In 2000 , I bought the Wunderwagen (technically a Mercedes Benz E320 Wagon mit 4Matic all wheel drive) ..But Wunderwagen is a better name. This car drives and is built for driving. the most amazing thing about it is the 4Matic system which handles just about anything you throw at it..snow, rain, slick roads, and even lets you take 20mph corners at 50 ! In 2003 , we were in the big NE blizzard , and we ran in front of the ploughs, with the 4Matic system and other goodies like ESP- Electronic Stability program, ASR - Anti slip, and BAS - Brake assist.. keeping us safe...nuff said
