- 2010 C250CDI Sport Estate Manual
Anyone else noticed how much What Car? Magazine seem to have a real dislike of MBs. I run a 250 CDI Sport Estate, which I much preferred to 3 series touring in the showroom and ownership has been a superb experience. The Car has been a pleasure to own yet when I looked on The What Car? Website it has attracted a poor review.
I noticed this when checking out reviews for the new A Class. I fancy replacing my wifes Mini Clubman with an A250 after seeing one in my local dealership. I was VERY impressed with it yet it has a scathing 2 star review on What Car?! Is it really as "poor" to them as other 2 star offerings such as the Ssangyongs et al. What are they on???
In every case the equivalent BMW is preferred by them. They seem to idolise them however I do not see it. The 1 series is pig ugly ( and there is no less than 5 on our small housing estate and loads of 3s) plus my colleagues have had the most horrendous reliability issues with their 3/5 series. One vows never to darken their door again after having the dash out of the car for the second time to cure the rattles.mine has quietly racked up 62000 trouble free miles.....
I used to respect What Car? and their opinions.....
