Antiquated navigation system and noisy rough riding run flat tyres
Purchased this MY 17 C250 Mercedes Benz Estate and in our opinion it’s navigation system is from the dark ages and is definitely not user friendly. Mercedes gave us a part number for an update on this system four months ago and the part is not even available in Australia. We spoke to Service And Spares at a Benz dealership and they all agreed that the navigation system is antiquated. Efficiency at its worst. For a luxury car to have run flat tyres fitted, which are extremely noisy, they do not give good mileage and hate rough roads, includ...Read more
ing potholes. We have also found out that the resale value is hopeless, insulting actually. This car was $82000 new and after 18 months have been offered $45000 on a trade. Would never buy or recommend a Mercedes Benz to anyone and I certainly would not deal with Mercedes Benz Geelong ever again.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

great car - fuel efficient and comfortable
car handles well and is quiet on the road, but doesn't have much power.
i dislike the radio controls, they're quite difficult to use with a control knob in the centre console
car has been reliable and cheap to maintain and run (fuel and servicing)
car also takes ULP 95 octane fuel which is a bit expensive

Have discovered the ultimate car. Mercedes Benz C250 CDI Estate.
I purchased a 2014 twin turbo diesel demonstrator equipped with most of the available extras fitted. Essentially at the new car price with all the options free. Have only travelled 10,000 k but in the 4 months of ownership have discovered why Mercedes Benz is such a highly regarded and prestige vehicle maker.
The station wagon (Estate) has surprisingly proved to be a much more convenient general purpose vehicle than my former SUV. Just avoid the pot-holes and rough roads. Traction Control and the other assisting functions seem to keep you out ...Read more

This is the best car we have ever had. We purchased a dealer drive C200 wagon with Avantegarde and Vision Packs. It is just delightful and makes every drive enjoyable. The little 1.8 turbo is incredibly flexible and gives great performance with excellent economy. Everything inside feels quality and built to last. We had the misfortune for our parked wagon to be hit by a hoon doing burn outs when he lost control. The car was hit hard yet all doors opened and the passenger cell was perfect - these are strong safe cars.

2011 C200 Estate Wagon is Brilliant
I traded a BMW 135i M1 coupe on the C200 Estate Wagon looking for a larger interior with the drive of a sedan. Reading previous reviews over the earlier 5 speed Kompressor model the blue efficient revamped body and add-ons have transformed the earlier Estate into a fantastic package. Gold Coast Mercedez Benz was excellent and service was superb.
We got a good trade and changeover price on the beemer so did the deal.
The new engine in the 2011 C200 blue efficiency estate is beautiful. After a 1500km run in period it was giving around 6l per 100...Read more

I agree with you about the foot brake. It is a wretched piece of engineering and lets the rest of the car down. A proper handbrake would be the best solution but an electronic one would do

Excellent
This is the most awesome car I have ever owned. Admittedly mine is over $100K worth with options (AMG kit, vision, power tailgate, electric seats, metallic paint, Sports DSP and 18" AMG wheels) but every one is worth every cent.
Car has never missed a beat and will swallow large loads of luggage with the rear seats folded down.
German engineering at its best. Excellent room in the wagon area. Visual presence on the road. Safest car in Australia. Good fuel economy. Build quality is excellent. Good resale value.
Transmission (5sp) can hunt for g...Read more
