So you've had a Mercedes car and found the quality not what you expect for the brand / money.

But you are going to buy another one. Wow branding / advertising really does have more of an impact than I realised.

Well I don't think you have the full picture. The first Merc I ever drove was an S63 coupe that was a rental 2 years ago in LA. I didn't even know what it was back then and had no idea the price tag of it. Fast forward a few months and I go and buy the GLA. I wish I had done my due diligence then.

The issue with Mercedes seems to be their RHD models, these issues don't seem to exist on the LHD models. It just seems Mercedes isn't putting any testing in to these models and it's rather disappointing.

All I'm gonna say about my "brand loyalty" is there isn't much else to choose from. Audi's are boring, wkers drive BMW's (there's a reason they offer 0% Apr on their M cars) &a aside from that there isn't much left.

Ive got a LHP on order so I don't need something that sporty, I may get a C43 in the short and move over to an E63s. Or get an uris, who knows. I was just looking to see if anyone here had issues with their C43 and their seem to be a equal numbers of people with issues and people without.
