ADIL VASI
C 250 AMG Line (CBU) (2014)
Bought new, Owned for 8 Years
Fuel Economy: 8.0 km/litre (12.5 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 100 km/month
- car is simply amazing to drive - it is silky smooth and it can really speed up when needed
- it is very sporty looking from outside
- the cabin for the driver just feels superb
- the Burmeister sound system is crazy fantastic. You can hear every word
- it comes with a sunroof that you can open so on open roads, the feeling of the wind gushing in from all the windows plus from the top - it is amazing. It is like getting a cabriolet
- the running costs once the warranty expires is crazy hgh - Mercedes Service Centre charges RM 2,000 minimum just to do Service A. That is of course before the ancillaries that they will surely find
- the cost of changing the wiper blade is RM 387 if you get the original one. But I have found that the blade does do a much better job than a generic one
- the boot is really small and really you cannot fit in a travel bag larger than 18 inchies. Forget the 20 inches and above. It is just enough length to put in a shopping trolley
- so if you are travelling with a full family of 4 or 5, the boot space is going to fill up pretty quickly
= you can fit small 400 ml bottles at the side doors but nothing bigger
= you do get a glove box but it is pretty small. And a small area in front where the gear lever would have been for a normal car (Mercedes has moved it as a stalk on the steering wheel) and you get the center armrest area for you to put in the bigger stuff like your wallet but really, that is something that can really be a pain if you have more stuff around
- fuel consumption is really high so best to stay in either Eco or Comfort mode. Sport mode jacks up the petrol quite a bit
- Being a Merc, they have very few safety features Even the latest Perodua has more than them
To Improve
- boot space
- NVH
- safety features like lane assist, lane departure assist, cross traffic assist, adaptive cruise control, and all the rest.
Yes, I would recommend this car
