Best car I have ever seen

This car was the best due his mileage, comfort, and other features of safety make this car perfect so I considered this car is best and also the best in look, and the best because it was a hybrid.

Best Mercedes Sedan

I have been buying Mercedes cars for the past 25 years. This is without doubt the best sedan Mercedes has made and the leg space is just outstanding; it gives you the same comfort as an S class but in a more compact form.
