Hi, Is anyone running an E300 Hybrid outside the MB warranty period? If so what are the running costs like and have there been any large bills. With 3 x batterys plus the extra running gear I am keen to know what experiences are like with older models. My own car is 2.5 years old and I...

I thought some may be interested in a comparison of the above cars. I must confess that I did like the Hybrid but did have a few issues mostly recalls, but nothing relating to the Hybrid system. The E300 was leased but the E350 I have purchased intending to keep this for a few years...

Hi guys, the time has almost come for my C300h to have its first service done. Given its relatively low mileage (below 10k), all is needed is an A-service, which as far as I can understand is just a bit more than an oil change. Since this is my first MB, I have a few "newbie" questions: 1) Is...

As has been discussed in the 'C350e anyone considering one?' thread, some C350e owners are experiencing problems with their vehicles' plug-in hybrid hardware, particularly related to charging and the battery capacity. This thread and its poll is designed to help document the issues and...

Has anyone got a new C Class (W205) C300h? If so just wondering what MPG you were getting. Just got mine 2 weeks ago and have averaged 50MPG. Which is good but nowhere near the 78.5MPG shown in the brochure!!

Hi, Took delivery of new E300 Hybrid last week. Very nice car, but I do have a few questions as one or two features seem to be different from those described in the manual, which I assume is aimed at "standard" E class rather than the hybrid. 1. Do you know how I can display outside temp? It...

Impressive for a hybrid. From the article: Instead of stock 245 kW / 333 hp (328 bhp), the engine produces an output of 283 kW / 385 hp (379 bhp) at 5,600 rpm and generates a peak torque of 550 Nm (405 lb-ft) between 1,600 and 4,000 rpm after the conversion. In concert with the electric...
