What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Rubbish due to cold start issues and visible rust.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No, poor ride quality, uncomfortable seat position. Bodywork poor and rusts easily. Cold start issues. A complete letdown given the expectation of quality given the reputation of Mercedes. Will go back to VW, previous Passat estate a far superior car in all but size.

VW Passat or a Caravelle.
