    Mercedes-Benz C200 2011: Should I downgrade now it has developed electrical problems?

    I have had a Mercedes-Benz C200 since new in 2011. It has done 92,000km, is regularly serviced and it's starting to have electrical problems. As it is out of warranty and five years old, I am seriously looking to downgrade to a Hyundai Accent with five-year warranty and 10 years' roadside assist. I am 69 and don't do as many kilometres as I did. Do you think this would be a good move?

    Electrical problems can quickly become costly but you will notice a big step down in comfort and class if you downgrade to a Hyundai. It's a sensible move on the budget front but make sure you understand the implications — take a long test drive in the Accent before you commit.
