a car with the best value and economy.............

Purchased in 2015, nothing is broken except consumables until 2023. It has a bit of a turborek, so it's less driving, but it has an agile driving feeling.

Very sporty, handles extremely well.

Awesome vehicle. We drove it 759 miles in the first two days of owning it. Much of that driving was down through the Ozark Mountains to Grandson's graduation. We fell in love with the awesome pep and handling this car has. We are fans!

Not even 1 month ownership and it has problems!!!

I truly love this vehicle but I have only had this vehicle for not even one month and the check engine light has already come on! I am truly disappointed however the service provided by the dealership was amazing!

Best car I've ever owned

Far exceeds any car I've owned to date in style, comfort, reliability, handling, and overall performance. I'm incredibly happy with this purchase and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a small SUV/crossover with the best features.

This may be the best car I have owned

This car is fun to drive. It's a good size on the outside and plenty of room inside. It doesn't't have Apple CarPlay but all the other features you want in a luxurious sporty car. Mercedes Benz quality shows.

Reliable car

I really enjoy driving this car. In the 2.5 years that I've owned it, I only needed to replace a flat tire ($200). I wish the trunk was bigger and I would not purchase white/beige leather seats again because they get stains on them. I love the sunroof.

Great vehicle

This a great vehicle which meets my current needs. It has all the quality that Mercedes Benz offers, plus comfort and so many features! This smaller engine gets better gas mileage, but still has great acceleration. Handles fantastic - great on curves and manipulating through traffic. The instrument layout is excellent. Almost every detail shows MB quality and attention to detail. The interior is luxurious and well appointed. The rear seat is slightly cramped, but smaller passengers and cargo are no problem at all. The only moderate criticism is that the 7-speed automatic transmission is not as smooth on my vehicle- especially downshifting, which has a very mild "lurching" occasionally - - the shifting between gears could be smoother for sure. Still - a great vehicle and I love it.
