Value
Not sold it yet, but valuations suggest it will be worth about 50% of its value after 3 years.
Costs
Keep it below 80 on a motorway and it will deliver 30mph. Service costs have been reasonable, too.

Does what is says on the tin! Load lugger, but you know you are driving a big car.
Performance
Considering the weight, the performance is more that acceptable.

Reliability
The car has not let me down so high rating. It did take Mercedes three months to fix a heater motor problem, however.
Image
If you do not mind driving an estate car, I think this is as good as it gets. (Apart from a 320).
Comfort
Long range cruiser - the seats are quite firm, however.
