Very reliable

The best SUV I have ever owned. Prior to this I had Mercedes Benz GL 450 2008 . which was totaled due to water damage resulting from drainage blockage of the air intake well. Could not get it fixed.

Comfortable to ride

This car met my quest to have a SUV luxury car, and I am glad I purchased it. I also like the comfort this car provides. I am not quite sure why there were no monitors for my children.

Jet smooth Luxury!

This full size SUV has exceeded our expectations. Not to mention all of the safety features. The MB dealer was very professional and made the car buying experience memorable and fun.

Beautiful & Useful

My Mercedes-Benz is a lovely, comfortable car except for one thing---the head rests in the second row of seats are very uncomfortable! For such a luxury car, I would expect they would be more flexible and adjustable for younger children, which they are NOT! Other than that, the car is wonderful

Upgraded from Lexus to Mercedes Benz

Overall very good, good room and great comfort. Twin Turbo V6 gives very adequate performance, no need to move up to the 550 with a V8. Also gets about 22 mpg - not bad for a big SUV. The only thing I reduced was the design for the rear view mirrors (outside). The seem small to me and don't have great vision, but they don't stick out too far either. Bought this because the Lexus GX 460 didn't get as good of mileage and the wife wanted room for seven passengers. In that regard I think the MB is much better and about the same price.

Great luxury and performance car

The car met our needs as a family AND it provided the style and comfort we were looking for. Additionally, we found the price to be very reasonable given that we were looking for a reliable vehicle.
