Reliability
Car drives like a new one.
Cabin Noise
Have had the car into Mercedes of Rocklin for a total of 8 days and they can't figure out how to fix the squeaking or creaking noise inside the car.
Power
The 302 hp V-6 engine is much more powerful than any of the 4 cylinder turbos I’ve had before. There is really no comparison to the quickness you feel. They certainly use more gas, but my commute is very short so I only fill up about once a month.
Ride and Handling
Mercedes knows how to make a great-driving car. It’s very comfortable and easy to drive. Great steering.
Styling
Mercedes always designs beautiful cars and I think they age better than just about any other brand. Mine is 10 years old and is a classic coupe shape that will look better with age.
Cost to Maintain
Every part on a Mercedes is expensive, down to the windshield wipers, but that’s why everything lasts longer. I’ve had Mercedes vehicles before and I think it’s wise to purchase the extended warranty. At least I’m covered for my first five years of ownership, even on a ten year old car.
