Nice little Benz two seater
Ron S, Chicago, IL, 01/27/2017
2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris Cargo 3dr Minivan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7A)
Perfect size, good quality and a nice ride make this van a good purchase. With Mfg incentive a good price made this worth the extra money. Needed a 8 ft bed so this beat the competition hands down. I would like a few more of the options, but the dealers did not stock vans with the extra safety options. The van really needs to have larger mirrors to view the blind spots, adding a … stick-on is not a good option for an already small mirror. Ride is nice, handling is great and noise is minimal, just wish it was fwd or awd for northern climates.

2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris Cargo 3dr Minivan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7A)
We have 47k miles on our Metris cargo van. We carrie 400 lbs in it and use it about 3 days a week in our business. We are on our 3rd set of tires and it has been lined up 3 times. The strut bushing went out at 25k and is bad again now that its out of warranty. Now the A/C is working intermittently, the wipers are hitting one another. many things where repaired during the warranty period … not listed here. There is 11 pages of discussion about the tires in the metris forum with no help from Mercedes. dealership says its a characteristic of the vans. Thanks for the help with your peice.
By the time we got rid of it the transmission was slamming into 1st gear and the screen went black.
Huge & Efficient

2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris Cargo 3dr Minivan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7A)
I like this van a lot, in a lot of ways. It is huge, and pretty fuel efficient for such a large vehicle. It handles very well, although it doesn't seem to brake as well as I would like. It is very robust, with good safety features. It is pretty comfortable, except I bang my knees getting in, like every other van, and the steering column doesn't telescope as far as I need. Now for … the negatives: The radio and navigation are very difficult to use, like every other Mercedes. You would think they would figure this out eventually. The cloth seats hold dog hair like nothing I've ever seen. They should make lint rollers out of the seat material. The view from the backup camera is very poor, especially at night. The radio controls are very hard to reach, and difficult to use. The seats are very rugged, but also heavy, and the rear seat does not fold into the floor. With a few changes, I suspect this van could easily sell out the smaller Toyota Sienna and Honda Oddessey. Overall, this is a great van for the money!
