Honestly, it's an awesome car and my gf is happy as can be.
Obviously, it's on the lower end of Mercedes' car line-up in terms of price. However, it doesn't feel that way.
No rattles, vibrations, or funny noises. Performance seemed a bit better than the X3 28i, but obviously it's not going to win any awards.
Little details like the paddle shifters are a nice touch. Obviously, they're useless on a N/A V6 suv, but they don't come off as an afterthought.
Keyless start works perfect. Lane Change Assist is on par for what I'd expect. Navigation interface is leaps and bounds better than my mother's 2011 E350 (although the Q5 interface was the best).
To me, it's a car that stands out just enough. There's plenty on the road, don't get me wrong, but it's not going to get confused with a Kia.
Overall, I wouldn't have bought a different car (<$50k) if it were me spending the money.
