    Best few quid I have ever spent, opens your eyes to older quality cars.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Avg. 27mpg seems reasonable, cheap parts from specialists, not that you'll need many.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not remotely sporty, excellent cruiser and round town.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Leave it in 'S' and enjoy the ride, not that fast but floor it and you'll be suprised.

    Its different from most of my contemporaries euro hatches. Not as cool as an S class but I love it.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Mines got electric and leather seat, easy to get a comfortable position and drive for hours on end.

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    No security to be honest, but who wants to nick an old man's merc?

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0
