2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK 230 K Avantgarde review from UK and Ireland
"A looker, but a poor quality one at that"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electric Windows do not self close properly, keep opening at the end - Repaired 6 times.
ECU problem twice resulting in misfiring, Car has been away for over a week still not repaired.
Brake Squeal - In seven times, changed all the parts and still no luck, went in recently and was told modified discs were needed.
General comments?
I have owned MB's before and never had a problem. This car has been awful.
I would not by a 4 cylinder MB again.
Quality is not good on newer MBs.
Poor dealer service. Took over a month to book in for a service, by the time had exceeded the service interval.
