I've had my 500L since April having traded in my pink 500 which I loved and hubby's B class merc automatic. Having both retired we really didn't need two cars. How I wish we had kept the merc! (Not to mention my beloved pinkie) We started out asking for a test drive and before we realised it had traded in the two cars and bought the L without a test drive! It's comfortable to drive and be a passenger in, but the B****y bleeping when changing gear or function! Use it in manual and go from N to 1 without your foot on the break and it's beep beep beep beep with the message to repeat function with foot on brake (same happens when in auto) change from 1 to R beep beep beep beep repeat function with your foot on the break. It drives us absolutely BONKERS!!! :bang:It's no point taking it back to garage as the cars are so new the mechanics have not been trained properly - I had to work out myself how to turn the speed beep off which had been set to 20 (yes 20) mph. The engineer didn't have a clue and nor did the sales staff. They only just about managed to help us fix up our phones. All in all a very sorry sort of car. I've only seen one other on the road so it's not exactly setting the auto world alight. and as for the adverts in the Sunday papers suggesting we find somewhere to have sex in the car :yuck: All in alll not a happy bunny
