We purchased this car in August and been thrilled ever since! We are a family with three children and switched from an 2002 Odyssey. I have found that cargo space is adequate for regular shopping and school backpacks, sport equipment, etc. Longer trips are fine with a cargo box on top. The gas mileage that we are getting is phenomenal compared to the 2002 minivan and the car is a blast to drive (certainly in comparison to a minivan :). Safety of the vehicle is great, we've been rear ended on the highway and everyone was fine..the car really absorbed the impact well. I'm looking forward to driving this car for a very long time.

I have always wondered why people buy diesel cars, most important is the mileage. This car is luxurious, the leatherette does not tear or wrinkle at all. The aircon is super cold, the middle seats are limousine wide and depth, the front has excellent visibility with its hood slope downwards, the mirrors are large and offers clear visibility. the amenities are luxurious. It is most important that every 3k you change the oil with quality Benz oil for diesel engines. I've had this car since beginning and it just keeps on going and going and going without any major repair except the recommended ones. The secret is in the oil. if you don't change it every 3k miles, you will have major problems, as with any car. i love the middle seat and the extra wide door, it's so spacious and the head depth is generous. The only con I would put is the 3rd seat is small but i keep it folded most of the time for a family of 4-5. the folding side mirrors is helpful in tight spaces. best SUV i've ever owned. worth it if you can get a good 2008 R320 CDI, it's one of the best years ever on Mercedes Benz quality.

At first, I went to get a 4 door sedan, therefore I was hesitant to get what I thought of as a "minivan in disguise". But the more I drive it, the more I love it! I like the way it handles both on the highway and around the city. It feels like a Mercedes Benz car not a minivan or truck. People love the back seats, and the plentiful leg room available. The diesel model, which I have, is giving me great mileage per gallon of gas. I love that the seats in the back can be arranged in different configurations, very versatile. It is very luxurious inside. The sound system is excellent.
It's Not a Minivan

Due to the growing size of our family a car that seated 6 or more was in order. We did not want a minivan, already had an SUV, wanted a wagon or something that drove more like a car for our long road trips to the beach. This Crossover gives everyone their own room and plenty of it with a nice smooth ride. Bought used and it was well worth the price (new was out of our league), plus it has the Warranty so Mercedes service fixes almost everything.
Outstanding New MB

This car drives and rides like a car but has large seating (7) capacity and good storage availibility for whatever. It's handling is exceptional considering its size. This is one outstanding vehicle. My R is a CDI which gives me lots of power and good mileage for a 5000+ lb. car.
