Nice and comfortable, nicely put together apart from the rear tail rack which rattles, it’s a shame because it’s the only thing you hear when driving over bumpy roads. It’s annoyingly sluggish when pulling away, but on the motorway it’s fine whilst cruising at motorway speeds.

I absolutely love this car, and with a 34% discount on the RRP I could not find another car close to it for looks, safety, comfort and equipment. The diesel engine is not the nippiest but does the job. with DAB, lane departure, dual climate, heated seats, city parking, all round camera and 12 sensors to name but a few of its best points, I love it. To top this with a sports bodykit and 19 inch alloys it looks very good on the road. It cost under £20k. bargain.

The car is meant to be from a luxury brand. The reality is different. I got rid of the car after 6 months. Here are a few of the reasons. 1. The 2.2 Diesel engine is very noisy and feels very tractor-like compared to rival engines. You will always be aware of his noisy unit clattering away. It’s okay at motorway speeds but around town terrible. I can only assume Mercedes cars with this engine are the same. 2. The start stop is so unresponsive it’s a joke. I've never known such lag as the engine vibrates into life. It's hopeless. On other cars it's seamless. 3. The 7 speed gearbox is rubbish. Again unresponsive and even in economy mode keeps the gears are kept low and selecting reverse is slow. 4. The gear select lever goes forward for reverse and vice versa. Why? 5. The parking sensors do nothing but until you are inches from hitting something then beep wildly. 6. The dashboard is a dismal old fashioned looking mess. It’s a disaster. To change a track there are some nice retro buttons to press. Not on the touchscreen. What would they do that? It's poorly labelled and basic looking. I've given it two stars for the reason that it loses so much money from new. I bought it fairly cheap so didn’t lose too much when I swapped it. It was 6 months old with 4500 miles.

I absoulutely love this car, wanted a car frugal enough to return at least 50mpg and big enough to swallow my golf clubs and this does it with style to boot. Yes its not the most fluent but in sport mode or with the use of the paddle shifters it can still get me to where I want and in style.

This is a premium car at a value price! It looks and feels well engineered. Stand out features are seats are well designed and therefore comfortable for long journeys, ride quality that's excellent on pock marked roads and on motorways, and the security of AWD in the snow is a bonus. It's a good drive with good visibility and a well shaped practical boot. Not so good, though, is the position of its parking brake and its slight transmission hesitancy when pulling away from a stop.
