Cataltic convertor has failed making the exhaust note very raspy and noisy.
Drivers window has bad scratch, apparently a common problem.
Handbrake ratchet failed.
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.
I'm not a Mercedes fan (...not at all) but I find it pointless to compare a C180 to an Evo. I mean if you want a standard just turn the BMW and Audi's of this era, and start comparing...
Overall the Mercedes C-Class is going to be a much heavier car then majority of the Japanese imports that are 4 cylinder as well. If you need something very fast, I would recommend you test drive the new Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG which is a high performance supercharged V-8 5.5 liter or if it is pricey, then drive the new C230 Kompressor that has a 4 cylinder supercharged engine.
