It looks good and works well, especially for a 16 year old car!
Great safety and it looks good. Only complaint is service for oil changes are expensive since it takes 8.5 quarts of synthetic oil.

The car is a really high quality mustang gt
The performance is similar to a mustang/camaro. The only issue is my sunroof is a little temperamental. I love everything else about the car. The gas mileage is real world a little less than I hoped I wish it came with a bigger gas tank, but, it is a performance car, and it is super reliable. I love the sport shift transmission but I seldom have occasion to use it. The backseat is useless unless you are a 5 year old, so it is effectively a two seater.

Would suggest it to anyone!
Since the purchase of my vehicle, I have had no problems with it! I have owned the vehicle for 2 years and have not had a major issue with it since, besides normal maintenance. The car runs smoothly and isn't loud or obnoxious inside the cabin. There are a variety of features, including navigation, front seat heaters, and a sunroof which I use often. The car fits 5 people comfortably and I would suggest this car to anyone. Whether you have a family or want a car just for yourself, I would invest in this Mercedes!

Best car I have ever owned.
It has performed amazingly. I haven't had any problems since I bought it. It is a 2 door hatchback and I am absolutely in love with the car. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone and everyone. I am not selling mine any time soon. It is the best car ever!

The repairs are not as expensive as you thing.
Driving a Mercedes is not like driving any other car. They are well made and handle amazing. I highly recommended it.

Repairs on German cars can be costly.
I love my car! I bought it used with 60, 000 miles on it, but in mint condition. The leather seats are very comfortable. They are worn but not torn because the quality is so good. All of the electronic components still work fine. The only negative thing is that where the time is displayed, small pieces of the numbers don't light up, so it can be a bit challenging to read. The car handles beautifully. When on the highway I have to watch my speed because it is such a smooth ride. I love this car.

Best car! Super fun to drive!
Drives like a dream! Very few problems with the engine and the way the car runs. Maintenance can be expensive due to the make of the car. Only problems I have had are with the convertible top getting stuck and seems to be separating at one of the seams. This little car can get up and go! Most fun car I have had.

The very small but speak car
I don't like my car for reasons that have nothing to do with the car itself. For instance, I much rather prefer an SUV than a small coup. My car is also very old and does not have a screen or backup camera, or even a USB plug. It is very antiquated. But the car is a nice looking car.

Clk-a vehicle built to last.
Ir has very high miles at this point. The ac/heater buttons break very easily making it difficult to turn the ac and heat on and off. In order to make the buttons work you have to take off the covers and find where the connections are in order to make it work.
