The "B" service at MB replaces windshield wipers. The new wipers have the MB logo printed on them!
I am planning on selling this car next spring. I enjoy the 6-7 seats, but then there is absolutely no storage in the rear. The cover for the storage area weighs about 25lbs and has to be moved from behind the middle row to behind the back row, but the engineers didn't bother themselves with the hole covers.
The center row passengers cannot see out of the front of the car. The center row seats are the same height as the front row.
The nice looking running board on the side of the car does nothing but collect mud and snow. If the running board is installed, one cannot also install front mud flaps. The front tire is so wide that the tire is past the fender from 9:00 o'clock to 7:00 o'clock with the wheels pointed straight.
BUT, the car drives like a sedan. Better cornering than my 1998 V70R. With exceptional handling. What snow? I floored the throttle in 6 inches of new snow, hands off the wheel, and it stayed straight up to 30mph and then I slammed on the brakes - still a straight line without touching the steering wheel.
Ice is a different story. Did I mention that this thing weighs more than 6,000 lbs? It will not stop on ice, why should it? The ABS works great, but inertia cannot be overruled.

Keeping it running is better than buying new
