1997 Mercedes-Benz C-Class 180 review from Australia and New Zealand
"A suave, pristine machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing.
General comments?
This car is a dream to drive, the handling is exceptionally good especially around twisty mountainous roads.
Two seconds behind the wheel lets the driver feel the solid quality, with doors that close like bank vaults and an overall feeling of indestructability.
The car has a very tight feel about it, and in my opinion is far better finished vehicle than the Honda Legend.
The fuel economy is good, despite the 1.8 litre producing an impressive degree of acceleration.
