So this is a pretty important survey in sweden.. where they ask owners of new cars ( in this case 2005 modells) to grade their car by how satisfied the are with it..
Toyota always win this in sweden.. but not this time baby

2 (1) Toyota Yaris 9,27 9,40
3 (5) Mercedes E-klass 9,25 9,18

Does anyone know the results from the AutoZeitung survey?
I only heard that Jaguar was first.

In support of the C-Class, the facelifted versions have really impressed me because they feel like a totally different car when compared to the original W203 C-Class. Good to hear that the C-Class finally beat out some Toyota. I'm getting sick of hearing that name. j/k

Read this earlier today as well. Veru nice and surprising to see Mercedes up there

Not so surprising to see French cars at the bottom

Anything funny in this picture of the top three cars in the survey?

 

[Yperion]

The Toyota is sandwhiched between the two MB's. Hope they crush that POS.

Also, that's not the current W203 C-Class but the upcoming W204.

5er has been no1 on that list for 4 years in a row but lost the first place two years ago. Anyway, 15000 people in a survey dont tell us much.

 

[LaArtist]

you said last year..and obviously you have the positions and grades for each car last vs this year..

so last year the 5er was in 6th place..dont know about those other years your talking about..

I assume this is Motormännens survey?

 

[LaArtist]

yes it is

 

[Zafiro]

yes it is

I remember when BMW bragged about this. Every advertise they mention it. Now they stopped Anyway, 15000 owners, you can through Motormännens survey in the letter bin..

 

[LaArtist]

well its always something.. atleast you can brag about it..im sure you was happy when bmw topped it..haha

Facelifted C class is a very nice car but they have to fix some slight ergonomic faults. The father of one of my friends has one and he made me read the manual the other time to tell him how the cruise control lever works. Believe me i had a tough time with it.

 

[LaArtist]

LOL how ??
its so easy.. its like in all MB´s...
push it up and its on.. push it away and its off.. push it towards you and its on again at the previous speed..
push it down it decreases speed..and up it gains speed..

and if you push in the leaver..you go from a cruise control...to a speed limiter..

 

[Yperion]

It may sound easy for you who had a Mercedes before but those who are new to the whole idea might find it difficult. Audi for example has a much easier system with only three options "select speed, engage, disengage".

When I was younger, I thought MB cruise control was very difficult to use, but I'm so used to it now.
