2005 Mercedes-Benz C-Class c230 kompressor review from North America
"Just an OK car for a mercedes"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sunroof rattled.
Cup holders had poor design.
Armrest broke many times.
Car was out of alignment from factory pulled to the left.
Cigarette lighter stuck in never came out.
Glove compartment light works when its wants.
Cd player broke after 6 months would not eject cd.
Check coolant level came up constantly after a few months of owning car although coolant level was fine.
General comments?
Very bad blind spots comfortable ride cruises at 16okm/h without knowing. strong engine very peppy on lower rpms also. services were very expensive $200 for an oil change and a car wash. they would not let us do the oil change or they would void the warranty on the car. tires are horrible in the littlest amount of snow got stuck lots of times going up the slightest hill. only thing really nice about the car is the panorama sunroof the roof is basically all glass.
