ive seen loads of rusty mercs. makes me laugh that people slate fords for it.
vauxhalls,mercs,old bms,fiat,lancia,alfa,rovers. they all do it but fords are the one slated for it. at least the fords didnt cost 70k and do it.

my favorite thing is the trip box, not sure if id ever buy a car without one again. it super smooth

the 4 x 4 system makes the car feel like it half the weight

performace wise its not super quick of the mark (0-60 is about 5.6 secs) but the in gear accelaration is superb

no turbos or dodgy supsension to worry about like the rs6 and it has been faultless ableit the service being pricey but its not due again for ages now

its not missed a beat
