2013 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 220
Summary:
Is it really a Merc?
Faults:
Upholstery started to wear thin on the driver's seat.
Gear problems and loss of power whist driving.
Carbon fuel filter required replacing.
General Comments:
Apart from the 220 engine which had terrific performance in terms of acceleration and fuel economy, this car was disappointing in all other aspects. I downgraded from a C-Class Elegance which was real Merc; with the B-Class I cannot say if it is worthy to carry the Mercedes badge. Or at least not for the price I paid.
I've had the car shy of four years, and in those four years, it was at least 6 times in the workshop. After sales support left me sometimes with question marks. Going to BMW after my B-Class experience.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

It's a Mercedes all-right, but from a different space and time. Your C-Class comes from a lineage of classic sedans, but this B-Class is an all new compact hatch back for the modern times, not always what Mercedes typically made.
