Faults:

It gets a bit dirty every now and then.

Wat a car!

I've owned lots and lots of car's!

But this has to be one of the best.

It's not the most expensive or fastest!

But overall it provides a service second to none!

It has the looks! the presence! the reliability! the performance! the overall feel good factor to make this one of the best cars I've ever owned!.

My particular car is a 300 CE AMG the mechanical specification of the car is as standard, but the body and wheels have been treated to the fine improvements of AMG thus making this car truly remarkable.

Both to look at and own.

It runs and drives with the unbelievable reliability and feeling of a Mercedes. (FROM THAT ERA! BEEN TOLD THE NEW ONES ARE NOT THE SAME! AND HAVING PREVIOUSLY OWNED A C CLASS FROM 1997 I MIGHT HAVE TO AGREE) Yet has a subtle hint of something a bit different that comes with the enviable AMG upgrade.

As I've said earlier I've owned many cars in my time including BMW M series and Porsche as well as the best performance models main stream manufacturers such as Ford,Vauxhall and Volkswagen can offer many of with have cost me more money to purchase than this one, but none come even nearly close to matching the overall owning experience of this car!

So in short what I'm saying is

I couldn't be happier it's cost me less it gives me more and ten years down the line (not that I'll get that far without falling victim to another crush!) it will be still a better car than any previously mentioned!

But you can rest assured watever my next serious crush is it will to make it as good as the one I currently have it will have to be from the shining silver star!

Of course the letters (AMG) after the name will obviously help no end!

Faults:

Automatic transmission brake band broke.

Ignition lock broke.

General Comments:

The best car I've ever driven.

Very comfortable, especially the seats.

Very little noise.

However I find the motor a bit gutless, but very impressive for a 2.3 liter still.

Faults:

The thermostat housing cracked and the upper radiator hose blew off in Ottawa (think snow and cold) in February. Good thing I noticed. The part was $24 CND but the dealer wouldn't fix it for days. I took the part and fixed it myself (it's been replaced with an all metal part that won't crack again). I have water pump and coolant tank leaks but they are not critical yet. The engine burns a lot of oil but works well. The rear window has stopped working. Generally this is a robust car. Solid. A little rust. Relatively good and has needed little in terms of repairs in the year and a half I've owned it.

General Comments:

Good car. Solid and reliable.

Faults:

The 4Matic (4-wheel-drive) is beginning to cause some troubles (leaking).

General Comments:

By far the best and most reliable car I have ever owned. Even smoother and more comfortable than my former Jaguar XJ6 4.2 Series III. Looks almost new after 270'000 km.

Faults:

Replaced radiator, Air conditioning compressor.

General Comments:

Has 217,000 miles on it and still running very well. I want to trade it but the wife says No Way!

Faults:

Low mileage car (75,000 from new). No faults except leaking vacuum pipe this year. Otherwise regular servicing only plus tyres, battery and brake pads.

General Comments:

Excellent estate with reasonable running costs and still appears as new.

Dealers at Shrewsbury (I have no connection other than as customer) are incredibly efficent.
