It is built well and we haven't had many problems with it.

I love the ride of it. I love the size. I would like more storage

mindy d

Great ride, supreme comfort

I really like the feel of the car. It handles wonderfully in the snow and rain. It is sleek and easy to drive. I also like the look of the vehicle.

Silver Mercedes, black leather seats

Vehicle transmission gave out, but overall is still a great car. Very comfortable interior and good looking exterior area

Brittany B

Professional and boss status

No problems, great reliable truck that drives smooth and has all the bells and whistles. Feels like your floating on a cloud. There is plenty of leg space in front and back and has 3 rows. Automate everything. The stance of this vehicle is professional and classy

Irene J

Drives smoothly spacious easy for family.

I love my SUV because it has 3 rows, so it has a lot of space. My truck is black and that is one of my favorite colors. Another thing I like about my SUV it has a back up camera and my mirrors fold in when I want them to.

It has a v8 engine, so it can accelerate quickly when needed.

The size of the vehicle. . Three rows. It has room for large items and people. The ride is comfortable.

Cynthia B

Great vehicle last a long time.

I love my vehicle it is the family car. Great ac, fully loaded. The only dislike is that when we take it to the sip it is expensive.

brenda D

Some bad things and some great things.

My transmission went out to the cost of $8000 at 102,000 miles. The engine light comes on occasionally but does not stay on long enough for someone to put it on machine. It is very luxurious, drives great, very comfortable. Lots of room especially with extra third seat. But if you use the extra 3rd seat for passengers there is not much room for them.

Mercedes is a good vehicle, but not worth the price.

We've had a number of issues with my vehicle. The air suspension has needed replaced along with the struts which was very costly. Oil changes in this vehicle are expensive as well. I think it has to do with the age of the vehicle. Over all I like the car, but would likely buy a less expensive vehicle maintenance wise in the future.
