In response to the CICBarkeep comment. The Graphiite Edition have their own edge. Nice option. I wasn’t set on a Desigon Edition but this is what popped up. Once I saw it I had to go for it. Took over a month of back and forth before we were able to agree on a price. No regrets on the purchase.
Definitely a blast to drive when I feel the urge for a little speed. I occasionally get compliments/questions on it when running about, especially from other Mercedes owners. I worked hard at keeping it free of parking lot dings. It may have one tiny ding, so tiny that I don’t remember where it is. Noticed it when detailing the car.
Sorry, didn’t answer all your questions. Under my ownership the following suspension repairs were carried out. Fluid line replaced by the prior owner just as I was to purchase the vehicle. ABC/Power Steering pump replaced during my first few years of ownership. Other than that the ABC suspension has been trouble free. Had lower front control arms (4) along with 2 ball joints replaced in February 2022. No tuning done. I keep my vehicles stock and use only Mercedes parts unless no longer available.
As I recall Combo City/Highway comes in around 15 mpg. Strictly highway cruising comes in at 21/22. I took it on a cross country trip (CA to MA) 2 years ago and that’s what I calculated between fill ups. That includes brief spurts of the Supercharger kicking in for high speed passing and on ramp acceleration.
Yes, I haven’t come across many with this definitely color combo and options. Will miss it and tough decision to sell. I enjoyed it over the years.
