2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class Review:
The engine knocks like a diesel despite three trips to the dealer. Inside body moldings creak and squeek going over small curbs & bumps. SRS system failed back up sensors failed. Dealer respose to problems has been worse than average. Save your $$ and look @ Lexus or BMW

Large Panoramic Sunroof. Space. Power. Sound system (Harmon Kardon) is great. Great cupholders
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class?
More standard features in the R500
2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class Review:
So far so great. What a Vehicle. The space is positively shocking. 6 full size adults could fit in this car effortlessly. It drives like a sedan not a truck or minivan. The R500 has power to spare. Chock full of amenities. We are very pleased so far. And our dealership was great. We said so long to our over-sized SUV and have not missed it yet. This car will probably change the SUV or crossover market.

2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class Review:
Too bad some missing basics are extra cost options. The MB DVD navation system rates a 1 compare to Lexus which I rate as an 8. I got a great discount for a brand new model. My guess is that with gas prices being as high as they are, this model will be a slow mover. Ride is much firmer than I expected. Again I compare to the Lexus GX470. My wife hates the way it looks from the outside. She loves the interior. These are all first impressions. I'm sure we'll both grow to love this car. BTW, the state of MD registers this "car" as a "truck".

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class?
Price $, gas guzzling engine, and especially the awful reliability
2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class Review:
I believe that this vehicle is a serious machine. Since I previously owned an SL 55 AMG, I was lloking for a change. I sold my SL for a good price, since it did cost me an arm in a leg, and I downgraded to this car. I cannot even tell the difference. The SL was not worth $150,000 but the R 500 was worth every penny. Who knows, the AMG may also be that much better also .

Multiple adult comfortable seating positions
2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class Review:
The day after taking delivery we had 6 inches of wet snow, what snow. The 4 wheel drive was flawless as were the ABS brakes. I also have an S class and the ride of the "R" is at least comparable. What more could you want in a large sedan, SUV, station wagon all wrapped into one vehicle? It may not be the sexiest car on the road, but it is certainly the most functional.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class?
Expansive seating, eye catching looks, comfy ride - - overall pleasure to drive and be driven in
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class?
Too many options to add up - - the base car and the car I bought because of options are as different as night and day - - so more standard features please
2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class Review:
Traded in an FX45 and initially missed the vroom but in R class there is lots of room so who needs the v (as in velocity). With that said this car holds up well on the highway, and I was doing the passing and not being passed. The interior is luxurious compared to others in this class and as a six footer I can even sit comfortably in the back seat. So far so good - also the wife loves the way it looks and everytime I park it I get another comment on my ride - -

Easy access to the 3rd row with comfortable seating~AND the back windows open at the sides so there isn't a closed in feeling. Panoramic Sunroof. Luxury, sporty ride! Very roomy.
2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class Review:
I love this vehicle! I am a Mom with two children under the ages of three and wanted a luxury, sporty vehicle that was very safe and drives likes "a dream"! I found it in this R class. It is so kid friendly yet I don't feel like it even compares to a wagon/mini- van. After owning a BMW 5 series, Mercedes CLK and a Lexus RX...I am ecstatic to own this vehicle! Also, a big thank you to the team at Loeber Motors in Lincolnwood, IL for their terrific customer service!

2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class Review:
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.

A simpler explanation to operate al the features
2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class Review:
I found the auto to be overall very nice, but I think more detail to operating directions would have been better, such as a video tape or a small book like past models had. The explanation of operation needs upgrade.
