I would tend to agree that there will be alot more people telling you to run than there are people who love them. It was over-engineered and overly complex mechanically. They tend to go through transfer cases pretty quick. I don't even like LOOKING at the front springs. Something not quite right there. Don't like the way they drive, very heavy steering, not pleasant to drive, and that's just short roadtests, can't imagine driving one a few hundred miles. The current version (98 or so and newer cars), no problem. MB didn't even know if they wanted to use the 4Matic name when they came out with the new system. There was a bulletin that alot of the first of the new system cars didn't have the 4matic badge on the back and told us we could order and install the badge for the owners if they wanted it.
