Mercedes-Benz R-Class (2006 - 2012) R320 CDI Sport 5d Auto (2006/06) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Executive who likes a family and practical car..

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Awesome !

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes.

What are you likely to buy next?

Will keep this one for 5 years or 100k miles and then more than likely buy a newer one.... I like to sweat the value out of my cars, the last one being an E class estate held for 6 years. Buy second-hand though as these depreciate until 5 or 6 years old, then great value.

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£12,500

When did you buy the car?

March 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

Bought the car privately, but it still had 6 months of a purchased warranty remaining. Value was top end for private and the mileage, however this was to gain the spec.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

6 seats, panoramic sunroof, rear entertainment, cavernous space, 4 wheel drive and much more !

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Great, smooth and quiet with power when needed. 7 speed gearbox a delight. 4 wheel drive on 19inch AMG wheels shows gives sure footed driving, particularly in the recent snow.

What's it like to park?

Choose your space and it's easy. If you own a car like this you get used to it and ensure you have the park aids.

Anti-roll bar linkage, however just a wear item.

What's most practical about your car?

Everything, including the rear electric opening tailgate.
