    The Merc is a great all-rounder

    The Mercedes is the most comfortable car to be chauffeured around in. It rides superbly, the seats are very comfortable and relaxed and Merc has finally included some essential creature comforts like powered seats and seat memory.

    The Merc has some cheap bits on its otherwise high quality interior. The central console has a lot of ordinary plastic, the grain of the dash doesn’t feel special and though the controls and knobs function perfectly, an over-riding sense of quality is missing.

    The dash is a mix of some very high quality and some pedestrian bits. We loved the way the switches worked too. However, a few things like the air-con temperature knobs don't have the quality feel that benefits a Merc. Also, the display screen smartly swivels out of the dash.
