Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Cheapest 4x4 with leather and toys on second hand market, hence why I bought.
Costs
Owned for 6 months, cost me £600 in first non main dealer service.

On the road
Driving
Not great, very wobbly, hates corners, steering appears to be connected to wheels via cardboard and sticky back plastic.
Performance
Pretty slow, but you wouldn't want to race around in this trust me.
-
Living with it
Reliability
A few things at service hence cost, then engine mounts started to go. A transit van rattles less, cheap nasty interior.
Comfort
Suspension is from the dark ages, you're sitting up high and still hitting bumps harder than a sports car, very odd sensation.
-
Security and Service
Security
It didn't get nicked, unfortunately.
Service
Mercedes are just useless now days, every single person I encountered in our local dealership was so upfront with how much they honestly didn't care about you or your car, two or three were almost aggressive.
