Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate road test reports and car reviews

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate C250 Diesel Blue Efficiency 2009

This car is a real let down. Broke down twice in 5000 miles. Yes its extremly fast i don’t think the auto box goes well with this engine it would be awsome in a manual gear box 220 with auto is better. Fuel consumption is poor averaged only 33 MPG. Rear brakes were binding smell of burning Brakes Problems; Glove box is rubish no room open it and everthing falls out then you can not shut it. Cruse control is in wrong place to be easy to use, there are to many controls on the indicator stick with wipers,back wiper indicators main beam etc. Hand Brake set up is from 1960 out of date system needs auto release type you can try to drive off with it still on. They havent actualy converted the car to RH drive if cruse was on RH side of steering wheel it might work ok. Lack of storage space in cabin side pockets are to small and they even have the cheak of asking for £18 for cup holders, arm rest is not adjustable in height etc. Boot is rubish they made floor flat and lost loads of space under where spare wheel is Booted version of car has more room. Folding of seats is not good as the cover is attached to one of the seats. Frankly i would not buy another. I got my money back.
