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

In their own words

For me, the ride is good though not a plush as I would expect for the money. The Satnav, OMG, Bad so bad. You must pay through the nose and get the upgrade, please do it. I have only just had the nav updated and it is still very very poor. I had a better system 15/20 years ago. I now use my phone at the same time and it outperforms the Mercedes system outright. I have had passengers/clients take their phone out and then given me directions while the satnav is still calculating, now that is embarrassing. Mercedes should hang there head in shame. The gear lever being upside down is poor as well, up for reverse and down for drive? I have the same complaint from colleagues with the same system, so it is not just me. I am looking at BMW just because of the two issues. It drives me insane. Still, the rest of the car is great, love it. I have fitted winter tyres and this has sorted the winter driving. Every one that has been in the all commented on how much they like it as well. The 220D is great, this engine is a gem. 60 MPG is easily achieved on a long run and it has more than enough grunt without the gruff. I would describe the car as a beautiful diamond 1I.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

The standard Satnav is slow, bad, oh so bad. You may also need to consider the air suspension.
