I do. Looking to buy an old one or a new one? They don't make 'em like they used to.

I have a colleague that drives one of the C series MB's. I think his is the Sport edition or some such thing. He loves it. I've ridden in it a couple of times and it's nice. He's had it a couple of years and has had no complaints.

I know a couple of people that have (or have had) an E-Class, and they both liked them. The only negative was the cost of maintenance, but if you're spending the money on a Benz, the additional cost of maintenance shouldn't be an issue.
With this being said, if you're buying used, steer clear of the C and M-Classes. Both have reliability below that of the other classes. |

Yes, they are expensive to repair, and don't lose a key. How do I know? Because Smart is distributed through MB (Penske), so that's where I bought my little car and get it serviced. It's the equivalent of buying a pair of Old Navy jeans, and having to go to a pricey tailor every time you want them cleaned.

Just last night, I said to some friends, "Hey, you know the 'homiez' sound system you see in cars? Like the ones in L.A., with a giant wall of speakers in the trunk and backseat? If I put those in the back of the Smart, I bet I could actually propel the car with sound waves. Every bass thump would shove the car down the road."

Yes, when I'm out on the road in my Ford truck, I see lots of people driving them.
