Key strengths: Great family car with loads of space and comfort
Areas for improvement: Paintwork
A great family car with loads of space and comfort.
We travel through France at least once a year and we drive the 800 miles in one day. The car is comfortable economical and extremely relaxing to drive, even when averaging high motorway speeds.
We have low profile sports tyres and are currently on our second full set that needed to be fitted at 45000 miles.Maybe not such a good idea although they look good!
This car has not had any serious problems although I have noticed that the paint work has chipped badly on the bonnet.
A light has failed in the speedometer and this also happened on my previous car, an E300. which finally resulted in a new lighting cluster for the instruments, apparently it was not possible to replace a single bulb! I am expecting the same problem with this car.
