2002 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Avantgarde review from UK and Ireland
"A Mercedes should be better than this"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car arrived with a bad scratch inside the door at the rear.
The switch to drop the rear head rests broke.
A cam sensor failed resulting in a lack of power.
The heated seats both stopped functioning correctly.
Whilst the cam sensor was being replaced the dealer scratched the car resulting in a further two days off the road for correction.
All these faults happened in the first five months and Mercedes do not seem to thin this worthy of an apology.
General comments?
The car is not as well built as the old C-Class.
Although it is faster it is noisy and raucous under acceleration.
The extra equipment added as standard seem to have detracted from the overall build quality.
