Mercedes CLC Diesel

Does anyone have one ?

If so can they give any positives / negatives on it ?

The Mrs is quite keen on one right now, I know they've had mixed reviews from motoring journalists so was looking for anyone who has had more than just a couple of hours test drive in one that can give some more insightful info ?

Performance isn't really an issue to her, its more for motorway miles and comfort driving with a car thats not too big to manouvre or difficult to park - the usual Mrs requirements to be honest !

Any help would be much appreciated - cheers

It is not a bad engine at all, been around for a long while and a really good cruiser. If you can stretch to the 220CDI, it is the better drive than the 200CDI although if performance is not the issue, it is the same block.

They run on a platform from 8 years ago. Don't bother.

Still seems to work reasonably well though.

Absolutely not, the Sport Coupe is the first car I've not wanted to get rid of after 6 - 18 months of getting it.
