Good ride but wallows and never feels very safe when cornering at speed.

Ok, but no fireball. Engine coarse and noisy when pushed.

Living with it
Reliability
Windsreen wiper mechanism failed twice - over £500 to fix each time.

Better image than BMW or Audi.

Comfortable in a straight line. Not a lot of interior space.

Security and Service
Security
No problems, but immobiliser system is a pain to use.
Service
Dealership less than helpful - they stated that the WW problem was a design fault and I should write to M-B to complain.
