A Disappointment - Exercise caution!!
I purchased this vehicle in Oct 2016. This is my fifth Mercedes and I was anticipating an ownership experience similar to the previous Mercedes vehicles I have owned. Unfortunately this has not turned out to be the case. At the two week mark I noted an intermittent malfunction with the Bluetooth system. Shortly after that I noted a rattling noise in the vicinity of the steering column when driving on rough pavement. While the 2.0L 4 Cyl engine performs well enough, it burns more fuel than my previous vehicle's 3.5L 6 Cyl. To cap things off, in early December 2016 the vehicle sustained minor damage to the front passenger door when another vehicle backed into it in a parking lot. Due to the aluminium intensive construction, the repair bill was just under $5,000.00. I was told that had the same thing happened to my previous vehicle, the repair bill would have been under $2,000.00. Apparently you do not repair aluminium -- you replace it!! Altogether, a disappointing ownership experience. Exercise caution with this, or any other aluminum bodied vehicle.
