Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Good but you'd expect the buggers to put a cd as standard at this price/class.
Costs
OK, costs are high, but hey its a Merc, not a Dagenham dustbin.
-
On the road
Driving
Wafts along, quiet, relaxing comforting ride.
Performance
Press the panic pedal and watch it go, otherwise nice and sedate.
-
Living with it
Reliability
It's a Merc. You don't expect it to go wrong.
Comfort
Leather seats a must, 80k and not a rattle and everything works.

Security and Service
Security
Later models have immobiliser. Same age Volvo has deadlocks but curiously not on Mercs of this vintage.
Service
Merc dealers expensive. Seek specialist.
