We really love the car. Maintenance is expensive - if you use the dealer. Parts can be also - but eBay. amazon and other sites have mitigated that. Runs about 17 miles to the gallon on average with about a 320 mile cruise range and when you burn premium - as this must - that is important. Drove it for 250 miles during snow/ice to get family to safe ground. Used the paddle shifters and had no problems maintaining control while others around us slipped and slid all over the place. Will probably get another one around 2025....'cause at this price it has to last a while!Mar 31, 2015

This isn't your mom's family car. Mercedes puts plenty of sporty handling and power in this SUV. Plenty of leg room in the front two rows third row is a little tight for adults. Very stylish and very comfortable to ride or drive.Oct 20, 2014
