Well I like driving and I didn't like driving this, so I suppose it says I know a good car to drive when I drive one!

Upmarket but probably for somebody of an older generation!

No. Fuel economy sat at 30mpg after 1500 miles of mixed driving - not what I expected.

Another BMW!

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Quick but dull. This was my first Merc having always owned BMWs; it was sold within 8 weeks of purchasing and I went straight back to a BMW! The thing gave no feedback and just glided across the road. It made absolutely no noise when putting your foot down. Not a drivers car by any stretch of the imagination.
What's it like to park?
Easy with the front and rear sensors. Took some time getting used to the lights as a warning system as system only beeps when you are close to touching something, which is different to BMW!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Electric window on passenger side was faulty but I sold the car before it was repaired!
What's most practical about your car?
Huge boot!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Command system was a good option.
