Economy
Value
Entry level M-B, so not as good as others in their fleet but still better than many other makes.
Costs
Good, but expensive parts/labour makes it a 3.

Driving
Fun to drive for a 'Postman Pat' vehicle. Light (a bit too light at higher speeds), responsive, but lacks usual M-B quality (built to a price perhaps).
Performance
The 160 petrol is perky and good to drive. Nothing outstanding, but a nice all-rounder.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Had no problems so far.
Image
The badge helps and it's a fashionable shape. Ageless and classless too, which is good.
Comfort
For a short wheelbase, high vehicle, it is very, very good. Seats and soundproofing comfortable and controls good.
