"Great vehicle for the price. Overall this van has plenty of space, great fuel economy, fairly comfortable to drive, but it does lack in the power department. This vehicle isn't designed to get up and go, so you have to be ready for anything. I would buy another one if I could find the same deal I found locally."

"We purchased two Sprinters as delivery vehicles. The drivetrains and praticality of these trucks are amazing. Excellent Power, Payload, and Handling. The weakest point on these trucks for us has been the doors. Latches Fail, A-Pillars Bend, and Rear Door Hinges could be better. Bought the first one (an 05') June of 08'. Bought the second (an 04') in October of 09'. Will be purchasing a third in 2011. You could nitpick at little things but overall the package as a whole works."

"Well I don't knOw where to start I bought the car yesterday from rbm of Atlanta. I do hope it's very reliable. It's a definate change from my chevy work truck which was a 4.3L V6 compared to a diesel 2.7L V5 so I hope to get great gas mileage but overall I think it's a great work truck so far."

"I have owned four sprinters and I will buy another one in the future. They feel like a sadan. The handling is surprisingly tight and acceleration for a diesel that gets over 20 miles to the gallon is supurb."

"Our company has a fleet of these. They get great fuel mileage and drive well with large loads. Unfortunatly they are hard to find someone to repair them when they breakdown and they need repair very often usually at considerable cost."

"The most unreliable truck I've ever owned. Truck 1 blew a turbo the first week and destroyed the engine. Truck 2 has had a $850. brake job, SEVEN warranty calls in 25000 miles for poor build quality. Intercooler hoses not tightened, battery cables loose, wipers falling off repeatedly, every plastic interior part breaking, radio failure, security locking things down, and low fuel pressure in manifold. I expected better from Mercedes. I expected better from my neighbors poor old Yugo. The only bright spot has been 19 to 21 mpg. I wanted to give it 0 stars for reliability but program made me give it at least a one."

"I am a courier in Dallas TX. Other drivers asks me how much I spent for my van. When I tell them, everyone of them say "Thats too much"! But what they fail to realize is that when they are spending $140.00 for their chevy's and ford's every two days in fuel. I spend am spending about $100.00 for every three days. Also, with the cargo space I can carry more than anyone else. It has amazingly good low end power. I have to move about 50 pcs of paper @ 50LBS. Helga (my Sprinter) pulls it with no problem. Needless to say I will never own another van until she dies with me. (Note: I will not buy a new one due to they have the Dodge Cummings. I will ONLY drive a 2006.)"
