You doing well and have money in the bank. Even though you may not and it's marginally more than other cars.

Brilliant - they think I must be raking it in.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Would consider the Merc C Class in the future - but as always I do try to test the market before buying.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Didn't buy from a dealer
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£14,600
When did you buy the car?
September 2015
Did you get a good deal and why?
Yes - Felt for the mileage of 31k and compared to other similar cars all over online - thought the price was really good.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Was wanting an exec car - Test drove the 3 Series, Audi A4 but not a match for the C Class in my opinion.
What was the dealer like?
Very Friendly - seemed genuine enough. Offered a 3 month independent warranty etc. Was happy for me to do all sorts of checks on the car before buying.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very smooth and on long journeys very refined. I prefer this C Class to the BMW 3 Series ANYDAY. My brothers have the 3 series 11 plate and an Audi A5 12 plate. The interior black plastic on the 3 series (head unit, heater knobs etc) is HORRID. Nicer on the Audi A5 though. But the interior on the facelift C Class is brilliant.
What's it like to park?
Parking isn't a problem. There's parking sensors to help.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Not yet. A few squeeks from the driver seat occasionally over speed bumps but nothing to complain about.
What's most practical about your car?
There's a fair amount of room within the car for 5 Adults. The Drivers and Passenger side seats can be electronically adjusted to accommodate most people. The driver seat is a litter lower than usual cars - gives the sporty feel - this is subject to peoples preference I suppose.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Parking sensors work well front and back, Cruise control is brilliant, Command system is fairly easy to use. Sound System even though it's the regular version - is brilliant - you can really feel the bass and sound quality on RNB songs for example.
