Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate 220CDI Manual 2002

2 star review

We were promised high re-sale values, which on selling for replacement in March/April 2008 have proved false. We bought this as a final car to last through retirement, but that dream has been shattered by the very high maintenance costs. Frequent costs include several sets of injectors, several sets of suspension bushes, too many to count attempts to replace correctly the footbrake ratchet mechanism and constant tracking adjustments (probably due to road conditions) but nevertheless very costly. Not good seat support for passengers when getting a move on around bends. Good points: 50+mpg @70on motorways, 55mpg+ if you drop to 65mph on excellent cruise control. Towed caravan very well. Really nice as drivers car till you pay for servicing and take depreciation into account. 2* rating based on costs - would be 4/5 otherwise.
