1996 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C200 Elegance review from UK and Ireland
"A dated looking saloon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Differential oil is leaking, front wheel bearing needs adjusting, CV joints are getting worse.
General comments?
Quite a good cruiser, but getting dated now. Seats are uncomfortable. Dash layout is good and quality is abundant from switchgear to overall finish. Road noise is very quiet.
