The best car in its class. And thanks to depreciation, anyone can buy it.

Rush isn't irritating to me, but I'm not intimidated by accuracy, clarity, and humor.

Honestly this being a Merc they more than likely have it set up for continuous (and expensive) maintenance on the electronics (of which there are too much). We owned a c240 4Matic on a lease and the service bills alone were more than my mom's insurance and gas lol.

Keep in mind ours was a 2003 Merc so it was still at least very good quality. Now Merc just keeps expanding their lineup and introducing entry to the entry level cars for mass production. Good luck keeping their age old tradition of build quality up, LOL

Man this guy just keeps impressing me more and more. The most interesting reviewer to watch from AutoGuide. The rest talk like drones. The fatty is good at reviewing trucks.

That 2 spoke steering wheel keeps reminding me of a civic steering wheel from 2006.
