      @@sabinasultana6789for me I’m at the pump twice a week maybe it’s because I drive her like a race car and the fuel is super expensive as this vehicle needs premium gasoline I bought it 3 years ago at 100k miles I put a good 38k miles on it since no problems just had to do suspension work on the links as there prone to give out and also car sits low to the ground watch out for the pot holes! Highly recommend this model was thinking about selling mine but I think I will hold on to her for however long I can!! Thanks

    Mike C good evening, nice review i love it.But u know the class W204 has a refresh from 2011 down to 2014. The refresh model has bigger LCD,more features and also a better exterior design even on the base models. In Nigeria the C class has more appeal than a BMW or an Audi. The C class is much more reliable and durable than the BMW. The Audi is a no no no in Nigeria,The BMW and Audi have electrical problems and very expensive to maintain.Under hot weather the Benz is much more reliable.so thanks a lot for the review

      I paid about 400 for those parts and changed it myself saving at least 3500$. The only problem is tight space..
      I had engine mounts replaced parts was 130 and the labor 600.
      I had all the front suspension replaced I took a loan for 3000$ and paid it back in 3 months.
      The car rides like a new car now. It was worth it instead of buying a new car. I did things in small increments. I'm going to replace the spark plugs and manifold next to make sure I can get another 5 years out of this car..
      The interior I did have one seat re-upholstered and I bought chrome decals for the door buttons and radio button decals.. I fixed the glove box myself for 130 instead of paying 500$.

      I noticed the tire pressure indicator was on as well. Sometimes if the tire pressure monitor is inactive, it throws a warning to check air pressure that turns the speedo red as well. It does this if any of the doors or trunk are not fully closed as well, so it's not necessarily indicative of something drastically wrong with the car. I'm surprised he didn't bother to hit the OK button and make it go away though!

      @@Macho_USI the C250 came out in 2012 here in the United States and it was actually extremely popular, of the facelift models at least here in California the majority of them are the C250, especially the coupe. I’m always shocked when I see a C350 coupe of this C class generation, those are awesome. looks are subjective, but I do think that this generation C class looks excellent, just enough distinction between the other Mercedes sedans. However, the 2015 C class is just on a whole other level. It’s gorgeous, looks modern to this day and it has great proportions.. yes of course it does look like the S class and the E class but it’s very classy…
