Mercedes C180K BlueEfficiency CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 5

Ben Whitworth, 08 December 2008 19:00

Mercedes has been a little slow off the mark with its environmental campaign, but hopes it range of new BlueEfficiency cars – spearheaded by the C180K BlueEfficiency on test here – will do for emissions, economy and public perceptions what EfficientDynamics has done for BMW. And there’s no price penalty for opting for the BlueEfficiency model – in fact at ...

Mercedes C63 AMG Performance Package (2008) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 5

Ben Barry, 24 September 2008 09:00

  The Mercedes C63 AMG Performance Package costs £3210 and promises to turn the four-door saloon from Affalterbach into an M3 beater. For your money you get uprated brakes and suspension, a limited slip differential and a steering wheel trimmed in nappa leather and Alcantara. Shouldn’t that kit be standard on the Mercedes C63 AMG? It’s a good point. The ...

Mercedes-Benz C350 Estate Sport CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 5

Glen Waddington, 29 July 2008 14:13

What’s the point of the Mercedes-Benz C350 Estate Sport? Sure, it looks great and it’s got loads of power, but no way can a small estate (even a small Mercedes estate) be useful too. Surely you’d just buy an E-class if you wanted space. Wouldn’t you? Should I just buy the salon, then? Well, as it turns out, no - ...

Mercedes CLC 220 CDI CAR review

Rated 2 out of 5

Christopher Hubbard, 11 June 2008 10:00

Previously the C-class Sports Coupe, now the Mercedes-Benz CLC, this is the junior coupe in the three-pointed star’s line-up. Some 1100 modifications underline the change to the bootbadge. But is the CLC really anything more than a pretty new face? If it is, in fact, even that… Pretty new face? Looks like someone’s beaten the Merc CLC with an ugly tree ...

Mercedes B180 CDI 5dr CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 5

Guy Bird, 30 May 2008 09:30

Plaudits for the Mercedes B-class were thin on the ground back in 2005 when the car first launched, pitched as a ‘Compact Sports Tourer’. To drive it was nothing of the sort – not as ‘compact’ or ‘sporty’ as a Ford C-Max, nor as able to ‘tour’ on even vaguely demanding roads as a BMW 3-series Touring. And it was ...

Mercedes R63 AMG CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 07 August 2006 07:36

My, that looks a bit of a beast! You're not wrong there. Mercedes new R63 AMG, which tops Mercedes' new range of six-seat R-models, is just what you'd expect it to be. Vast, fast, luxurious and with enough of a dynamic sting in its tail to fool you into thinking it's a wieldy sporting saloon rather than a 2375kg chunk ...

Mercedes GL500 CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 02 August 2006 03:23

I'm imagining loads of huge new Benzes appearing at random, a different one wherever I look… Calm down. Deep breath. You're not hallucinating - there really are new Mercs every which way at the moment. And they just seem to get be getting bigger and bigger. But why? What? How? Let's recap. The new ML has been with us for ...

Mercedes CLK63 AMG CAR review

Rated 2 out of 5

Anonymous, 26 July 2006 12:06

Another manic Merc? So how many squillion horsepower does this one have? It's not the car that's important, more what's changed under the bonnet. This is our first taste of a road car powered by AMG's new naturally aspirated 6.3-litre V8. It's the company's first ever ground up engine (the others having all been based on existing Benz motors) and ...
