 This is basically a good SUV; at first 
I thought it was too small and 
uncomfortable and after 3 years I am 
learning to live with the size, but it 
is still uncomfortable ie, seats very 
hard and suspension stiff.  Mercedes 
thinks (ha) that only off roaders buy 
SUVs.  Detroit also thought their cars 
were fine twenty years ago too!  At 95 
miles per hour it handles like a 
sports car and feels quite safe (I was 
late going to the airport).
 Fuel economy is good considering the 
weight of the vehicle, about 5k lbs, 
and the size of the motor.  Pulling 
our boat is easy and effortless and I 
am glad I had the trailer package.
