Buy the car and you would not regret , it's a dream for me . I own lots of cars : Audi A6, A3,passat, Merc's E320cdi avantgarde, Golf mk4 GT TDI ,BMW e39 530d M-sport and I don't miss any of them . None of this cars have so much room at the back..more than a Merc's S class ..the insurance it's in half compared with BMW .
