As with all Mercs, the steering is soo light, its un-nerving. Feels like their nothing connected between the steering and the road wheels. Its a big car too, as in long, but being an auto means its easy to drive. Feels a little bit dated inside compared to the newer Mercs. Descrete too, de badge it and no body will know. Resonably bomb proof, though watch out for Cat converters giving up. Thats a several grand touch (4 IIRC)
