• Which is the better car out of the two options? 15 Apr 2023 (Forum)
  Hi looking to buy my first car in a few months and can’t decide which used hatchback car is better for me. I can’t decide between the Mercedes Benz a200 (either Sport or AMG) or Honda Civic Vtec Turbo Sport. I am looking to keep this car for a good 6 to 7 years so want something reliable. FYI: I am 29 about to be 30 soon, so I’m not a young driver and had my license for 18 months going on two years soon.
• Crossing my fingers 4 Jun 2012 (Forum)
  OK, folks...I've driven only American cars my whole life (with the exception of one really horrible European import that put me off imports for years).  However, I just took a leap of faith and bought something utterly unfamiliar: a Mercedes Benz from West Germany.  What do you folks know about these, are they any good?  This is way outside my comfort zone, but I'm willing to try and master the learning curve, which in this case might be bigger than usual.
• How Reliable Is Your Car? 14 Sep 2011 (Forum)
  What is surprising is that Citroen, Fiat and Peugeot, not firms renowned for reliability all ranked above BMW, VW, Volvo and Audi with Mercedes Benz languishing in 27th place. Thoughts?
• Disappearing Cylinders....... 9 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  I was reading in the latest Autocar that both Mercedes-Benz and BMW are developing 3-cylinder petrol engines for the base models in some of their ranges - in M-B's case, even possibly the C-Class. The next BMW 1-series is being designed to cope with the particular vibration characteristics of 3-cylinder engines.
• Car Servicing in Calais 10 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  Hi Room Living near the port of Dover I have decided the time has come to take the Mercedes Benz 320CDI over to the MB dealer in France and save myself a packet on servicing fees. I hear that you can save up to 70% by using an approved main dealer whist maintaining your service record and warranty.
• What's the history of folding tin tops? 25 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  Who made the first proper automatic folding metal roof ? When I say proper , I mean like in the Mercedes Benz SLK and (latest) SL, not like the automatic "targa" roofed Honda CRX of the early-mid nineties. I vaguely recall seeing some American cars of the Fifties/Sixties that had folding roof sections which would be automatically stored in the boot....???

• BMW overtakes Mercedes 8 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  The BMW brand also outsold Mercedes-Benz badged cars in May and June, although the Mercedes brand stayed ahead in the six-month period. BMW's success in snatching the sales lead reflects an aggressive programme of new model development that has seen the Munich company fill in gaps in its model line-up, including the recent X3 small offroader and 6-Series coupé.

• Ford/Mercury/Lincoln - Recommendations? 7 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  The Mercedes-Benz I bought earlier this year turned out to be a real dog--beautiful, but enough to make you cry with its problems.  Now it's sitting dead with a blown engine--the timing chain broke.  Enough of imports, I've had two bad ones in a row.
• New C-Class - here we come again 3 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  From "Automotive News": ...........East European suppliers win big with C class : Top seller will get more parts from emerging markets....... Mercedes-Benz is shifting a sizable portion of its sourcing for the next C class (......) to eastern Europe, joining other automakers in an industrywide search for high-quality parts at a lower price. I'm an East-European myself, but can't understand one thing: why those Stuttgart execs can't cope with quality ?

• Merc extended warranty 8 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  It looks like Mercedes Benz (USA) have lost their court case and been forced to extend the warranty on some engines to 10 years/150K miles. Apparently, they used to recommend low viscosity oils, typically 5W30, in order only to increase their Corporate Average Fuel Economy.
