Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate 220 CDI Estate 2002

2 star review

I had ’52 plate Mercedes 220. I liked the car, it was comfortable, handled well, was quiet, and often topped 40mpg. However, it has to be one of the most unreliable cars I have ever had! It was beset with electrical faults, and went backwards and forwards to the dealer like it was on a piece of elastic! Three out of the four injectors failed at £300 a shot! The car was three years old when I got it with 38,000 on the clock; one owner, full history. I got rid of it at 70,000 and vowed never to have a Mercedes again. Even the local Mercedes dealer felt sorry for me, and we’re at a loss as to why it was so much trouble!

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.
