Advantages: Solid, safe, reliable, well appointed

Disadvantages: Not very powerful

The C180 is not a tiring car to drive, which is exactly what you’d expect from the great Mercedes-Benz. There is also that characteristic feeling of a hidden strength that will take care of you no matter how bad the traffic, how awful the weather or how black your mood.

Small Mercedes have never been as fast as rivals like BMW. But Mercedes-man tends not to care as he ambles along, isolated from the world and its troubles. Even flat out, the engine keeps its cool.

The fit and finish is just superb. Whenever you press a button or turn a knob, you get the impression that, no matter how many times you turn it or press it, it will never, ever, fall off. The design of the dash, too, is quite faultless.

Those unused to the Mercedes brand, may, however, find it takes longer to get used to the way the car drives. It may have the front-engined, rear-drive layout of a 3-Series BMW and ultimately it will corner just as well, but it never feels like its heart is in it if you drive with any spirit.

Arguably, the best way to appreciate the baby Merc is not to drive it, but to crash it. It has a driver’s side airbag, seat belt pretensioners, anti-lock brakes and the rest. Couple that with the famous badge and the promise that it brings of low depreciation and superb reliability, and you can begin to see why so many Mercedes customers never buy another make of car.
