I live on the south coast of England and help run a small family business. My interests include computers, minis, eating out, pubs, films, music and of course shopping.
It is a dream to drive. The handling is very good and comfortable. The inside is surprisingly spacious. Also there is a lot of storage room in the back. The back seats fold down and forwards revealing a flat space which is enormous for the size of car. If you require even more luggage space you can just pull a lever and the back seats come out all together! The front passenger seat also comes out if you crave even more space!
Typically with a mercedes they have thought everything out. All the gadgets in the car have been worked out to be practical and easy to use. The dashboard controls and simple to use and informative. All buttons are easy to reach and logically laid out.
The speakers in the car are well laid out. As with previous cars I expected to have to wire in decent speakers but I found this wasn't necessary.
As with all Mercs the MPG isn't amazing about 30-35.
All in all I would buy another one of these when we get rid of this one!
