1993 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Elegance review from UK and Ireland
"4/10..will buy Japanese next time"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine ran for 10 seconds after switching off ignition.. faulty fuel cut off switch..£1000 to repair.
Front wiper motor faulty..£400 to change. Wiper relay faulty..£76 to buy.
Alarm has a mind of it's own.
CD jumps when driving over cats eyes!
Radio..never finds a station.. just keeps searching!
Fascia bulbs keep blowing.
Radio Aerial will not retract.
General comments?
This C220 Auto Diesel (non turbo) is excellent on fuel..40 miles + per gallon.
Auto box is superb.
Uncomfortable seating.
Extremely slow.
Haven't had a full month of driving yet without some minor or serious problem.
