1996 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Esprit review from UK and Ireland
"Good looks, Poor performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cataltic convertor has failed making the exhaust note very raspy and noisy.
Drivers window has bad scratch, apparently a common problem.
Handbrake ratchet failed.
General comments?
I quite like the look of these cars, Mine has lovely full leather interior, with privacy glass. She looks really nice, I just wish she went a lot better.
When I say this car is slow of the mark I mean it's really sloooooowww.
I wouldn't by another one after this, I would definatly go back to the japanese car's. This compared to my previous mitsibushi evo... the merc just dosent stand a chance in any department.
Why did the make it so slow.. Dissapointed.
