@@RemusGagiu If you forget how bad is the whole body in the terms of rust, than you have an argument. When they joined with Crysler they started to cut the costs in body protection around year 2000 and these few years almost destroyed Mercedes image. W204 returned the trust. Big difference.
Great video. I do wonder however if these engineers think about the long term? Sure a new car is great, but the c class certainly does not go the distance, well, at least without a deep pocket.
huh? a W204 with Diesel goes 500km with no problem. just maintain it according to the manual (should be around 100 bucks a year) and the car will run without any problems. there is a reason all the taxi drivers in Germany and Austria drive Mercedes.
@@lancegraham7722 yeah, in all European countries and some US ones we have something called TÜV or §57a or something like that - every car gets a thourough expection every year - if your car doesn't meet this criteria you are not allowed to drive it. So cars tend to get maintained. It's not like Toyota were you don't do anything for 10 years then repair it if something breaks. Maintain and repair even if it still working a little bit and it will run forever. Sometimes it's bad luck but warranty should cover that.
I have w204 180cdi 2012.Its a very unquality and unreliable car.I have timing chain and tensioners issue on 154000 km! Water pump is bad too.Injectors too.Dmb german engineers.Same problems as previous bmw n47 engine. However the bmw fixed that problem but mercedes done the same mistake as bmw.I will never buy mercedes again Quality vehicles are Japanese vehicles only. Germans should learn from them how to make a quality product!
This was the last good C-class
Not at all. W203 was the last good Mercedes C Class. 204 is piece of plastic and hardened shit.

@@RemusGagiuW204 was infinitely better than the W203!
W204, 350 CGI ,it's my sixteenth Mercedes, there's nothing better than a Mercedes, only cars are left

@@herpaderppa3297 I completely agree. Especially reliable is OM642 engine.
@herpaderppa3297 should clarify...m271 c200 kompressor, really expected better .

❤ w204 2014 4 matic
First Mercedes I've ever been in, and I fell in love with the brand. Too bad that they could have done better on oil related components.
Well you didn't think about the balance shaft on the V6 did you?
Rear subframe either :D
fr
its to small in the back, my family is always complaning its to small legg room
Gibt es das auch auf Deutsch
Bestimmt, die reden ja alle deutsch. Finde die Reportage leider auch nicht ohne untertitel
Yes but this C class disappointing, had recalls and subframe problems
