2001 Mercedes-Benz V-Class Ambiente review from UK and Ireland
"Buy one if you want a Mercedes, but do not expect Mercedes car quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
On occasion the car refuses to start, it has been established that it is something to do with the automatic transmission, but a permanent cure has not been forthcoming.
General comments?
The car is a van, a luxurious van, but a van nevertheless.
It has an enormous turning circle, making life difficult in tight parking spaces.
It is only the Mercedes badge that makes it the price it is.
