Checking one of these out...Wanting something that doesn't eat up as much space as an SUV or Minivan, but still has a 3rd row. Does anyone have any experience with these? In particular, how reliable is the newer 3 liter diesel. The one I'm looking at is an '08 4-matic, btw. Thanks for any input.



ETA: Clarification...this is to replace my wife's 10 year old Odyssey with 200K on it. Oldest kid is 16...so the need for the 3rd row will be pretty non-existent over the next few years...I really like diesels, and found one of these with pretty low miles on it.

It's incredibly ugly, but it's not my car so I don't really care what you do. go for it max.

can definitely fit all of your wife's groceries in there while you're out running her errands.

Not unless you want a 3rd row that can only fit your dog.

An 08 Mercedes? What could possibly go wrong? And that thing is ugly even for mini vans.

I agree with ugly, but I've owned one. One of the best driving vehicles I have ever owned. I had the six-cylinder gas, but the diesel is a solid engine. Stay away from the R500/550.

The Buick Enclave and Ford Explorer are both actually less length than that, and will be way more reliable.

If you want an ugly car, get something cheaper.

ETA: There are plenty of midsize SUVs out there. I would keep looking IIWY.
