Overview
The W204 series spreads itself nicely across the price range, enabling the prospective Mercedes owner a look in, while offering top end models fit for boardroom dwellers. The turbocharged 1.8-litre petrol engine, replacing the previous Kompressor version, drives the rear wheels through a seven-speed auto and, enhancing economy, offers an idle stop/start system. Returning 6.8L/100km puts it under the Luxury Car Tax threshold. The seven-speed auto drives the rear wheels via refined suspension, embracing the ride/handling equation like no other. Safety features are prolific, including those unheard of in much of the competition - a bit of a tradition at M-B.
