 Great ride and handling as you can expect with German Cars in general.  I owned the ML350 before and I thought it had better ride than this one.  Gas mileage is OK and consistent with specifications.  Roomy interior but higher seats seem to interfere with tall person getting in and out.     Pros:  looks sharp and has a great road feel.  Lane departure warning is excellent and highly recommended.   Cons: electronics user interface are extremely poor, even dangerous.  Voice command is decade old technology.  Don't waist your money on Smartronix package it is useless at best - Does not self park as you might be led to believe and the cameras do not activate automatically when you pull into a parking spot.  Small screen without touch screen option is a HUGE miss considering the cumbersome user interface.  I bought the car 2 months ago because Android Auto is a "must have".  The car is already in the shop because Android Auto is not working.  Just think That because something sounds great, it may not be implemented as such.Mercedes has not been able to fix the Android Auto problem and has no projected date when it will be!Mercedes is a hollow brand, neither luxury nor reliability or customer service.
