Purchased a b180cdi two months ago. Beautiful car, well made . . . but test drove an ordinary b180 cdi. Actually bought the B180 cdi SPORT. According to the German Mag Autobild the B180 is for the over 60's. Correct so far. Sports seats are USELESS for over 70's to get in and out of. The suspension is sports, ie very hard. Low profile tyres, a lousy ride and every worm hole is a large bump. My fault for buying this model and I'm not blaming Mercedes. Should have been more awake at the showroom.
Steering is 100 percent and it goes round corners fast and holds the road as if its on rails!
OK, the only further comments regard the fuel consumption, although 20 percent better than my previous petrol vehicle C180K it is no where near the published figures. The showroom personnel seem unaware of these figures and in fact say they are a load of rubbish. Iv'e always been able to get near the figures for other vehicles in the past.
PS The Sat Nav is brilliant and recalibrates if you decide en route to go a different way to the same destination!
