I spent 2 weeks with this old Merc. Wasn't expecting to love it at all.
In fact, my friend asked if I could review it, and I wasn't very enthusiastic
about it at first. But the more I drove it, the more I feel like I have to say.
Eventually, I sort of fell in love with the car, and I decided to do a scripted review of it. My first attempt at one.
Took way more time than I liked. Hope you guys enjoy it.
