2004 mercedes-benz C-Class Estate reviews

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate avantgarde CDi 2.2 2004

Bought this car with 48,000 miles on it. It is smooth and a delight to drive, especially with the auto trip tronic gear box. The 2.2 engine has plenty of pulling power and is smooth and quiet. I love the feel of the car and it handles really well. I love the interior. I must admit the boot space seems smaller than I would have liked (compared to some estates I have had) probably due to sloped tail gate but there is more room for passengers as compensation. MPG extra urban is around 35 MPG so a little disappointing compared with my last slightly smaller diesel engine. That said this a bigger car all round and I havent yet been on a proper run to see what its like over distance so the jury is out. Only fault I encountered was a faulty fuel pump, which I think was on the way out when I bought it, I just didnt recognise it until too late (listen for a slight whine coming from the rear of the car sounds at first almost like interference on your stereo - but gets louder!. That said all cars develop faults at some time or other unless your lucky and I love this car and smile every time I drive it.
