  The car not enough people know about. - 2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
  By BKNYC - October 19 - 11:53 pm

  The interior and exterior work well. Seats in the back are awesome for my 2 young children. The ride is as good as any other Mercedes on the market. Could be one of the best all around family automobiles on the road today.

  R 500 early review - 2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
  By mmcfadden - September 21 - 1:00 pm

  Ive had this car for 1 month and have driven 2,000 miles. I love everything about this car. It handles like an E- Class. There is the typical MB/BMV sedan driving feel. I opted for the airdynamic suspesion that is wonderful. On/off exit ramps feel terrific with the sports mode, highway- comfort mode and around town-normal mode. A better rear seating arrangement than an S/ML-class. The command center is reasonable intuitive but you have to spend a little time getting to know it. I integrated the phone system, NAV and ipod system. EZ to use. My only complaint is lack of adequate luggage space for long distances when using all seats. Will need cargo rails with large cargo carrier. Buy!

  Family Cruiser - 2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
  By jabbahop - February 8 - 7:00 pm

  For us this car fits well between the 3 row SUVs and the mini vans. We needed separation for my three boys, 4 wheel drive to get up our driveway in winter, and something that was fun to drive and comfortable for me. I only have 1100 miles so far but I like it better than either my ML320 (with third row) or our Volvo Cross country. Much more comfortable, quieter, and a smoother drive.

  WOW! What a ride! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
  By Andy&Thao - December 24 - 8:36 pm

  What an awesome machine...went to the dealer and picked one out of the showroom fully loaded. Love everything about it, just wish the fuel economy is a little bit better. Approaching 2000 miles and loving everytime making a trip.

  Mercedes "gets it"! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
  By GLK - October 7 - 1:00 pm

  Having gone slowly but surely from a loved but boring GMC Suburban, to a loved but unreliable GMC Envoy, to a "too small" and uncomfortable Lexus RX330, the Mercedes R-Class hits our family needs just right. The occaisional need to 6 passenger seating is achieved naturally, without indecent human acts. And is this car a luxury winner. It is simply fabulous...everything the RX330 wasnt: roomy, good in snow, a head turner, and fabulous comfort and luxury.

  Great way for 6 to travel in style! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
  By Naushad - June 18 - 5:50 am

  If youre looking for a luxurious way to get around with family and friends, the Mercedes-Benz R500 is a great solution. Ive really enjoyed the quality feel and luxury appointments. I also own an S500 and much to my own surprise, Ive come to prefer driving the R500. We have lots of guests and family so the R500 is great for us. The car drives very well and gives you the feeling of a powerful SUV. The luxurious interior gives you the feeling of the S500. This car is the best of all worlds.

  Non riot hearse - 2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
  By Susie Meader - March 28 - 2:30 pm

  This vehicle is excellent. A great family vehicle without owning another SUV. Has enough room for a family of 6. Quite comfortable for adults as well. I kind of wish I would have gotten the R500 just because of the zip, but once you get going, it is great. I have nothing bad to say about this vehicle.

  Great car- just looks a little different - 2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
  By Mozart - February 27 - 3:13 am

  My husband first saw the car on-line and immediately loved the styling. I wasnt as sold on it as he was but he talked me into taking it for a test drive. Im glad he did! We love the car and all the room. The kids love it too.

  R350 - 2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
  By B Factor - August 28 - 1:36 am

  I have owned other Mercedes my last was a ML500.When the lease was over I though of another but then decided on the New R. Looked at the 500 R but when I drove the 350 I found it was just fine the power no need for the bigger engine. I have found it to be a excellent car and the new 350 engine execellent in power and gas milage. It offers all of the SUV I had plus handles like a car. I am glad I made this choice and the lease offer thru my dealer was fine.
