Chapter 217: Mercedes-Benz C (3) begs for subscription

The space in the front row is okay, Fang Yuan is especially satisfied with the seat, Wang Hu in the back is a little aggrieved, if his back is close to the back of the seat, because the top of his head has touched the roof, he either tilts his neck or pokes his head forward, and the strange posture makes him very uncomfortable.

If you want your head and neck to be uncomfortable, you have to lie down, but in this case, your waist is in a suspended state, and the knees of your legs are pushed up to the front seat, which is still uncomfortable.

Wang Hu couldn't stretch his legs, couldn't lift his head, couldn't straighten his waist, and was aggrieved no matter how he sit, and finally said to Fang Yuan in front of him uncomfortably, and took the initiative to get out of the car and run to the co-pilot.

Fang Yuan glanced back, the rear space of this Mercedes-Benz C is indeed very aggrieved, not suitable for adult men to ride for a long time, only suitable for petite girls or child seats.

One of the reasons for this dilemma is that it has a length, width and height of 4591 mm, 1770 mm, 1444 mm, and especially a wheelbase of only 2760 mm.

It seems to be a standard B-class car size, but for Chinese people who pay attention to space, it seems very restrictive.

Mercedes-Benz is obviously aware of this problem, and the body size of the 2020 Mercedes-Benz C has become much longer, and the wheelbase has reached 2920 mm, which is about the same as the wheelbase of 2961 mm and 2908 mm of the 2020 BMW 3 Series and Audi A4L.

Another reason for the cramped rear space of the Mercedes-Benz C is its longitudinal engine and front-rear-wheel drive mode.

"The space in the back is cramped, and the space in the front is mediocre. Wang Hu complained to Fang Yuan a little depressed, not knowing why those young men and beautiful girls liked this car.

"You forget, Mercedes-Benz C positioning is sporty, and there is a clear difference between Mercedes-Benz E-Class and S-Class, which focus on comfort and business. Fang Yuan explained to Wang Hu that those Mercedes-Benz C owners are young, most of them have not started a family, they are in the rising period of their careers or enjoying life, and the cars they want to buy require a good-looking appearance, high appearance, hard brand, and there is not so much rigid demand for rear space, so they are driving and playing, of course they don't care.

After they converge on their temperament, get married and have children, they will either change cars or simply buy another model with a lot of space.

In addition, small size has the advantage of small size, and short-axle compact cars also have their advantages that cannot be ignored.

Like the Mercedes-Benz C-class 2011 C180K classic, the small body size means that it is easy to reverse, easy to turn around, easy to merge, and very flexible in congested cities and communities.

The small space in the rear of the Mercedes C does not mean that it cannot be fitted in the trunk.

As a four-door, five-seater sedan, it is still easy to pack some daily necessities in the trunk, and the opening is wide enough to take it even if the stuff is very full.

"Rear-wheel drive, compact model ......" Wang Hu muttered a few times, and suddenly remembered what Fang Yuan said about the standard axle version of the BMW 3 Series, "I haven't driven this car, how does it handle?"

"Manipulation? It's hardly manipulation. ”

Fang Yuan said seriously that the engine power of this generation of Mercedes-Benz C is average, the 5AT gearbox is slightly sluggish, and the official maximum speed is 223. Acceleration from zero to 100 in 9.1 seconds.

Its steering wheel, accelerator pedal and brake pedal are heavier than most Japanese cars, unlike Audi, which is very easy to drive at low speed, light and high-speed, and BMW with the same heavy steering wheel, because when cornering, driving the Mercedes-Benz C can not get the correct feedback force, and it is difficult to feel the degree of wheel steering through the feedback force of the steering wheel.

Its front three-link suspension, rear multi-link independent suspension, solid chassis sound insulation, comfort is excellent, but the overall handling tuning is far from BMW Audi, "the best appearance, the worst handling" is said to be Mercedes-Benz.

When driving, it should be noted that this generation of Mercedes-Benz C not only has no handling at all, but will have the problem of deviation, which needs to be adjusted through regular and timely four-wheel alignment.

Another troublesome problem when driving is that this generation of Mercedes-Benz C has a common problem that it cannot be used for a long time in the internal circulation, and after a period of time, it will be switched to the external circulation state, so for owners in northern cities, its air conditioning filter is a component that needs special attention, and timely cleaning and replacement can ensure the air quality in the car.

