Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate (2008 - 2014) C180K BlueEFFICIENCY Sport 5d Auto (2009/09) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Sporty, Professional, Smart.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They loved the car.

Would you buy this car again and why?

No. Although the car looked and handled amazingly (mechanically it was excellent) the finish and trim and hidden parts are sub standard for what you would expect from a mercedes. Door handle broke and my mechanic looked inside and said the moving parts were PLASTIC! Someone bumped the front grill a little and it broke… the insides again very very cheap plastic.
