1996 Mercedes-Benz C-Class 280C review from Lebanon
"Strong family car!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Actually nothing serious, but a small rubber ring next to the back right wheel which cause the leakage of fuel, I fixed it for $10, so it wasn't a big deal!!
General comments?
The car has a very good acceleration that when I bought the car it had 15 inch rims, and if you pressed the pedal half way, you must be ready for some fun! Yet in most cases this is very annoying. So I changed the rims to 17 inch and there was a great improvement in the handling without losing much power, moreover, with 17inch rims it looked gorgeous!!
The V6 280C rides much smoother than all the V4 in its class (a friend of mine has a 230C kompressor)!!
It is good a car that you can drive every day without hurting your pocket much because the fuel consumption is fairly good!!
