I have had my Mercedes for about 9 years. And it is a 2014. I love this car. It is durable, safe and stylish. The drive is amazing. The engine and transmission is in tip top shape. The car has a class and style of its own. The manufacturer of this car knew, how to be build a vehicle that would last as long as you do your preventive maintenance on it. I would like to say that this is the only vehicle that I would purchase as in the future. It speaks for itself.
