Hi Ed,

I'm afraid the car is too new for us to have a good handle on its reliability. On the face of it, it seems like a lovely car. 

The trim level is down to personal preference and budget, though I suspect most used models on the market will be the AMG-Line spec. The only thing to look out for with the latter is whether it has sports suspension fitted or very large alloy wheels. Both those things take from the comfort of the car considerably. Fine on a good surface, but we'd sacrifice the image in the name of comfort on a car like this.
