Economy
Value
Bought at 6 years old and heaviest depreciation has already taken place. Still has 1 year warranty left.
Costs
I don't go with the flow on this one. I don't think that Mercedes dealers are as expensive as some make out.

Driving
Very responsive. Handles very well. Gives driver plenty of confidence in car's capabilities.

Excellent performance, 0-60 under 10secs when you need the power and around 38-40 to the gallon.

No worries.
Image
Although replaced by the newer model with sloping front and round headlights this car still looks classy.
Comfort
Great in the front but a little tight in the rear.

Alarm and immobiliser.
Service
Mercedes Benz of Dorchester even bring a loan car to my house for me when a service is due and drop the car off at home for me when finished. You cannot argue with that!
