Instead of the A class, why not go for C180 or C230 2000. They also have the economy u are looking for.

Car parts are available and not expensive. However, labour cost is high due to the way the car is built. Most of the engine parts are located underneath the vehicle so any little repair requires bringing down almost the entire engine. Quite laborious. Also, ensure you adhere to recommended fluids.

So it means all the praises for C180 that it has superb fuel economy are all lies. Hmmmm

Good evening, Mercedes gurus. I am about to get a 2011 C300 (non-4matic), I would love to know the pros and cons of the car, what oil to use e.t.c. This will be my first Benz.
Please advice

5w40, 0w40, 5w30. Any is fine as long as they're 229.51 compliant.

Thanks.
Overall, is it a great car? Because I'm still skeptical. I love owning cars for years, so I really don't want any major issues down the line.

Felt like trolling you this morning, so I will! I am willing to give the M112 the benefit of the doubt, but I bet your current car’s suspension can’t even handle half that speed without things breaking and vibrations to rival an angry volcanic eruption. But my Charger and even the IS does that constantly with ease and I have evidences.

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Timblogga: 10:54am On Apr 03, 2021
Please I need reviews on 2010 e350 non 4matic. Any underlying issues, is the maintenance similar to the C-class of same generation?
