2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class 200 review from UK and Ireland
"A second rate load of rubbish"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Completely reliable in the time I owned it.
I had a puncture and could not get the alloy wheel off (A common problem according to the RAC)
Tyres are expensive to replace.
General comments?
Underpowered with an unrefined engine.
I'm 6'3" tall and did not fit comfortably in this car. No room for knees or legs.
Dealer service.. ha ha.. what dealer service. The Merc dealers are very arrogant and unhelpful, but they charge for this lack of help.
