Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
It's a beauty, but it's not cheap or perfect.
Costs
Servicing, general wear and tear plus loads of hi-tech gadgets can fail, which proves very costly (especially with M-B labour costs!)

Driving
Owning the limo makes it feel a little vague, yet the V8 gives it some real oomph on the motorway.
Performance
Very impressive, but fuel costs aren't so.
