1997 Mercedes-Benz C-Class 180 1.8

Summary:

A suave, pristine machine

Faults:

Absolutely nothing.

General Comments:

This car is a dream to drive, the handling is exceptionally good especially around twisty mountainous roads.

Two seconds behind the wheel lets the driver feel the solid quality, with doors that close like bank vaults and an overall feeling of indestructability.

The car has a very tight feel about it, and in my opinion is far better finished vehicle than the Honda Legend.

The fuel economy is good, despite the 1.8 litre producing an impressive degree of acceleration.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I to have a c180 elegance model and have had one or two minor problems mainly brake wheel sensors 2 replaced and a water pump replaced, but in my opinion it is not as well built as my previous Mercedes 190E which in all ways I feel was a more solid car.
