Good to drive, plenty of luggage space, high levels of crash safety.
Patchy cabin quality, staid looks, pricey.
Best small premium estate on the market.
The C180K is exceptionally efficient for a petrol estate, returning a fine combined fuel consumption figure of 39.8mpg.
Emissions are reasonable too, with the 1.8-litre four-cylinder emitting 168g/km of CO2, meaning business users attract a 20% Benefit-in-Kind tax liability. That's 1% lower than the C200 CDI diesel, although those who cover higher mileages will no doubt be seduced by the oil burner's theoretical ability to average 47.1mpg.
