Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate (2014 - 2021) C 200 SE 9G-Tronic Plus auto (06/2018 on) 5d Owner Review

The car is smooth and relaxing to drive. Its very well equipped even in SE trim. I mostly do short trips hence the mpg but it will go up to around 40 on a run. Rear camera is great as it has a cover that keeps it clean and opens when reverse is selected. Mercedes are expensive to run with annual servicing but you get good service and international breakdown and recovery. Lots of interior space with good cubby hole space. This is a very easy car to live with. Compared to a BMW 3 series the Mercedes is roomier and for day to day ownership more relaxing. I say this from experience having a 330i bmw but I have to say that is cheaper to service and better on fuel. If I had to have just one I'd have the Mercedes. The artico seats look and perform like leather so no need to upgrade and wipe clean with kids. The interior overall is hard wearing apart from the shiny console plastics which may scratch if you are not careful. Overall this is a quality motor. Previously had the 200 sport estate with the 2 litre engine which was less economical and the 7 speed auto was not quite as smooth. This 200 se estate has the 1.5 litre with the hybrid boost system with a 9 speed auto and it has not lost any power over its predecessor.
