Potentially great auto. Good power, great torque, great gas milliage. The reliability of the car is terrible. It has been towed five (5) times! Three times for total failure of the compressor required to support air-suppension system. Complete transmission failure at less than 70.000 miles. (replaced under starmart extended warrenty.) "Water" in electronics module totally dissabled. Other problems: glove box replaced, GPS/Navagations system inoperative. Front passenger window oftens fails to raise.

My wife had always wanted a Benz. I've driven BMW's for the last seven years. I must say I'm very impressed with this car. While it doesn't handle like a BMW, it is none the less very impressive. I love to drive the car. The weekend I bought it, I drove it 1,000 miles and loved it! I definitely have moved over to Mercedes Benz!

Navigation system can still be more friendly, but the car drives itself especially when in trouble.

This car has been surprisingly easy in the time I have owned it there is so much information out there I've owned many cars and in the time I've had it I'm very suprised it being a 20yo car now it has amazing power some things are a little pricey but to have a Merc I've found it to be worth the trade u get what u pay for I got very lucky I think and got it from a person that loved it before me I think I get in it every day she starts right up everything works and does it's job it took a little learning and getting used to but I'm thoroughly impressed I've owned plenty of cars that show problems even soon than this the only thing that came up was a fluke and cleared itself I think it has a couple small wiring shorts that I have to look into but still happy starts up drives heats and cools the A/C is amazing it freezes you to death... If u don't turn it down you feel like you are in the middle of a winter wonderland in the middle of 90°+ heat. I would recommend it it's a amazing machine and I'm very thankful to have it...
