    Not much more than any other executive saloon - shop around for servicing.

    Sure. Smooth quiet handling.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Great acceleration, nippy handling - road hold superb. Dual personality, cool dude or hot and racy.

    In my opinion, the older squarish shape is more in keeping with the vintage classic Mercs... it's a matter of personal preference.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Like sitting in an armchair, everything that should work, does.
