Member drpepper has ordered one.
I have seen two on the road now. They look very smart. Two problems I see.
NO SPARE WHEEL.
The 'love it or loath it' iPad-style infotainment screen. Now the functionality may be great, so this would go some way to make it acceptable, but it is rather amusing to see New Mercs on the motorway driving past with over-size iPads on the dashboard.
Some have commented about the rough 2.2 engine, so check this out.
As always, a LONG test drive is the only way to make an assessment.
Personally, as you live in the Scottish Highlands, for the same reasons as my remote North Pennine location, I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.
Scenario. Serious tyre blow-out miles from anywhere. Tyre repair kit useless. No mobile phone reception. You are completely stuffed.
