Overall, this is a fine example of Mercedes-Benz engineering. The transmission shifts fine when kept in drive, but when using the auto-stick mode, shifts are very delayed and sluggish. it's a 5 speed automatic with an auto-stick mode. The only complaint I have is the transmission. The issues listed above were due to high mileage. This car has given me almost no troubles. I have the Sport package, which includes a sport tuned Mercedes suspension (makes for a bit of a firm ride for a Benz, but still smooth nevertheless), a silver exterior, and a 2 tone black and grey leather interior with carbon fiber everywhere one would normally see wood trim. The car also is very economical I can manage 28-29 MPG on the highway, and around 24 in the city. The car is very quick, which surprised me when I first bought it, because I figured 4 cylinders + a heavy luxury car would make for a slow car, but was I ever wrong. I love hearing the whine of the Eaton M62 supercharger under acceleration, and you can really feel the boost at 2700 RPM and up. The supercharged 2.3 4 cylinder is a jewel of an engine. My Mercedes outperforms my old Audi in every aspect. I previously had an Audi A4 2.8, and this car puts that one to shame. This car is by far the best car I've owned. Pressure sensor inside the supercharger failed.
