    Value

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Poor - overpriced new, heavy depreciation.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    MB servicing, 2nd service £550 + extra's not covered (rear discs) = £800!

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Reasonably comfortable, better on motorway than around town.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not bad, even sounds sporty when worked hard.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Never failed to start, never broken down - front suspension a bit of a weakness.

    Image

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Looks good from the front, poor rear.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good - caries 7 well with the additional rear seats.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Not on anyone's 'pick list'.

    Service

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Service is poor, not interested, if you question or are dissatisfied then your not the sort of person who should have a MB (can you afford one sir!).
