Mercedes-Benz C-Class Saloon (2007 - 2014) C200K Sport 4d Auto (2007/57) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Hmmm? That I was afraid to spend my money on an A4?

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

They all like it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes. It's motor is stronger than the 320, it's boot is larger and it does not need 98 octane Petrol. The A4 is FWD :-)

What are you likely to buy next?

We will replace our Toyota Yaris. Maybe with a Daihatsu Sirion Automatic.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£30,000

When did you buy the car?

January 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

I got a fair deal. The car was bought from Germany, through the official MB Used Car Network on the net as a Jahreswagen.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

OK at first, but it turned out their claims that the car was not damaged were not honest. The bonnet had been repainted in parts and there were some scratches not easily repaired. The dealer has not responded to my queries, and MB Germany plays deaf!

What's it like to drive?

Surprisingly sporty! Excellent handling compared to the Mondeo we owned before. Very comfortable in journeys, but the sport suspension is a tad stiff on rough tarmac and over potholes. The motor and tranny are excellent, as well as the brakes.

What's it like to park?

Another surprise, parks like a smaller car, and the Parktronic really works.

Have you had any problems with the car?

There was a leak on the A/C and I had to get some pipes replaced. Fortunately it was repaired under warranty.

What's most practical about your car?

The Automatic Transmission with the compressor motor work like charm!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Panoramic Roof, Bi-Xenon, Automatic Transmission, Parktronic, Cruise control, Rain Sensor, Automatic Lights.
