Summary
What does this car say about you?
I would have said that I drive a quality car from a quality firm; now I know that all Mercedes-Benz seems to care about is their profit margin NOT their once loyal customers.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
It is a very beautiful looking car.
Would you buy this car again and why?
NO. Car has fault but Mercedes-Benz would not accept this. I owned a similar car for one year so know this identical, more efficient car is not right (some 20% less fuel efficient), but Mercedes- Benz say it is "normal".
What are you likely to buy next?
Anything other than Mercedes. I was a loyal customer and wrote a Parkers report last year - "Best car I have ever owned" - this one has a fault! Have just sold it because for me it is "the best or nothing" - as a pensioner have lost £18,000 in 7 months.
