Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Has depreciated more than I expected, despite my high spec.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    For a car of this class it is CHEAP to run. 60,000 miles and only £1,200 in servicing. 40mpg.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Floppy round corners, but solid motorway cruiser.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Excellent pull. You would think it was a V8. Not great cornering.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    No problems so far, although tracking is easily knocked out and then shreds tyres quick. Check it regularly.

    Image

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Has prescence on road, but looks a little dated with all the new models on the road.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    3 hour journey - no probs - arrive fresh and ready to go.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Why no deadlocks?

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Generally pleasant, but don't go out of their way to achieve the 'wow' factor. Come on Mercedes, it's not hard to get customer service right.
