Mercedes C-Class W205 – corrosion-resistant body and high cost of maintenance

Mercedes cars have always been respected in Russia. And it doesn't matter what class they are. Except that the A-Class somehow kept a low profile. It is too revolutionary for our latitudes. But the C-Class turned out to be in demand. Let it be primarily on the used market, but still. The fourth generation of this model is known under the symbol W205. Sedans were offered under this letter. Station wagons are the S205. There were also convertibles and coupes - A205 and C205, respectively. The car was produced from 2014 to 2021, so there are many of these on the Russian secondary market. But is it worth buying a compact sedan, the back row of which has less space than the Lada Vesta?


This is what the video on the AUTO PLUS channel is dedicated to. It is immediately worth noting one serious plus of the Mercedes C-Class W205. This model is created on the MRA platform. She made the body stiffer than in the previous generation. But the main thing is the front fenders, doors, roof, hood and trunk made of aluminum alloy. This means that you can almost forget about external corrosion. True, it is advisable not to get into an accident - repairing such panels will be too expensive. And they will tell you about the other nuances of owning a Mercedes C-Class W205 in the video. In any case, this is a Mercedes, demanding even in terms of fuel quality, not to mention maintenance.
