2009 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C180 1.6 Komp Spt Blueeff-Cy. petrol
Summary:
The car was OK, but it's an expensive business when it goes wrong. Big price to pay
Faults:
Not reliable. When things go wrong, they go wrong very badly and it's a very expensive job to repair.
The car won't start; the problem was the electronic steering lock problems. A common problem with these Mercedes.
General Comments:
The car is good to drive and comfortable, but not very reliable.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

The Electronic Steering Lock is a known and common fault with the W204 C-class, and makes me wonder why on earth Mercedes didn't do a recall for this. I mean, imagine if the ESL goes wrong when driving the car and the engine shuts down? A very dangerous situation.
