Performance Is pleasantly suprising. 0-60 8 secs which feels ok

that looks very nice, and very impressive if it can do 70mpg whilst still happily mixing it with all the other german barges on the motorway.

good stuff

Well I have driven it today for 1st time , early days, however the negatives compared to merc, seats are poor, no real side support, not enough adjustment on seats.
Not enough or clever storage inside car like merc had, feels cheaper compared to merc.
The positives are, goes very well, loads of torque and spools early, no cack diesel lag.
Feels very planted for a non sporty car with comfy 16" wheels.
All in all a nice place to be with good performance but merc ticked more boxes for me.
Merc was 3k more
