My wife and I love this car. We paid a tad under $54k, but we have all the bells and whistles including the diesel version. Buy it.....you wont' be disappointed.

We make trips to Costco and have never had a problem, you just have to be a little creative and plan out how to pack things in. We recently went to a wedding across the state with the car full, my wife, both in-laws and two kids-one in a toddler seat and one in an infant seat. We packed a cooler and enough clothes for 3 days with no problem. We used soft bags, not hard suit cases, and utilized the spaces between the seats. Amazingly, everyone was comfortable and no one complained, including the toddler.   Another tip, if you remove the spare tire that area can hold a few good sized bags. I would not recommend this if you are going someplace remote, but for highway trips the spare tire could be sacrificed. Of course I did not tell the wife about removing the spare tire until after we had returned home. Its always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission:)

I find reasons to go for a drive.   I did have a KD box installed by the dealer that upped the power and mileage. There will be no warranty issues because they treat the KD box like an AMG - built for MB.   Love the power and this thing is quicker than my Toyota was. (The R class weighs about 5200 pounds.)   Get one - you'll love it.   Room is great: back seat leg room is great, storage is great, and it is a very user friendly car.   I wish they had more upscale floor mats though. The ones that came with it are cheap looking.
