  Very functional car - 2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
  By scott - May 16 - 8:13 pm

  This is the most functional vehicle we have ever owned. Great power, fantastic in the snow and very comfortable. 2 trips to Palm Springs and the car was a pleasure to drive. Get the panaramic roof for sure. A true 6 passenger (adults) vehicle.

  Awesome vehicle with superior Quality!! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
  By Alfar16 - May 16 - 5:20 pm

  I traded a C300 for an R350 because of an expanding family. The vehicle has not disappointed on bit. I fit my family of four with ease and without baggage, this vehicle will fit 6 people comfortably. The car lacks a little power but is not noticeable once one the highway. No problems so far with as Ive read in some reviews. The vehicle has striking presence and luxury is apparent as you roll down the street. I would definitely keep the R-350 for a long time as comfort is not comparable for this price range.

  No Buyers Remorse - 2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
  By Richard Poe - April 11 - 3:00 pm

  I drove a Suburban (or some version of it) for 15 years, and was ready for a smaller, more driver friendly car. This is it. The V8 is great, mileage a surprising 19/22, and I love the handling and responsiveness compared to the suburban. Its so aerodynamic, I cant feel a gust when I meet an 18 wheeler. While storage is not what I was used to (how could it be?) it is still very good. This car had 7000 miles (put in service 1/07). It was CPO and I bought 1 extra year ($1595), gave me 5 1/2 yr, 100,000 warranty. Paid less for it than my last Denali XL, and feel I got a lot more car. It is sure more fun to drive.

  6k miles later and we still like it lots - 2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
  By Rod - April 7 - 2:13 am

  After 6k miles and hauling around kids and Home Depot runs, groceries, it still is a pleasure to drive around. Heard reliabilty issues but ours must have been built on Wednesday because so far its been hassle free. The comfort level is Big Benz all the way. Lots of power, great sound system, easy to get in and out of. Were glad we got it.

  R-Class Beauty is only skin deep - 2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
  By Rich Baker - March 29 - 6:10 am

  We have had our R-Class for about a year and a half and it is a beautiful car that seats 6 like no one else. However we have had to take it into the shop too many times, for things like: 1. Static in the audio system Across CD, Sat radio, regular radio, (MB has made software upgrades to the software numerous times, the issue may be addressed but the issue was very intermittent so we will see. 2. Frayed driver seatbelt. 3. Transmission strange noise 4. Electronic tailgate not operating properly. 5. Cloth being separated at the back opening of the tailgate. 6. Navigation system returning erroneous information frozen random display. 14 service tickets over about 16 months.
