Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Brilliant. The performance feels fast and for a car of this size and weight, it really does handle well.
What's it like to park?
Simple enough with the Parktronic, but narrow parking spaces need to be avoided due to the width of the doors (rear doors are large for access to the back row of seating)

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
A couple of problems (air con not cold enough, whistling to heating system) but all problems were put right by Mercedes under the 12 month warranty given with used purchase.

The versatility of six seats when needed
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
the COMMAND system along with the Harman Kardon sound system is excellent. iphone connectivity was also fitted by Mercedes so the music can be operated through the steering wheel and the phone through the command system.
