Select the desired model

Mercedes C Class (00-07)

Recommended. A fine compact executive saloon, featuring big cabins and confident roadholding. Looks pricey next to BMW 3 Series and some engines unrefined.

Mercedes A Class

Recommended. Clever supermini that offers excellent practicality in addition to a premium badge - it's just not that great to drive.

Mercedes CL (03 - 06)

Recommended. A relaxed uber-Cruiser that offers conservative good looks and continent-crossing high speed ability. Very expensive to buy and run.

Mercedes CLK

Recommended. Handsome, classy coupé and convertible. Exclusive, but expensive for what you get.

Mercedes E Class

Recommended. Familiar looks hide a comprehensive makeover - but can the new E Class deliver on substance as well as style?

Mercedes M Class

Recommended. Merc's huge 4x4 is big and shiny enough to be seen from space - and it's pretty decent to drive, too.

Mercedes S Class

Highly Recommended. Possibly the most complete luxury saloon in the world - makes even its accomplished rivals appear crude by comparison.

Mercedes SL

Recommended. Effortlessly talented luxury roadster that's growing old gracefully. Expensive to run but very exclusive.

Mercedes SLK

Highly recommended. The novelty of the SLK's folding metal hardtop has faded - but the rest of the ownership experience is still pretty special.

Mercedes V Class

Steer clear. It's a Mercedes Sprinter van with windows and a leather interior, plus a truly ridiculous pricetag. Nowhere near the standards of proper premium MPVs.

Mercedes C Class Coupe

Average. The baby of the Mercedes-Benz coupe range has all the looks and style of bigger models - but is hampered by price. A desirable car with surprising interior space.

Mercedes Vaneo

Not recommended. A compact people-carrier based on the A Class but let down by very poor ride, a very silly name and grossly over-optimistic pricetags.

Mercedes Viano

Avoid. Mercedes' weakest link - a thinly disguised van that pretends to be a people carrier. Crude and laughably overpriced.

Mercedes SLK (96-04)

Recommended. Stylish convertible that's a lot more fun with its new engines and standard manual gearbox.

Mercedes A Class (98-04)

Recommended. Clever premium supermini with a seriously spacious cabin, despite dinky external dimensions. Unexciting ride and handling, but holds its value well.

Mercedes CLS

Recommended. Cross an E Class saloon with a CLK coupe and you get a CLS. And rather fine it is, too.

Mercedes B-Class

Average. Practical MPV based on the same mechanical package as the A Class - and let down by the same over-optimistic pricing.

Mercedes R Class

Not Recommended. This curiously impractical 4x4 MPV will appeal to Mercedes badge-snobs, but almost nobody else.

Mercedes M Class (98 - 05)

Not recommended. Disappointingly crude off-roader that sells on its badge and little else. Indifferent on-road performance and cheap-feeling build construction mean it's no match for the BMW X5.

Mercedes S Class (99 - 05)

Highly Recommended. A super-yacht on wheels with seats that massage, this is motoring for the chosen few. Beautiful both to drive and to sit in.

Mercedes GL Class

Average. At last, a Mercedes SUV for those who think the ML is too shy and retiring...

Mercedes CL

Ultra-exclusive two-door version of the S Class saloon.

Mercedes C Class

Recommended. Sticks with the scaled-down S-Class looks and space, but now with better finish, superb handling and decent steering feel
