nah you just climb through

but even if you couldn't, that's still a safer option as you're able to see your surroundings

climb through? are you 4' tall?

I don't live in the ghetto. Needing to check my surroundings at all times is not an issue for me.

No, we bought a bigger SUV to replace the SUV we already had, and realized that you could change a diaper in the back of a Tahoe and not in the back of a Discovery. After the tahoe, we potty trained the kid and went back to a Discovery, this one lifted, bumper, tires, etc.

THEN I got the wife pregnant again, and the 10mpg was killing me. So we chose a car based on MPG. Yes you can change a diaper in the back if you had too, but not when you have two car seats. But it does have a 3rd row. Lots of room for groceries. Fold down seats and a full sheet of plywood will fit in back. Plus its a car with a fuckin star... and it was cheap!

Are the electrics etc. pretty reliable on those? Buddy of mine has an '02 CLK320 and once he hit about 150K all sorts of things started to go wrong. Climate control module, radio/nav system, other a/c components, some electrical gremlins in the engine, sunroof quit working...

i test drove one of those. its not bad, higher quality plastics for the interior would go a long way in that car though.

12/11/2013 2:30:42 PM

^My Forte Koup has the same problem. The materials quality in general brings down the cabin. (Though the dated design and monochrome black don't help either, the Optima is a lot better in that regard.)

If you can get past that it's a nice interior though. The panoramic sunroof, in particular, is badass.

Your buddy has a W208, all that shit is par for the course. All mercedes will have some inherent issues, but some are much better than others. A CLK is NOT one of those that is in the better side of the spectrum.

Thoughts on Mazda CX-5? Just reading reviews and looking online, seems like a pretty good option. Grand Touring is well equiped, and even with AWD is rated at 25/30mpg
