Driving it

Effortles, Foor a long day behind the wheel I honestly choose the Viano over a 2012 S Class!

Cavernous interior with enough space for 7 PLUS their luggage. (A lot of cars can carry 7 but few can carry their luggage as well).

Power operated (from the door or the dashboard) sliding doors are a must, as is the factory tinted privacy glass.