"If you want to be motivated or not, if you want to control or not, there is nothing left except for appearance. Wang Hu was a little disappointed with this Mercedes-Benz C, and complained that it was just a good-looking product.

"It can't be said that this generation of Mercedes-Benz C still has advantages. ”

Fang Yuan said that this generation of Mercedes-Benz C is stable and does not float at high speed, and the proper suppression of cornering and rolling will not make the passengers in the car sway left and right, leaning forward and backward, and the overall sense is also very strong when walking on bad roads or passing speed bumps, without extra secondary vibration, and will not transmit the uncomfortable road feeling to the passengers, plus comfortable seats, which is in response to the phrase "drive a BMW and sit in Mercedes-Benz".

"I'm reminded of what you always say, the best car is the one that fits you. Wang Hu suddenly realized that this generation of Mercedes-Benz C is suitable for those handsome guys and beauties who are still enjoying life, but it is not suitable for married people who pay attention to practicality, unless they have more than one car at home.

"That's a good point. Fang Yuan raised his head and swept his gaze over the car, asking Wang Hu to pay attention to its interior.

In BBA, Audi focuses on technology and Mercedes-Benz focuses on luxury and comfort.

Mercedes-Benz not only looks high-end in appearance, but its interior design has always been the best among the three, much stronger than BMW and Audi, and the overall temperament is also a lot more high-end, which is also one of the reasons why many car owners choose Mercedes-Benz.

The center console of this Mercedes-Benz C is moderately soft and hard, the door armrests are wrapped in leather, as well as leather seats, leather multi-function steering wheel, responsive buttons, BOSE audio, cloth feel seals, etc., from the perspective of materials and workmanship, it does achieve the quality that a luxury brand should have.

Therefore, Fang Yuan's evaluation of this generation of Mercedes-Benz C is a family car suitable for young people, if you want to experience handling and as a business car, it is best to change to BMW, Audi or Mercedes-Benz E-class.

"What is the common problem of this Mercedes-Benz C, is it expensive to repair and maintain?"

"This car is relatively durable. "In addition to what Fang Yuan said just now, it is easy to deviate, the internal circulation can not be opened for a long time, the engine shakes, burns oil, leaks, etc., its air conditioning panel is easy to crack, and there will be abnormal noises when the electric window is lifted, and there is a Mercedes-Benz COMAND system interface is more dazzling, but the fluency of the overall operation, as well as the smoothness of the system, is relatively poor, and the situation of Caton often occurs.

And when using the mobile phone interconnection system, there may be various problems such as volume adjustment failure, from the perspective of car machine technology, the car machine of its own brand is much stronger than it.

As for the maintenance of Mercedes-Benz C, Fang Yuan smiled, and the evaluation was "expensive".

This Mercedes-Benz C is a long car, and it is estimated that Lin Chenglong will do maintenance after receiving the car, in addition to routine maintenance such as engine oil, machine filter, air filter, etc., it is also necessary to check and replace the spark plug, transmission oil, brake disc, brake pads, tires, etc. of the vehicle.

For ordinary car owners, it is best to follow the time and items marked on the maintenance manual to do maintenance in a timely and correct manner, and the power system of this car is not easy to have problems.

The maintenance of Mercedes-Benz C is divided into A and B guarantees, and one maintenance is 10,000 kilometers.

The A insurance 1000 and B insurance 1300 in the 4S store are converted as a whole, in fact, the price of A insurance is not much different from that of ordinary joint venture cars or Japanese cars, mainly B insurance and big insurance.

B insurance usually adds oil cleaning, throttle cleaning, and fuel additives, and the cost is about 1700.

Major maintenance is even more terrible, transmission oil 3800, fuel filter 5500.

Therefore, individual Mercedes-Benz C owners will choose to sell their cars when they are going to do super health care for more than 50,000 kilometers, which is equivalent to saving themselves more than 10,000 yuan.

"I recommend going to a reliable auto repair shop for maintenance, which can save 30%. "Generally speaking, Fang Yuan recommends maintenance in a 4S shop, which is a plus point when selling second-hand cars, but for luxury cars like Mercedes-Benz, maintenance is really a heavy burden.

In addition, there is the cost of maintenance, many 4S shops are only replaced without repair, so if you do this, the 4S shop makes more money, and it is also a little good for the owner.

That is, in case the mechanic is in a bad mood on the day, the problem may not be solved completely, causing hidden dangers.

And just replace it without repairing it, it eliminates this possibility and saves time.

But Mercedes spare parts are really expensive.
