Consumer Reviews
"I wasn't sure when I bought this vehicle just how much I was going to like it after my Land Rover but I have quickly learned to love it. I love the elegant styling, the quick response from the V6 and the 7 speed automatic but above all I love the room and comfort. It is way more economic than the Land Rover and carries everyone in more comfort with room to spare. I find it a perfect combination of a vehicle for the family or for turning up on business and taking the client to lunch. It never fails to impress people. Take into consideration the All Wheel Drive and you have something that is both summer and winter friendly. Looks, practicality, performance, safety, comfort this car scores high in all areas."

"Not sure if it is a minivan, suv, station wagon, or muscle car- It tries to do everything and is successful at most. Yes the transmission is a little funky, but it does a great job of keeping the revs down in the engine's torque range. The car is amazingly smooth yet responsive. It handles like a smaller car despite its 4900 pound weight and rather large size. Fuel economy is in the low to mid twenties with no real effort to stay out of the throttle. Jack rabbit starts are just too much fun with this five liter V8. And it consistantly wants to run well over the speed limit. The interior lives up to expectations; typical new school Mercedes. Everything adjusts to suite the driver. The oversized rear doors open out 90 degrees and are far better than sliding doors. Third row is adequate for adults. Seats fold into variety of versitle positions. People are constantly asking what is that thing. Best of all...........It's made in USA."

"I have been so happy with this crossover. I've never owned a Mercedes-Benz before. It is incredible! Comfort is a big plus. The multi-contour seats are awesome! You can comfortable seat 2 adults, 2 big adults, in the 3rd row, no problem. It is a pleasure to drive with power to spare. The only con I can come up with is that the back doors are long. Longer than the front doors. Also, the back doors swing out almost to a 90 degree angle, which is great in some instances, but with kids you have to be careful where you park. If the kids don't carefully open the back doors, it's easy to bonk the car next to you because they are so big and swing out so far. It exceeds expectations on the interstate. This is what it is best at. Cruising along the interstate, hills are no problem. The speed the cruise is set to is steady and effortless. Shifting is not noticed. In my humble opinion the pros are too numerous to list. Test drive this crossover and be ready to fall in love!"

"I bough the car lightly used only with 13500ml 2 years ago. Excellent car over all. one think I'm not Happy with the service a lot of many for just checking the car.other than this. I have no complaints at all. I am just loving every bit of it. The interior is great, I love the exterior style except the front view need to be a little more aggressive, viewed from any other angel it is a beautifully executed design"

"I was needing a vehicle that qualified for a small business suv tax break. I look at getting a large SUV, and few other trucks and then I saw this car. I have to admit that I was not overly impressed when I bought it. I had purchased it because it was the best value i could find that met the tax deduction on 6000 GRVW. I have driven it for a month and the more I drive it the more I love the car. Best value for styling and performance you will find."

"We bought this car 1/2 year ago and haven't regretted it. Sold a 2002 Jag and bought this vehicle with 30,000 miles. Excellent vehicle, roomy, smooth. The styling takes a bit to get used to but it has grown on me. I work at a local university and the young people seem to like to look while older adults don't like it as well. If you want a comfortable car with some style, put this one on your list."

"I bought this pre-owned for a good price. Some question the looks- I think the fastback look is awesome. This vehicle is very smooth and quiet and luxurious and big on room. The back doors are huge but one learns to handle them in tighter spots. I would never have paid the new price for this though since I have had a little time in the shop due to some warranty items. Overall I would recommend it- traded my Acura MDX for it & like having a car/suv/van/crossover Benz!"

"Large interior, SMOOTH in all conditions, better mileage than estimates (surprise) and better than my Sequoia, nice to drive a unit that you don't see on every street corner. The price is a little higher than some but the quality is excellent."
