<<Hi Guys
I am just wanting to know from owners and people in general about the reliability and build off the new c w204. I own one for about 6 months and touch wood i have had not a single problem. So i just want to ask how do others find it and also the build quality off the c class as i find it really built well the interior i find really really well built..also as many off you no the previus c had plenty of reliability problems and also poor build quality. So Just want to ask what people think off the new c and new mercs in general as the past few years have been poor.>>

After foisting some real dogs (W140/W203/W211) on the unsuspecting buyers, MB has seen the light (and the poor sales and huge warranty costs) and has produced two series that put the unpleasant past to rest. According to the experts who are the people who deal with the cars day in and day out, the new S-Class and now the new C-Class models are proving to be the cars that the non-MB owning public thought they were all along.

Speaking for myself, my C300 is the most reliable MB I've ever owned, with not one defect of any kind in the five months and 4000 miles I have owned it. This takes into account that I believe every single feature and component in the car should work flawlessly at all times. And, the very thick warranty claim file on my past (as just one example) 2001 C320 bears this out.

And I am told by the dealer's technicians that the new S-Class is just as reliable and they say all they are coming in for is routine maintenance.

I could now recommend the purchase of a W204 to a friend without hesitation. I could not say the same for the W203.
