Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sports Coupe C180K SE 3d (2002/52) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
At over £20,000 it's quite steep for what is basically a three door hatch. The three pointed star has a premium!
Costs
Everything's been covered by three year warranty. Insurance is not too bad.

On the road
Driving
Optional Evolution package improves the ride and handling.

Very smooth and refined. Cruises very well in sixth gear.

Living with it
Reliability
It has been in the dealers on 8 seperate occasions in 17 months. Towed away three times. New gearbox fitted at 2000 miles. Rear seat trim constantly coming away from the seat. Need I say any more?
Image
Looks sweet. I still can't find anything else that looks this good foe the money. Optional Evo wheels finish it off a treat.
Comfort
Okay in the front, but cramped in the rear wiand it only has two rear seatbelts. No good if you've three kids.
