    Girly question about Mercs

    I am too lazy to google this, and reckon one of you lot will know this.

    Are all Mercedes rear wheel drive?

    If any models aren't, which ones are they?
    Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

      The new A / B Classes are FWB I think. New as in 2013 models.

      Some are also 4WD, the GL wagons etc.

        Mercs are getting more models with 4WD but typically that's for US market.

        If you want 4WD then get an Audi...

          Thank you. I don't want a rear wheel drive, but I do like Mercs; albeit not the diddy ones.

            Why don't you want rear wheel drive?

                I just hate the aggro in ice or snow, and I resented having to spend so much money on winter tyres when I drove a BMW.

                OH thank you for that very comprehensive reply!

                  My Merc E class (RWD) has just had to have it's front n/s steering joint replaced at 8400 miles - so the quality is a bit dubious
                  How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think
