2001 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C320 Elegance review from UK and Ireland
"A seriously quick car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bonnet out of alignment.
Heated rear window burnt out.
Loose near side headlamp.
Parking brake sticking.
Suspension links knocking.
Corrosion on one alloy wheel.
Front fog lamp taking in water.
Leather auto transmission gaiter holed.
General comments?
This is a very rapid car and I love the way it drives.
Despite the faults listed, I still am very happy with it.
I would not have expected these sort of problems on a £30.000 car.
The dealers have been very helpful in rectifying the problems.
