What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class appreciate its spacious interior, comfort, and reliable performance. Many love the car's luxury features and safety, making it a great choice for families. However, some drivers noted that it can feel heavy and slightly sluggish, and there are concerns about outdated technology in some models."
The styling is great. The interior is as quiet as when I bought it. The 3rd row seats are designed for adults to use, not just kids under 5 years old. Its a very reliable car with just regular scheduled maintenance.
September 12, 2013love the handling and look and feel of this car. great for cruising around town, hauling kids and lacrosse gear and heading up to the mountains for snow skiing and snow boarding. very safe, great gas mileage and awesome sound system.
June 10, 2013I love this car! From the comfort of the seats to its ability to take on the snow and the open roads. It has dvd players for the kids and beautiful sounding speakers to rock out to. While on road trips, the car loves the highway. I had to check my speed often as this girl likes to go. The cruise control is a must for road trips. I was doing 100 mph and it didnt feel as such! The car handles nicely. I feel safe and secure driving the kids around. I would like to add a back up camera as its a little long but not too bad. Love that it automatically adjusts for steep incline/declines on its on. Amazing vehicle with the horse power to match. This is not a mini van at all!! Love my sports wagon.

January 7, 2012Originally leased the R for 27 months - but loved it so much bought it at lease end and have owned it for over 7 years. Inside it is like any other high end Mercedes, but has extra space for passengers and cargo. Great all wheel drive, smooth ride.
February 24, 2014Liked seating, trim, options, speed, ride, quality of build and looks. Economy could be better but pretty good on a long run. Loves long distances and eats up the miles on my Seattle to Spokane runs. Tires are quiet, great grip and low noise, but I only use Michelin, which are almost $350 each, but still expensive.
November 28, 2012This car is exactly what we were looking for a family of 5. The design and style is classic Mercedes. Each seat is comforable, handles like a dream, and the family travels comfortable, safe, and stylish. I would highly recommend this vehicle to family and friends.
August 5, 2011Love just about everything with this car. Has great storage capacity. Lots of flexible seating arrangements to comfortably fit 6 adults or 4 kids in car seats with easy access to the seats/buckles, lots of cargo room when back row (or only 1 seat) isn't needed, best looking station wagon in existence! All the Mercedes luxuries are always a plus, as well as knowing this car will run forever if well maintained. Handles really well in snow with 4-matic four wheel drive and can even raise the car 6" if in some really deep snow. Tons of power - have option to drive "sport" or "comfort" - luxury at its best. First look at the huge dual moon roofs and I was in love - even before I saw how all the seats could move around. Safety was also very important to us when we bought this car knowing we'd be driving precious cargo around (pregnant with first child when bought this) and Mercedes never disappoints!
May 2, 2014Look people, You cant go wrong buying a Mercedes, any year model! they are the ultimyat in driving experience, nothing compares to the strength and durability and reliability and you dont have to use a mb dealer or mechanic for everything, yes the parts can be pricey but if you take care of them they are well worth their money and will last well into the 500000 miles and beyond ! Ive owned several old used ones. and paid almost nothing for them from people who have no clue about how dependable they are. less than a 1000 for one and 4000 for another. thats unreal when you look at how much the car was to begin with!
August 21, 2021Love the room for six "adults" w/ luggage Plus performance, nice sound system and sun roof.comfortable smooth ride, with all the back seats down amazing amount of room for cargo, love the 4matic in the snow, my kids love it and they can get in without our help unlike most Estate Wagons like the Audi and BMW, Volvo Etc.
June 23, 2009I was uneasy at first due to the overall weight of the car. However, the car got a legitimate 20.1 MPG with the 5.0 V8. It rode quiet and comfortable at a cruise engaged speed at 75 MPH. I have no regrets in buy a nice , safe car to carry my Grandkids in.
