C class interior wear and tear
Hey guys. I would like to know how you interior has been holding up. Esp the drivers seat? I have an 07 and the seat looks brand spanking new due to the pack i'm not a fat person crushing the seat. I have the MBTEX which my uncles BMW which is an 07 also can easily tell wear and there.

My car has leather inserts and MB-Tex and my interior is fine @ 87600 miles. I condition it and take very good care of it. Size has little to do with it, MB-Tex should wear VERY well.

Mine is perfect in every way - full leather. Some car seats went flat - never on SA cars.

The weak spot seems to be the armrest, at least up till they eliminated the complicated dual compartments and changed the material. My armrest wear is pretty bad and also pretty common.

Yes - that armrest problem is an American thing. Here the twin bin & cover are local content & have been through proper UV testing. They don't fall apart. The only thing on the console that is imported is the wood.

No problems whatsoever for me... So far, but my friends handle did come out, and some paintwork on the interior plastic is fading, but apart from that - I haven't seen a bad W203 C-Class interior yet...

135K...seats look suprisingly good despite having kids are in it often. The driver's side speaker grille and door mounted power seat control are damaged, otherwise, not too bad.

Shifter surround bezel popped out, both pull handles broken, leather seats in excellent shape, robotic cup holder broken, back cover of rear headrest broken.

This drove me nuts. I would apply various "fixes" that only worked for a while and then it would start coming out again. The last time I got fed up, went to the dealer and bought a new bezel. The trans SW switch was part of the package so it was like $280. The latches that hold it in place are redesigned, more substantial, and work. No more problem. It was worth it.

My 2005 with 66,000 miles is holding up great. No rips no tears or wearing down anything.

I am at a little over 72000 miles on my 2005 and the interior has been holding up great. In the garage when I am home and sitting in a hot parking lot when AI am at work. In Las Vegas, it gets to about 115 F in the summer, so I am suprised pn how well it is doing.
