Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate (2008 - 2014) C220 CDI Executive SE (Premium Plus) 5d (2014/63) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I think if you choose Merc over Audi or BMW, then you're instantly thought of as more intelligent and discerning. Or maybe I've just been tail gated by way too many Audis and Beemers.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Co-workers are a bit jealous I think. I don't know why, it's not mine.

Would you buy this car again and why?

If I was in the market for a new car, I would certainly put Merc on my list. It looks great, sounds great, drives great. My only gripes are the handbrake. I hate it. I can't tell when it's on. I've looked for the handbrake sign on the dash and I can't see it. I prefer a traditional ratchet handbrake. You know it's on and working.
