Great car and no problems

published

I suggest Daniel S needed to do more research and check ups before he bought that car, he claims only 6 months before ?
How did he verify it only needed 1 "top up " of oil in the previous 15,000 k's ??
I suggest the car was NOT in fact properly serviced from what he has said.
He used the SAME servicemen as the previous owner ??
Bad move.
These cars are amazing when looked after by competent Service Agents..preferebly authorised by MB.
I have a C200 2005 Kompressor Elegance with 116,000 k's on the clock ALWAYS serviced by the Agent and NEVER a problem !!

Purchased in March 2021 at Mercedes-Benz Dealers for A$10,000.00.

Super slick drive - luxury you can afford!

published

We use the car for everyday driving and find it such a pleasure to drive. The steering wheel turns so effortlessly (you won't know what I'm talking about until you experience it), it has mind boggling good fuel economy (for diesel version which we have), and service is required very infrequently compared to many other cars.

These cars hold up very well long term without risk of costly repairs.

As an everyday luxury car, you can't go past this!

Purchased in July 2021.

Very disappointing

published

Started off as such a wonderful drive but after a few years there was a problem with the engine. One of the engine parts (we learned) was known to fail over time. The cam shaft adjuster for the m271 engine is made from cast iron and it’s operation against the single-row steel timing chain causes the teeth to wear prematurely. The teeth can break off. This can lead to dangerous and serious engine damage. It cost $10 000 to fix. The component design has since been changed and is not a problem in new vehicles. Will never buy Mercedes again. Very let down.

Good drive

published

Love our C200, it has turned into our family car, fits 2 car seat in perfectly. Loving the performance of the car, the car is very quiet when we drive on the highway. Running cost is quite low compared to our previous car. One of the dislike about this car is without voice control which is very common among new cars.

Is this a good car?

published

My wife's 2009 was bought brand new and has had to be towed at least twice now for critical electrical failures. Sure it is a beautifully designed car and performs well but when its service costs reach 2500 a time you expect the car to be faultless and trouble free which it isn't. Its diesel engine is fantastic but over time I feel that it is harsh and very smokey. Would not recommend another.

C200 (2011-2014)

I need to fit three child seats in the back seat. Is this an option? I was upsizing from a smaller MB, but have realised the back seat width is negligible at 140cm.
Would love to hear some feedback either way. Thanks.

I personally never had to fit child seats however I can guess that two would fit easily but the third one in the middle might be a bit of a squeeze. The answer will also likely be dependant on the size of the child seats in question also.

C200 (2011-2014)

how would this car be for a family of 5 visiting UK for 3 weeks as a rental car with 3 boys 16, 19 and 21 years old all 6 foot to 6 foot 2 in tall ie. is there enough space for a grown family and luggage. Luggage is only for to and from airport.

The outside rear seats will accomodate taller people because the front seats are indented to allow for greater knee room. However the middle rear seat would be a squeeze for anyone other than a child, largely because of the lack of legroom and the transmission tunnel. There would be no problem with the luggage but in my opinion this car wouldn't be ideal for a big family for 3 weeks because of that rear middle seat. Plus if the driver is tall that seat may have to be further back which will cut down room for that rear passenger.
A (diesel) Ford Mondeo wagon would be better (albeit less luxurious). Hope this helps.

Hi Tony
The rear seats are pretty large my two lads are similar size as yours, three may be a little cramped though. Sounds like you may need something a little larger like SUV or people mover.
