Mercedes-Benz C-Class Saloon (2007 - 2014) C250 BlueEFFICIENCY Sport 4d Auto (2011/11) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Gives an air of class and quality.

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

They all like it, even the one that said Mercs are not good looking cars liked! (yes, on the day I got it!).

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, subject to terms. Had no bother, enjoy the car. Not had one squeak or rattle. Doors close with reassuring thud. Feels well built and solid. Comfortable cruiser.

What are you likely to buy next?

I wil look at Merc range again, love look of new A-class but may be too small. E-class might fit, but Audi A6 or BMW 5-series too ideally.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

March 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

Funded via contract hire: very good value for money.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Contract hire deal was very attractive. It helps to know people!

What was the dealer like?

Poor. Sent car up to me with wrong number plates on. I have never had an apology, not evn on compliment slip sent with correct plates which I put on myself.

What's it like to drive?

Can be fast! Very relaxing to drive but notices some rough roads too much due to sports suspension.

What's it like to park?

Easy. Parktronic front and read really helps. Frequently told by passengers that a gap is too small and then reverse into it.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing has gone wrong at all, however, the car frequently seems to move a little after applying parking brake having reversed up drive. Was concerned at first but got used to it.

What's most practical about your car?

Easy to drive car with power if required.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Cruise control.
