An Fantastic Ride

Love it. Suspension is so responsive. My R320 has AMG styling package plus a performance module. Hate having to sell it. Seats are very comfortable!

Very dependable

We have owned it since 2010 and have enjoyed the vehicle for the past 10 years. AWD and safe vehicle that will get 25+ mpg on the highway. Very sharp looking SUV/Crossover. Black exterior with 2-tone interior that is like new.

Bought it when it was already 7 years in service.

A great car with so many safety features and best value. Spacious interior and stylish exterior. I own a V6. It’s a pretty heavy car so V8 maybe better than V6?

Has all the options one could ever need.

I love the look and the six are the most comfortable out there!!! Most cars only fit four comfortably the fifth is squeezed in the rear seat. Most SUVs too boxy.

Lots of car for money

Overall great car. Sad it's discontinued. Lots of vehicle for the money. Extremely comfortable for 6 people. Not a lot of cargo if fully loaded with passengers but all in all worth the money.

Excellent 7 seat car. Does't look like a minivan.

The car is great. All 7 seats are adjustable. Very comfortable inside with 7 passenger, or very spacious with just 5 passengers. It has plenty room even on the 3rd row.

Love the space

This car might all of our needs. We're looking for a larger family vehicle that we could fit our two car seats in and still have some cargo room. This vehicle has fit all of that and more.

This is the most versatile car/SUV for the $$

This car has tons of room. All rear seats can be folded flat for hauling big items. The AWD is a bonus! Very easy to get around
