Solely reviewing the car for its time, a 2002 vehicle, the car is luxurious and is clearly made with high-quality materials in its interior and exterior. The transmission must have also been of high quality, as it did not give out/need replacement until January 2017 after ~180K miles. The car is very stylish, spacious, and has a beautiful build; however, its requirement of premium fuel makes it a rather unappealing buy for a college student like myself.

Story
The sunroof is a great plus for when it gets warm in the spring and summer! Driving with the sunroof open and blasting the music is always a positive feeling.
Pros

The premium gasoline is a major setback as well, as gas can often cause significantly more. Certain other features (aesthetic and electronic) are also missed in such an old model.

I love Mercedes-Benzes vehicles because they are incredibly safe vehicles. I am not the safest driver in the world, and I love that they have metal frames that keep me and my passengers/ loved ones safe.
Pros
1. Safety. 2. Size. 3. Prestige. 4. Turning Radius.
Cons
1. Parts are hard/expensive to replace over time. 2. Gas is expensive. 3. Transmissions have been a problem in this car, and other Benz' that I've owned. 4. The engine in the windows has broken on me several times.
