 I've had this car for about 3 mo's and bought it used with 78k and so far it's been a decent car.My gripe is mainly the lil buggy issues. 1. Driver side front parking lamp went out, now it's working again.2. Instrument cluster stopped working however the center digital center gauge is working fine and the dash lights still work. In other words, all the needles are at 0.It's an excellend drive and it's pretty quiet on the road/freeway but Mercedes is suppose to be a well made automobile, but with little annoying things like this coming up it could potentially make the driver not want to purchase this brand of car again. Ps: This car has automatic trans.
