I will tell you that the is not nearly as civil as I expected. It's a down-right ruff ride. Mercedes has a weak LCD interface IMHO, I can't believe that still don't have touch screen or Bluetooth streaming audio and small on the inside, VERY small. Do not buy this car if you are over 6'1". Other than that and the price, everybody should own one. It's a show stopper when those doors come up and the motor pulls like a freight train, sounds like its pulling a freight train too. Inspite of the viper noose on this car, it's actually faily well balanced and where it is weak on lateral traction, the stability control makes up for without screwing up the feel of the car.
