I'm looking for a replacement for my Frontera(no taking the p@ss) as I no longer need a 4x4. We do alot of distance as a family so I need a BIG car!
Spotted a few of these merc's around of late and quite like the look of them. Anyone on here had any experience of them good or bad?

Cheer's.

Mac.

Van in a very very poor disguise, looks like a Transit, sounds like a Transit, handles like a Transit, though have plenty of room inside(like a Transit). That's why they look cheap for a Mercedes......

Very bad van, sorry car, go look at a Previa its much better.

Built in Spain (very badly ) Absolutely shocking build quality - my brother-in-law suffered with one for three years: water coming in from sunroof surround (never fixed), window switches failed, central locking went mad (couldn't lock the car from the outside, just wouldn't do it ), rear window surround came off, front bonded windscreen popped from bodywork, rear bumper fell off! You get the picture ... Cars are better built, I think.

Thank's for the reply's.
I've given the idea up as a bad job! I had a test drive in one on my way home from work. It's a van no more no less.
I think I may have to talk the wife into a Scoob wagon to cuddle up to my Evo at night, and sod the need for a big car.
