Mercedes-Benz C-Class Saloon (2014 - 2021) C200d Sport 4d Owner Review

This was my dream car purchase having just retired. I particularly wanted the Sport version because it had a better selection of goodies without breaking the bank. As it turned out I paid a very good price for it via a franchised dealer which I didn't expect; it pays to shop around - I had to travel from Kent to the Midlands for it. Overall I am pleased with it because the car drives well and is very economical. I get 40+ mph around town and 70 mph on a long run. It also has all the toys you could possibly want. However, I have only covered 23,000 miles in 3+ years and it has suffered a variety of (potentially) expensive issues from a failed turbo and Nox sensor to electronic and bulb faults. Fortunately most of these occurred within the 3 year warranty but it did mean regular visits to my local dealer which is fortunately within 3 miles of home. On balance I really like the car but regrettably I will probably change it soon to avoid any nasty shocks and big bills.
