Over-priced servicing. Paying for the Mercedes name.

On the road
Driving
Very good to drive, if a bit choppy.
Performance
Quick and nimble. Ideal around-town car, but overpriced if that is all you require. Good on the motorway as well, but not the most comfortable car for long journeys.

No-one nicked it, more's the pity!
