love it.
It is very comfortable, and not nearly as bad a performer as I had expected.
I am not looking forward to the servicing costs, but want to maintain the full Dealer Service History.
The cost to buy 2nd hand was very reasonable, and the quality of the finish is great.
