Any shooting break owners on the forum?

how would you rate car for interior space & general maneuverability around town ?
Is the rear camera a must ?

cheers

Interior space pretty good, manoeuvrability is OK but had an E-Class before the SB and that is not that much smaller. Parks itself into a fairly small space.

Personally I think that the rear camera is an absolute must.

Hi Diluxe,

The SB has a cavernous boot wrapped in a svelte rear quarter. But those thick C pillars and styled rear window means that vision out the back is extremely limited, so yes parking sensors and rear camera are a necessity.

Have also found the lane changing / side mirror assist very useful for the nearside.

I've had mine two years and clocked up 30k miles with no manoeuverability issues, been an absolute pleasure to drive.

Brake.

It's a fairly fundamental difference

The thing about MB is the tight turning circles...and if this is the same as an E class, then it has a tighter turning circle than many super minis and 4x4 suvs.

The boot is probably big when compared to a saloon CLS...but not compared to an E Class estate.

with seats down - 1,550 vs 1,855 - still a lot of boot

Indeed, I wasn't dissing the SB...but just giving answer to a question which may be posed regarding the differences.

In fact some of the E Classes have 1950!

The SB is very close to the C Class estates volume, 1550 v. 1510.
