It was cars like this that made Benz's reputation in this country. Simple, reliable, safe and comfortable motoring that provided many years of faithful service. They may not be exciting but they were reliable and there is a lot to be said for that. Frankly, m'dear, I don't give a damn about how many USB ports there are in the entertainment centre if the beast breaks down 2 hours the other side of Parkes.....
You already know I come from the school that detests USB ports in a car, run-flat tyres and radiator hoses of such complication that you can't get a temporary replacement except by first-class airlift...
