Finding a Family Car
The Mercedes-Benz R-Class provides one of the most luxurious ways today to transport six people. This large car is built for cruising as opposed to cornering, and a choice of engines is available to support, each one producing relatively low amounts of noise, and with four-wheel drive on the top model, there’s no chance of spinning the wheels. The R-Class is expensive to run however, so it may to wise to choose a diesel engine which will be more economical.
The cabin is extremely quiet and comfortable; the R-Class is a fantastic family car with an emphasis on quality. When all six seats are in place, however, the space in the boot is limited, which may prove difficult for family days out, when a lot of equipment is needed.
The high set driving seat gives the driver a really great driving position with command over the road, although there is limited rear visibility owing to the thick rear pillars and head restraints. Mercedes’ high quality ensures a reliable quality car, and the level of safety equipment is a reassurance, with front, side and curtain airbags as well as stability control. Alloy wheels, cruise control and automatic wipers and headlights all come as standard with the new R-Class.
For those wanting a bargain, rather than buying a brand new model, it may be an idea to buy a used Mercedes-Benz R-Class. Chichester Mercedes dealers and dealers throughout the UK may have good deals available on used Mercedes R-Class cars. As resale values for new models are not particularly favourable, it may be a better deal for buyers to go for a used model rather than a brand new model that will depreciate quickly.
