For various reasons I am running an A6 3.00tdi quattro at the moment .It is not a comfortable car. I get back ache (where I have never had it in a Merc') after about an hour driving. Tends to be upper back ache just below shoulder blades. Also the sat nav is nowhere near as good as Merc units...

I have a pano roof on my C Class Coupe and it has rattled from day one. Been into the dealers several times for a fix without success over the past three years. Now given up and put the radio on higher volume.Needless to say there will be no pan roof on my new car next year ! If I could give...

Traction will be fine but just remember they will be poor in braking on ice/snow

I used them on my C203 320cdi as a get you home solution. They work well and we live in very rural North Yorkshire where snow can be deep. But they are a pain to fit and take off. You can use them on tarmac (speed limited) for a while and I did not notice any particular deterioration when I did...

Yes, had a very big aquaplane moment in the outside line of M62 with my old C320cdi. The wide tyres do not help. Just have to be aware and take a bit more care.

Transcend DrivePro 200. Get on Amazon for £80.00 . Best buy on Auto Express. I have had mine for a few months and it is good. Get their mounting bracket as an extra though as the supplied one is just a sticky pad.

My car goes in soon for its service and will make sure dash cam on voice record (usually have this turned off)and let you know what happens

You think this forum is bad: just take a look at the Fiat 500 owners forum ! Now they know how to abuse to the point the admin people forcefully pointed out original posters were leaving and not coming back because of the abuse they suffered if their question was perceived as trivial or stupid.

Just bought four Nokian WR A3 for my Merc from Tyreleader.They were the cheapest by far and had superb service. have a look

Thank you all for the replies.Enjoyed them all. Car did 36mpg brim to brim ..not bad for a 245bhp engine in a large car I suppose. My C Class would have done over 50mpg though. I will be back to Merc as soon as I can !

You have to admire Audi interiors .Full stop. Being picky , Merc do better seat controls though ! Other than that , Audi has an edge .

Just done a round 400 mile trip North Yorkshire to Norfolk and back .A roads ,Motorway and back roads .....and Norfolk has some ,very flat, beauty's in the latter respect.i will do a brim to brim mpg tomorrow but it shows 39mpg on computer so I imagine around 35 mpg true. You can punch in how...

We are a partnership so no bik worries . Had a look at A6 avant in Sainsbury car park. It really is BIG.My wife not I impressed either.My car is near end of its lease so financial decision to have to keep A6 ...handing back A6 early will incur £16k penalty so no brainer to keep. But it will be...

Vredstein are brilliant on C class .

I am losing my C Class coupe 250cdi six months before the lease ends. Bloke at work has left and I am to take over his year old Audi A6 avant 3.00tdi S line Quattro auto. Only 6k miles. Loads on here would smile and say yippee . But I like my coupe . I so do not need a car that seats five six...

I will be getting a petrol C205 next spring. Just like quietness compared to my C204 250cdi . Also, with differential in petrol/diesel prices now it seems to make sense

Went into Dealer last saturday. New C Class (saloon and estate) about £2k off list. Not much off any A Class. mega deals on2.2cdi E Class. Sorely tempted as can put a new one on road, fully loaded, for around £350 per month on a three year 10k per year mileage deal.

Never buy a Merc new to the market.Wait for the mid life facelift and then most of the irritations should be sorted. Did this with my W202,203 and 204 and always thought they were much better than the pre facelift car

In local Fiat/abarth dealer in York last Friday getting our 500 serviced .they had a couple of really nice Abarth 500 in stock and we were sorely tempted to change but decided to leave until next March. Sales guy said 200bhp model going to be released soon . Now watch out you AMG owners !!!

Been loads of posts on VW/Audi groups about DSG (same as Merc unit I presume) and not being very reliable. Must admit it has rather put me off buying a VW group car for time being. Hope Merc proves more reliable.
