My first time owning a Mercedes while everyone warned me not to get one. Honestly I've used this car PRETTY rough, and it has held up better than my previous Daihatsu Copen, Civic 2014 and Accord CL7. It's a total workhorse, but alas, the parts really ARE expensive, ans servicing it is quite difficult as well. But all in all, its comfort is just impeccable and better than anything else I've ever drive in this price range. If you have a slightly higher budget for maintenance, I would 10/10 recommend you this car.

Nice looking design and better than the later

Nice looking car,handling is amazing,&at 192 hp it is punchy For a base car(no sunroof) it is well equipped,nice stereo etc But it's a typical European car with "Electrical Gremlins" Recently the bottom ball joint broke while my wife was turning into a car park bay But overall the design is spot on,but i have been told by a Mercedes specialist,they are not designed to last,like the older 190E's So much plastic in them when you start looking around the car Also on the underside of the trunk lid,rust will start there Ours has,but not major to fix Mileage is only 145 kilometers so still good&will get the oil changed in the Kompressor next(vital i have been told)

the best cars on the road

This has been a fantastic car for me from day one. Bought it right off the showroom floor with 3 miles on it and it has been a dream ever since. It gets fantastic gas mileage, handles smoothly, is ultra-safe and is just a superior car.
