a possible breach of the trade descriptions act

Good luck and stick to high performance, wheel spinning, neck breaking diesel power

Jornalistic licence sir!!!

Pray say what type of car won Le Mans and was it a record distance?? Just sad it wasn't a Mercedes-Benz

It's funny, my brother had a C180K yesterday as a courtesy car too, whilst his E270 was being serviced.

He too was a bit unimpressed. Even more so when the A/C started spewing out what appeared to be dry ice and was in fact the refrigerant gas, because shortly afterwards it packed up. This on a 6000mile 06 plate car with black paint and black leather seats, with temperatures above 30 C.

ok...

Lets put it another way ..

If you think the C180k is slow , try an E220 CDI and you will soon learn what slow is !!

Anyway, I got a nearly new C180K Sport saloon as a courtesy car, Hmmm, not very impressed with it. Don't get me wrong, it's better than the usual Corsa you get and I am grateful to be offered a car at all.

But, I think this car is an emabarrassment to MB. It,s uncomfortable, bumpy, noisy and slllooooooowwww!!

.

Well,what have we got here?

A badge-engineered MB assembled in South Africa,by a part-owned American company,with a Japanese engined-Mitsubishi powerplant...

Hardly the "engineered like no other ", product we`re led to believe is it?

I haven't driven one , but I'm sure you would revise your opinion if you tried something like a W123 or W115 200D , or a Ponton 180D .

Some of these cars had a top speed of only 70 or 80 mph and a 0-60 time well over 20s !
