Today’s episode of the owner review series brings us to Laiba Khan Lodhi’s 2018 Mercedes Benz W205 C180 AMG Night Package. Join us as we inquire about this beauty of a car from her.
Purchase Decision
Being a Mercedes Benz fan, Laiba shares that she had not explicitly decided to buy this car but any class as long as it was a Mercedes. She encircled the C-Class based on easy maneuvering in the city and comfortable size.
Price
The owner did not recall the exact price; however, the present cost of the car is around Rs. 20 million.
Maintenance and Parts Availability
“Owing to the economic downfall in Pakistan, maintenance prices have significantly increased compared to local options in the market,” shares the owner. Moreover, the parts’ price has also surged.
Features
The model’s features include a panoramic sunroof, eco-idle, Bluetooth connectivity, an all-black interior, DRL headlights, etc. The Bluetooth connectivity is great of this car. As per the owner, its black interior, sunroof and exterior shape are the three favorite options. Furthermore, she is very satisfied with the AC performance.
As per owner, the seating capacity especially on back seats is not so good as Mercedes C-class is relatively smaller in size.
Seating Capacity
The capacity could have been better, which could have led to more people sitting in the car’s rear seats.
Other Issues
Being a woman driver in Pakistan and being on the road with such exotic wheels brings a lot of unwanted attention to the owner. “People need to understand that there is nothing special in women driving cars, its exactly the same like boys so it shouldn’t be surprising,” the owner stated. Sharing one of the experiences, Laiba said she once shared a small clip of her drifting on social media, and she was surprised by the negative comments talking about here being a girl and doing drifting, although women are taking part in motor sports in Pakistan extensively.
