1998 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C180 Esprit review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drivers side electric mirror went at 20,000 miles.
Boot lid refused to closed at 20,000.
Offside rear passenger door kick plate fell off.
General comments?
The car is very underpowered and auto box does not help.
Drivers seat is very uncomfortable with little room between the steering wheel and your knees. It would help if the steering wheel was adjustable.
Rear passenger space very tight for three and leg room is poor.
Glove box is a joke.
Windscreen washer tends to freeze over very easily and takes an age to thaw out.
I think this is very poor value for money and would not buy one again.
Car cost £24,000 with Sunroof and Autobox as extras which is a lot of money for not a lot of car.
