Ahem. £50K is still £50K (mind you 8% off via a broker)

Too soon to tell, however I'm sure service time will be interesting.

Driving
Superb. Love it to bits.

Put your foot down and you're gone. No drama no fuss just gone.

Living with it
Reliability
12,000 miles and it hasn't missed a beat. Mind you one would hope not at this price.

Beautifully crafted and understated practical family transport. Who needs a 4 x 4?
Comfort
Great ride on (standard) air supsension.

Security and Service
Security
No Deadlocks so Tracker Fitted on Day 1.
Service
Oh Dear. Three local dealers weren't interested in giving a test drive. How come then a local broker was able to get a car direct from Mercedes for me for a week for me to try and give an 8% discount? Hope the service department fares better.
