Great car for those who want something practical

This car is awesome from a practical and luxury stand point. It has all the great MB features and provides comfort and reliability. We went from a Q7 to this car and enjoy it a lot more.

Nice looking

I saw this in the Mercedes front parking lot and absolutely loved the look of it. I feel the interior could be more plush. Stereo is a B+. We had to purchase the gps. Absolutely love the sun moon roof. Pretty good in town mileage 24+ freeway 33+. Corners like a dream! Really a fun car to drive. All in all for an entry level Mercedes we really like it. Gotta say this was my husband's dream brand and he LOVES it!

Very good handling

Great car unexpected, before I have this car I never thought to drive a Mercedes Benz in my life, after driving it, I think I will get another model of this brand in the future.

she's a keeper.

I found my perfect car. perfect size and power. great on gas I get around 33mpg. I love the HP and torque meter on big screen .it's sooo cool. most of the cars these days have all the features but the way it work s in Mercedes is completely different. some thing as simple as air condition. it's freezing cold in summer.

Great, relatively affordable car, for a Mercedes

Pretty powerful for an in-line 4 turbo charged engine, and I love the look and styling of it. The acceleration response can be a bit slow in the Comfort driving mode, but just throw it in Sport mode and take off. Have only had it for a year and would love to keep it, but potential maintenance costs worry me with it being a Mercedes. Gonna go back to a beater for a couple years and save up some more money.

Solid, stylish, fun

I'm very happy with this car/SUV. It feels solid on the road, zippy and fun to drive. I wanted a more compact SUV and this more than fits my needs. It's zippy enough to merge and get out of situations. I'm a car person and this is a great car to drive. I'm also very pleased at the gas mileage it gets. It's also been a low maintenance car and very reliable.
