This car will separate the boys from the men.

I love the space in my car. I have had my car for 5yrs. Good road car. Only thing repairs are crazy expensive. I have had the hydraulics taken off. The airbags went out twice. Then that was super expensive. All in all I love my r-class. Hopefully I can get the s550 again. The Mercedes will treat you right and last very long.

Mercedes R350 A great driving machine. Sporty with room for the entire family

This car is amazing. It has enough space for a family of 6 or 7. It handles the road great. The Mercedes R350 is a great car with good gas mileage and great road handling. It has dual sunroofs. It also has 2 TV headrests and a aux that will let you listen to the radio while everyone sitting in the back watches movies. It's sporty and classy and a spacious family car. I have never driven a car quite like this. I would recommend a Mercedes to everyone in the entire world. Don't miss out. If you haven't driven a Mercedes in your life you must test drive one at least once

It's a wagon not a minivan

The car is very spacious for families. Unfortunately the cost for repairs are outrageous. I wish that the quality overtime was better.

Mercedes Benz R350 Class Good Family Vehicle and NOT a minivan!

I don't drive very often, but the car is reliable and doesn't require much maintenance since i drive less than 6000 miles per year. It is comfortable and works for the family. The storage is less than I would like, but it is pretty good for a small SUV.

Rides well and dependable but lacks space in the back.

My car rides pretty good and is pretty dependable. There is not much space in the back and it is difficult to get to the 3rd row of seats.
