So Happy With My Benz
For an entry level luxury sedan, this care has most of the bells and whistles, but not a lot of fluff that most don't need (Nav. in the age of the iphone). In addition, the care rides like a magic carpet. Just what you'd expect from a Benz. I am very pleased 3 months into ownership.
Pros
- Ride and Handling: Styling and comfort
