small follow-up: had the car back a few days ago, they did the "software updates" they said it was missing two important updates, and this should fix the issue (as expected the seller didn't simply do those updates before selling me the car, as I asked and asked after reading this forum...

eheh definitely paradoxical :lol: I suspect it's going to end up in a similar way... today they said they couldn't test the car until it wasn't fully charged (?) ...and they don't have a charger :| So they had to use the low power socket and wait an inexplicable amount of time, since the...

No, it was warm and sunny this morning, I'd say around 16/18 °C I had also moved the car few minutes before for about 10 kms, so it should have "warmed up" a bit. Had the feeling it was something wrong happening while turning the key to ignite the engine, not sure what, perhaps a small...

They've just picked it up :cry: They said it's better giving a look anyway, and better me not to drive it until they check, and I agree. Will let you know results for the archive! (I bet they won't find a thing - but I've at least pushed for them to check software version and update it if...

Thank you wtzouris, I got the car in late november, but the car is a 2015 model, it was sitting there since a couple years. Very few miles still, I'm in EU so I go with Kms, I think I made about 2000 kms. Can't find my VIN in that database, I assume it only works for american cars :( I did...

So I had this red warning on the cockpit exactly one hour ago: "Without restarting, consult workshop" I had just plugged the key and triggered the engine, to go back home from work. I did as it said - called the workshop, arranged for them to pick up the car, and tried anyway driving home...

Just wanted to drop a quick update - I finally got my hands on my B-class a couple weeks ago (about ONE MONTH later than expected for very obscure reasons...) ....aand, I'm extremely pleased with the purchase :) The only couple things that let me confused at first were the audio department...

No federal tax credit here :( the only bonus you get for an electric car here is you don't pay something like a "property tax" for the first 5 years (worth about 300$/year for my bmw) Yeah I have a garage where to plug (and excited to say goodbye gas station!) I don't travel much outside...

ohhh man, that's a shame, sorry for you but glad you were not seriously injuried! I've checked all crash-test results I could find for the B-class in the past and they were among the best I've seen, driver safety was particularly top-rated, seems to be a really solidly built chassis. This is...

Thank you for your quick - and wise answer. Yeah, I was very upset at first. Now I'm getting a bit "colder" on the situation. I've spent weeks, and searched so much to find the new car suiting my taste, plus other weeks to find a dealer willing to sell it (you wouldn't believe how difficult...

Hello everyone, I'm here again looking for a suggestion: there have been huge delays with my purchase order, due to a series of circumstances - mostly bad communication between the dealer and MB. The dealer is now offering a 2015 model with similar configuration to what I requested (except...

:lol: can confirm this on my own skin, my current BMW car was a "new model" (lots of years ago) and I had lot of hassles with the engine (all was solved -luckily- within warranty) but have been fully satisfied with the car otherwise. Would have sticked with BMW, wasn't for the considerations I...

Thank you! Great to hear people satisfied by this choice. I've never even seen one for real (speaking of the electric one, of course) and this is the first time I purchase a car mainly deciding from the info gathered online.. so hearing your experience is a relief, and exciting too :) My...

Awesome, thanks! I'm perfectly fine with this material then, even though it looks like leather, seems like it has some quite interesting features, and I'm definitely happy knowing nobody has been skinned to allow my elbow sitting comfortably In fact it's also more convenient price-wise, now...

Thank you Jeff, looks like you (and wtzouris) are guessing right, I've just received this info from the Mercedes customer support regarding B-Class interiors: eco-leather ARTICO is not real lether but a synthetic material, made of a base textile fabric covered with polyurethane or PVC. This...
