I purchased this car after coming out of a 06 Infiniti M45 and I'm very impressed. Performance is outstanding. The car is smooth and whisper quiet at 75mph. Fit and finish is good and typical for German cars, the car feels solid. The exterior styling is so unique for MB so it's a real head turner. The interior definitely feels like a coupe. There is plenty of room for driver and font seat passenger however, this will come at the expense of anyone sitting in the rear. The Command system is a disappointment after coming from the M45. Navigation and audio controls are not as intuitive and voice activation is an option as well as bluetooth capability. Still overall I am very happy with the ca

I live in Chicago and found my dream car in Annapolis, they made me a deal I couldn't turn down. We drove it home the next day and I loved every minute of the drive. Comfortable, great looking "real head turner", lot of power and 26 miles per gallon. The way dash board lights up at night is like a 747.

I bought this car brand new and yes, it was very expensive to start out with but for me, it was all about the looks this car has. It looks so dang sexy both exterior and interior. Mercedes really outdone their selves when they designed this vehicle. I know that edmunds as well as other car critics have complained about rear seat headroom and foot room however, I am 6 ft and my brother is 6’1 ft and neither of us find it an issue. We drove it right after purchase on a 6.5 hour trip to Rosemary Beach, FL. which me and my brother took turns driving it therefore we both sat in the rear seat at some point with our wives (all of us rotated spaces) and there just as much room on the rear as there is in the MB E350’s or any other midsize car! I haven’t had any mechanical issues or other issue with this vehicle at all. I’ve only had to perform the factory recommended maintenance and installed a couple sets of new Michelin’s but that’s it. So it’s very reliable in my opinion. *it must be said that it ALWAYS has been serviced at the MB Dealership including the installation of new tires. Technology is my only issue; it’s a bit outdated to me compared to competition within the brand and elsewhere!
