Living with it
Reliability
Mine is too new, but expect its ok except for eletronic gadgets.

Cool as a Mercedes.

Low headroom very unlike older Mercedes.

Security and Service
Security
Silly electronic gadgets everywhere.
Service
Very arrogant - very, very expensive dealer servicing - very little servicing actually required but to honour the MB warranty... even an oil change is a big deal as underside is sealed so not DIY friendly, so I am changing car brand.
