Summary
What does this car say about you?
Alway thought MBs were for older people with no style so it's always suprising to see people's faces when I get out in car parks - I'm only early 30s!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Would rather get a lift in the back of mine than anything else
Would you buy this car again and why?
Would def look at same model again - not cheap but better than equiv Audi & BMW models
What are you likely to buy next?
If not the same then Land Rover Discovery or BMW 5 series estate

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great to drive apart from in manual mode. Very quiet at motorway speeds.
What's it like to park?
Haven't got parking sensors so parking such a big car can be an issue in tighter spaces
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing so far although still don't like the tiptronic gear box. MB market this as a manual gearbox but it won't shift down when I tell it to.
What's most practical about your car?
Bags of room - drove down to France with 2 kids and assorted paraphenalia and it felt like a trip to the shops
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
No options available - would recommend getting parking sensors though
