Amazing
I love this car, great pickup, awesome handling, smooth quiet ride. Easily the best car I have ever owned.
Traditional comfort & style
After 10 years of ownership, we can report that this car has exceeded our expectations. Superb comfort, magnificent style in the classic Mercedes Benz luxury sedan lines, this car is a treat to drive. Smooth and precise in its controls, xlnt cabin comfort with automatic climate control, good power and fuel economy, it has required little more than regular maintenance, brake pads and shock absorbers. It is one of the nicest riding cars we've ever enjoyed.

Great Value Luxury Car
This is a great value for a luxury car. Smooth ride and reasonably powerful V6 engine are quiet and efficient. It is a subtle car that does everything right. It is very reliable and feels very secure. Suspension is a bit soft in 1997 model but made stiffer in subsequent years. Depreciation makes it a great used car buy.
More than enough.
After washing, the shine off the pearl white is priceless. this is truly a sexy automobile. Although the RL is a dog at the line, its acceleration while already moving is terrific. the 3.5 v6 is great for highway driving but lack a little from 0 mph+. The interior is durable and classy, enough wood enough leather. I do hear a clunking noise whenever i go over a bump but my mechanic doesnt seem to think its anything to worry about (he has no clue what it is). The sunroof has a problem with the electronic STOP mechanism adn the left fog light is out. i think for a car thats 6 yrs old this is a smart choice if you want luxury you can use!
Best Car I've Own
This car is owesome, I hope I spelled it right. But this car feels like the most comfortable car in the world. Probably not more comfortable than a Cadi... but it is for sure up on that range.
