Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

I absolutely love this car. It was very cheap to buy. There is huge space in the car as you can drop (or remove) the back seat and it opens it totally opens up the boot For a car, that I spent €1,000 on, I get all the high spec of a high end Mercedes car - cruise control, high end procedure for changing a tyre, very roomy, solid doors/door closing, solid on the road, reliability, light stays on for a while after locking and then fades, The lock in the car is the best I've ever had. She's as economical as any 2 litre car I have ever owned She handles really well on small roads and is great on the highway. I would like if she had AC. She does have EC but I don't think it's the same. She was originally an English registered car. As a result the only downside really is a little rust, due to the salt on the English roads, that in a year or two needs to be addressed. It may cost €500 for a really top job on the rust. She amazing!! Thank you Mercedes for putting so much into this now old, very dignified, loyal car.

How reliable do you find the car?

This car is amazing. No repairs bar little things like. Had to replace water pump. Had to get brake pipes done at back. There is a bit of rust because of having been an English car where they salt the roads a lot in the Winter.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

It's a fantastic car
