Disappointed with my new car

Delvey

Is it lease? If so I would take it back now. It seems it's not fit for purpose

Oh and it's gone through a full set of tyres in 15000 miles, at £185 each. I did almost 40,000 in the Jeep and they still didn't need changing, so it's not my driving.

The radar sensor warning keeps binging, doesn't matter if the car has just been washed.

Not supposed to need to touch the adblue between services. I've had to fill my tank up twice.

Not that I was planning on buying one but your giving lots of reasons to avoid the Merc!

Never again!

Did you take it in? I wouldn’t stand for having such issues that you have. Something doesn’t seem right at all.

I gad a 64 plate e220 amp for a two years if a three year contract. Although I quite liked it, the engine was noisy and the gearbox a bit sluggish. However, the seats were the reason I had to get rid of it! They were the most uncomfortable seats I’ve had in any car.

Also, if anyone has a pcp, I wouldn’t expect to get anything at the end of it.  There was no date all the way up the the end of the contract where I didn’t owe money.

I rented an E350d AMG for a weekend a few months ago. Loved it(what an engine!) Everything worked but found that flat control knob thing where the gear stick used to be was very annoying. It was pointless and obstructive. I'm guessing that the car had linguatronic because voice controlled nav was impressive. A lot better than my experience of slightly older Mercs.

Smallest 4 Cylinder, what do you expect

That twin turbo v6 is beautiful isn’t it. That is what truly belongs on a Mercedes opposed to those weedy 4 cylinders.

I really like the knob, easy to operate without having to look anywhere. Just twist and turn and press.

Indeed a beautiful engine! Seemingly unlimited torque even at motorway cruising speed [emoji3] Nice V6 growl too.

As I recall Merc have the knob and what looks like a retro mobile phone stuck to the central tunnel over the knob. No need for both!

I agree with that one I switched off my touch sensitive clamshell phone as I touched it accidentally too many times..
