CarExpert's Take

James Wong

Marketplace Editor

James Wong drove this car and these were their findings:

Hits

Distinct styling from C-Class, S-Class
Solid spec inclusions, tech-luxe vibes
Four-pot turbo punches above its weight

Misses

Transmission is clunky at low speeds
Expensive option packages
Not as spacious in the rear as you'd think

Reviews
