What does this car say about you?

No got very bad deal because was meant to be for business but very bad because of emissions, high monthly price when could have bought newer one with better efficiency this car was old shape when bought so dealer needed to get rid.

What was the dealer like?

Very bad my car was broke from minuet I drove out of show room shockers were faulty took weeks to fix then black smoke problems, then poor fuel efficiency the dealer told me I used cheap fuel which I don't I use shell or v-power diesel stopped using dealer and went to their branch still not fixed and out of warrenty dealer called me an idiot basicly too many problems to list car was in garage over 10 time in as many months do not buy cars from MARSHALL MERCEDES BLACKBURN.

What's it like to drive?

The car drives very sturdy maybe catches the wind a little on the motorway but has pleanty of mid range grunt to pull you past the slower moving cars. The gearbox feels like it's working in a different time zone every change is slow and unresponsive regardless of the sport button which I'm sure just illuminates the button and has no other purpose a decent drive but much to be desired if drove better audi 80s.

What's it like to park?

Very easy with the parking sensors they leave you please of room and make parking in the tightest of gaps a breeze.

Parking sensors make parking a dream.
