Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

This car is sensationally fast. It feels much faster than my 2005 Corvette, even though the published performance figures are virtually identical. The Airmatic DC adjustable suspension produces noticeably different handling and ride characteristics in its 3 different settings, unlike other less-sophisticated adjustable suspensions. What I like best about this car is how it's a smooth, quiet luxury car until I mash the gas pedal - it has a Jekyll/Hyde personality. Very fun. Only complaint is that the harmon/kardon stereo system is not loud enough.

Faults:

Oil change reminder came on early... that was traced to a dealer fault when he programed the car for me.

MB is not at fault.

General Comments:

This car is too good to be true. You have a 4000lb sedan, with a top safety rating, 369ft/lbs of torque and a 0-60 in 6.6 seconds! AND all of this with 37mpg? Someone pinch me!

I can't say enough about how well made, and tightly fitting the interior is. They spared no expense on the leather, wood and plastics they used. Solid chrome is real.. not plaster with painted or applied on fake chrome.

The seats are sturdy and comfortable, made of a high grade leather and vinyl. They're also shaped about as good as any seat I've been in except that of a Volvo.

The car is filled with tons of features that you'd expect from a top end car, such as automatic window shade, and head rests... fully programmable passenger and driver seats.. The steering wheel and drivers seat move out of the way as you enter or exit the car. The bi-xenon lights are auto leveling and directional.

There is a comprehensive on board computer for various features to be turned on or off such as they daylight running lamps, the time delay on the lights after you exit the car (both headlights and interior). You can program just about every feature of the car to be on or off, and various perimeters as well.

The car is dead quiet above the speed of 30.. and below 30, only during acceleration do you even hear a faint smooth diesel sound. Not the clanky diesels I remember. Furthermore, there is no smoke or soot from the exhaust, and there is absolutely no vibration at idle inside the car.

The handling with the 17" 245/45 tires is also amazing for a car of this size. A car designed to cruise at 150mph has to have a great suspension, but this exceeds any of my expectations.

I cannot recommend this car strongly enough.
