A giant of the car business since its merger with Chrysler. Proved it had balls with the A-Class and Smart.
Mercedes A-Class
The A-Class is a brave attempt to repackage the family car. Stumbled initially, with embarrassing roll-over incidents but now into its stride although, according to owners, quality is poor.

Mercedes Vaneo
Mercedes’ designers must have worked hard to come up with something quite as ugly as this. Bigger than an A-Class, but would you really want to be seen in it?

Mercedes C-Class
For many searching for their ideal management car, the three-pointed star alone will be enough. But beware; those that have been there before you are appalled by quality.

Mercedes E-Class
The latest version of the E-Class finally has its rivals licked. The Estate doesn’t just pack in the kitchen sink, but the draining board too.

Mercedes S-Class
It may be getting on a bit, but the largest of the Mercedes saloons has more than enough on offer to keep you out of competitors’ showrooms. Powerful, uplifting, beautiful and refined.

Mercedes CLK
Mid-size four-seat coupe/cabriolet that has plenty going for it besides the looks. A shame that it’s not as much of a driver’s car as it should be.

Merdeces CL
The new five-star-style coupe is so much better than the previous tank-like Mercedes CL.

Mercedes SLK
A much better drive these days and still with the best coupe/ convertible roof in the business. AMG 55 version due soon should make Boxster owners weep.

The most desirable large roadster currently available.

Mercedes SLR McLaren
Looks the same as the SL but sounds amazing and goes like stink.
Mercedes M-Class
With the BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne and Volvo XC90 on the scene, this US-built mud plugger suddenly finds itself out of favour with the school run set.
