Used 2012 Mercedes-Benz R-Class Diesel Consumer Reviews
700,000 kms and still going strong !!!
This is the ultimate vehicle. What’s not to like. I can drive from Calgary to Fort Mac in the middle of winter 800+ Kms on a single tank of diesel with another day and half of city driving in Fort Mac. Nicer luxury interior than most cars today with beautiful leather and easy to use controls. Awesome sound system (I added a 12 inch JL Sub) for some more thump. The first 500,000 kms this car was part of my limo fleet and it was a favourite for some of the top Calgary CEO’s. That I regularly drove. Car has power, high end finishes and quiet diesel fuel economy. I’m still on the original engine and have changed shocks, front end work, all of the engine belts. Otherwise regular synthetic oil changes faithfully every 10,000 kms. Transmission oil change every 100,000 kms. I had a fleet of Lincoln’s, Escalades and these Mercedes. The Mercedes were always a favourite with the drivers especially when driving to Banff in a snowstorm…AWD was like riding on rails. If you can buy one, you definitely won’t be sorry. Will write again as I get closer to 1 million kms !!
