On the road
Driving
Good handling and cornering - not much body roll.
Performance
People say that the 1.8 is not as responsive - I think it's good - I've done around 120mph on the M6 in my Merc.

Living with it
Reliability
No breakdowns, starts first time, no rattles.

Come on people! It's a Merc! No more said!
Comfort
Confortable seats, could do with an armrest in the front and the steering don't adjust. Steering wheel is just too damn big - can't get in and out easily, ONE electric mirror on the passenger side, good driving position.
