No real needs just wanted to update
Being a German estate it looked good plus it was a smaller 1.8 compared to my old 2.6 Mercedes also a bluetech engine so very economical
Well had I done due diligence on the engine I would not have bought it for the reason of cam shaft adjusters having problems with a range of issues and timing issues as well this is on the mb m271evo engine
For an estate it handles very well but long bonnet made to accommodate up to a v8 I have the 4 . it is economical 7 liters per 100 KS easy, drive hard and I mean hard and no not economical but fun, 7speed g tronic auto is superb better than any cvt .steering ,nice feedback a pleasure smooth car made to chew up the autobahn but not bad for our roads either
Like any Mercedes-Benz servicing on time every time is mandatory or earlier with the absolute correct oils and fluids you really do need to get on the web and do your homework get it wrong and you will pay dearly, older merks Like my 92 260e you could get away with it not these newer models, thay are rewarding cars to drive but need tlc
