This is not for you if you want a reliable economical car.

All in the car is driving oriented, if you are a fan of street driving without overspending, this is for you, you can feel good driving without the need to be over the speed limit.

This can be good track car from time to time if you are the kind of guy.

You should prepare yourself to spend on maintenance, this is a performance car, so you need some knowledge to DIY, or big pocket to live with this car.

If you want an M3 and you cannot afford it, than this might be just the right one for you ;)

I had this car only for few months.

Pros:
- It is very reactive for city driving
- Fully equiped even for base B200 model
- Visibility is nice (specially women will like this) it give a feeling of safety
- Very roomy

Cons:
- CVT transmission (I had no problem with it, but sometimes it can cause you issues)
- Suspension is no so smooth, not bad but defenetely not what you expect from a Mecedes-Benz
- Back seats are for kids manly or not long adults (still OK)
- Fuel economy not always what is declared (still less than 10l/100km even with winter tires)

This indeed one of German cars even if it's relatively old (2001) but stills running good, great engine performance with nothing more than oil changing and filters.

With the age we feel the exterior having some rust, but the body is still in good shape.
