2001 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Classic review from UK and Ireland
"Smooth and eye-catching cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Kinked washer hose on delivery - windscreen washers did not work.
Wind noise around front passenger door - has still not been corrected after three dealer attempts. I've given up now!
General comments?
An elegant and attractive car that is a pleasure to own and drive.
Engine sounds rough when pressed, but is smooth and quiet when cruising.
Experience with main Mercedes dealer was disappointing, due mainly to an arrogant and unhelpful attitude.
