  • Summary

    What does this car say about you?

    Well I like driving and I didn't like driving this, so I suppose it says I know a good car to drive when I drive one!

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

    Upmarket but probably for somebody of an older generation!

    Another BMW!

  • Driving it

    2 out of 5 2.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Quick but dull. This was my first Merc having always owned BMWs; it was sold within 8 weeks of purchasing and I went straight back to a BMW! The thing gave no feedback and just glided across the road. It made absolutely no noise when putting your foot down. Not a drivers car by any stretch of the imagination.

    What's it like to park?

    Easy with the front and rear sensors. Took some time getting used to the lights as a warning system as system only beeps when you are close to touching something, which is different to BMW!

  • Living with it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's most practical about your car?

    Huge boot!

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Command system was a good option.
