That car is the worst car ever build by Mercedes Benz,actually,when they launched the new generation 4MATICS,in 1998,with the W210 chassis(that is a reliable and well build awd),they shipped the first units without the 4 matic badges,because they could not decide to use the old name:4matic,people associated that name with a total junk...finally they did not changed the name,and the dealers had to order badges to put on the few units allready sold...bottom line: just stay away from that car.
