I bought this wagon used with 95k miles, love everything

I bought this wagon used with 95k miles, love everything about this vehicle except when some things go wrong or breaks. It's the small electronic parts, or seat switches that get you. I think about selling it because I have too many vehicles, then I drive it, and can't get ride of it. It is a beautiful classy gliding machine!

Perfect car

100k on the clock. Never broken down. The design is the perfect mixture of aggressive and elegant, from its pointed front bumper and flared wheel arches to its majestic 2-segment headlight setup. The suspension is cloudlike, yet it keeps you upright and stable even when you throw it hard into a corner. The AWD is incredibly refined. Took my wife and I up an 8000 foot elevation mountain with dirt roads covered in snow and ice. Bumped into a few snow chunks with the bodywork when gravity got the best of us and there wasn't a single scratch or dent. The automatic gearbox is very quick and responsive, and the wide tires deliver the power (of which there is plenty) very well. Excellent, excellent car!

Best car I’ve ever owned

Love this car! Too bad MBZ changed. This is a V6 has lots of power and is a pleasure to drive.Gets 22 mpg city and 28 highway. Solid car and I never get tired of it. You need to keep the maintenance done on a regular basis. This car will go 300K miles if you take care of it.

Mercedes stepping away from diesel in US?

If not for manufacturer issues like the swirl flap motor and oil cooler gasket deterioration which are considered normal wear and tear, this could be one of the nicest vehicles I’ve owned. If you’ve got the money to take care of it, you’ll love it.

Most fun auto to drive

This car is the best driving vehicle I have ever driven. It is heavy and hugs the road and makes you feel secure and safe in the auto.

Best Mercedes I’ve ever owned.

This car has been one of the best cars I’ve ever owned. It has always been a fun car to drive. It has the best paint job of any of my cars. It will likely have many years of good driving ahead.

Beautiful design and comfort!

The car has beautiful white instrument cluster, looks very nice. The soft leather interior makes the ride a comfortable ride. The overall performance is great! It has both touring and sport mode driving.

Best Mercedes I ever owned.

Responds well to my driving style. Very comfortable on long trips. It is 12 years old but looks and drives like new. This car will be going to college with my Granddaughter.
