    I am looking for old daily cheap bamger with little bit of space amd comfort.

    So are they sturdy? Mpg? Comfortable? I know its a lowest class merc, but i presume its a bit bettet then car with sport coilvers...

    Windscreen wiper motor is a common fail and suspension bits and bobs are not cheap. 1.8 with the manual box can be close to 40mpg on a run. Not a nice car in most peoples view, too small to be a proper merc and 1.8 is a weasy ole thing in them. Auto C180s are worse on fuel obviously.

    Having owned a 1997 c180 auto i have to say i loved it.
    It isnt fast but very comfortable and very well built.

    I had clk200 amd i needed to go for every little bit to dealer for it. Is it same?

    Wow 40 mpg is damn impresive, more then i could ask.

    Would it be more sturdy then 96++ e200?

    If i will be willing to go 2.0 i will get pug 406 hdi. Or s70 2.0. So 1.8 merc kind of perfect for me...

    I presume it wount be like legendary e class up to 96?
