It is our runaround car with a 60-80 mile range depending on the weather. Ninety-nine percent not of our use is less than 10 miles, doctor, restaurant, shopping, etc. Been perfect for the last seven years. Biggest complaint are the horrible maps that are no longer updated and no software...

It was a compliance car to meet fleet CAFE mileage requirements. Obviously only a town car.

Exactly why I buy lease returns with a service history and normally about 50¢ on the dollar. I have never purchased a new MB and have avoided several lemons.

I think you need to schedule a visit to the dealer. I am in the US so EPA range is 87 mi standard (140km) and 105 mi with range extension (168km). The battery is guaranteed for 8 years but is supposed to have a new desiccant filter installed every year. While there have them diagnose the whine...

In Oregon more people fail the driving test because they cannot parallel park than any other reason. Downtown Portland is all parallel parking. Parking is part of my package but I have never used it. All I need is about six inches front and rear clearance and I can put the car in the slot first...

Would like to know how this project went. Any hints, cautions, etc for the rest of us?

I do not seem to have any sound at low speed to warn pedestrians. I have driven between two very reflective cement walls with the windows down and hear nothing but the tires on the pavement. Does anyone know where it is, how to test it, how to replace it, part number, etc.?

Why are the receptacles not installed so the cable hangs down?
