I have used this car for past few months. It was like my pal .I has enjoyed using it a lot. The car is typical of superb German engineering in several respects. It rides quietly and serenely, yet handles wonderfully, with a nice, solid "feel" to the steering, and minimal body lean. Ordinarily, a car handles well and rides poorly, or vice verse. Here, Mercedes has accomplished quite an engineering feat. It is having all good qualities where a good car should have. His car is super-fast with its large V/8 engine, yet at sustained speeds of 80 mph, it actually gets 27 miles per gallon! To me, that's flat-out amazing.

Entry and exit are easy, and the interior is comfortable for an over six footer like myself, both in front and back. Trunk space is sufficient, even with a "real" spare tire (instead of a bicycle tire) stashed away at the bottom. Both front passenger seats offer a myriad of positions, and the classic Mercedes power seat controls certainly help in finding the "perfect" seating position. The dashboard is minimalist in appearance, but sufficient in providing useful information. The Bose audio system is merely OK, but more attracting features are there where anyone enjoys using it.

routine oil changes are problematic it would appear that it takes a special course in Mercedes servicing to properly install a new oil filter, as none of the "quick-lube" places I have ever been able to sufficiently install a new filter without oil leaking all over my garage floor. Mercedes service does it well, but at a price roughly $25 to $35 more - and for cheaper oil. That's a lot just for an oil change.

5 Speed Electronically Controlled Automatic Transmission, there are automatic gare system. Fully automatic. This is main advantage of the the car, that is the reason why people use this car. This car is highly equipped.

Some times there will be lot of problem with maintenance and it is little costlier than any other car, whatever may be I don’t think any bad qualities are there in Mercedes. The more I like in my car is it gives lot of mileage as well as a smooth drive. It has all inbuilt features. Where no one can reject this car by using it. Actually the person of any age can drive easily. It is very easy to handle and maintain to. Many people see the quality before they buying a good car are mileage, engine, smoothness etc. in all accepts the car is good.

I generally recommend people using this car who are very much particular about the mileage and want to enjoy the comfort. The most memorable movements I can say is when ever I go drive with my family members to picnics .where ever I go I in ma car itself. It never troubled me much. I really enjoy a lot by driving it. Many of my friends used this car, they enjoyed it a lot.
