    What does this car say about you?

    Mercedes has the Status symbol and people watch this new facelift car,.

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

    They love the appearance not the fuel usage.

    Will take Mercedes to task and sadly if necessary through the courts to get it to provide what is clearly promised. Or it must go back. I will not want it. ECO not really a benefit from my experience.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Will attempt to get this one right if that is an option, or move on with a different manufacturer who gives true technical data figures. Sad this was my 18th Mercedes.
