Beautiful but at a bit of a cost
I enjoy the smooth ride of my vehicle, as well as the leather seats and the sun roof. However, it gets very hot in the summer without any type of window tint. It is also very costly to maintain. Overall, I do like my vehicle. It is beautiful and luxurious.

Mercedes runs very well and for a long time. I put a lot of miles on my Mercedes and it runs fantastic. It is great on gas and does not have to be repaired very often.
It is very reliable it hardly ever has to go in to be fixed. When it has to be fixed it is fairly expensive.

It is a nice car, but you have to be ready for the hefty maintenance cost.
Nice luxury ride, spacious inside, great color. Maintenance is a bit pricey, only can be worked on at the dealership mostly.

High maintenance, reliable, bad on gas, in good shape.
Didn't know Mercedes-Benz had so many locks & codes to everything. Drove to the gas station, pumped my gas, got back in the car key wouldn't turn. Replaced key, shifter and computer, now car stuck in neutral ??.
