2012 మెర్సిడెస్-బెంజ్ బి- క్లాస్

Exterior Very glamourous car, smart, sleek, alloys are very nice. The lights complete the package, Sleek chrome fittings enhance the look, the broad feeling comes up. Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very nice Cockpit designed interior's. Lumbar support, electronically adjustable seats are very nice, comfort even at the speed of 160 km/hr is top class. All features are inbuilt in the car DVD systems, panoromic sunroof, lumbar support of the seats are very nice, space is more than enough for 4 people, and makes it upto the mark for 5 too. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very nice engine, though the noise might irritate you sometimes but the sports mode is enthralling. Gives an avg of 20 on highway which is prety decent. Touches 160 with complete control and stability. Ride Quality & Handling Best in class ride quality as compared to X1, Q3.  Final Words The car is best in its class BUT the after sales service is very very poor. I had given my car for the first free checkup on 3500 kms, there was a bulge in the front tyre (which is very very rare) and as a result it obviously has to be replaced. Such a big company makes a statement that "your car might have had an impact on the road as such that the tyre got damaged. So it will go for insurance claim, and a maximum of 50% of the tyre cost can be claimed by the insurance company". This means that i have to pay Rs. 25000 for the tyre replacement. And as a contradictory if the tyre got damaged that inturn should mean that the alloy wheel should also have a dent/damage but NO DAMAGE has been done to the alloy wheel. This is a manufacturing default and there is deadlock on the same since the past 8 Days. I am really in a shock to see such a reputed brand having least priority for customer satisfaction.Rear seat entertainment system, panoramic sunroof, comfortSERVICE BACKUP

Exterior Looks nice from outside and the styling is appealing to the eye Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Nice looking interiors. The wood panel in the front looks nice. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Great fuel economy. The gear box is smooth and the paddle shift lever is very good. Ride Quality & Handling Sturdy rides and one can cover long distances smoothly.  Final Words Now, I am not recommending this car at all...because the ground clearance for this car sucks. It is worst...imagine an expensive car which you cannot ride peacefully on Indian roads because it will scrape evey speed bump in town. Don't buy this car - the ground clearance is pathetic. I purchased and sold within 2 weeks because the car was touching evey bump on the road. If more than one person sits, the car sinks and almost touches the road. It is the worst car for Indian roads. I strongly recommend NOT to buy this car. Merc has not figured out how to manufacture cars for India. I made a big mistake in buying and incurred loss when I had to sell  Areas of improvement      Nice exterior styling, decent interiors, looks compact, nice automatic gearsThe ground clearance is pathetic. It will touch every speed bump
