Mercedes-Benz

A sleek and comforting ride with a multitude of features. The car itself is humongous and feels light to drive, and is highly recommended by me. this car is a must to try.

Overall good car

I got to use a used car from a car reseller in Delhi. It is a very fast and smooth to drive with no hiccups. Pick-up is fantastic and is quick even on comfort mode. The cockpit is unlike any car I have ever seen. The car has tons of options for customization, Rear seat has poor legroom and overall comfort, while the front seats are comfy. The only con I faced was that the car is hard on tires if you like to drive fast sometimes.

The Beast X7

The staff at BMW was really very welcoming drive quality is fantastic the engine makes you feel the punch looks are fantastic as its rood presence is mind-blowing i have not serviced it yet PROS:- it has a lot of space in it, speakers are good, etc CONS:- bench seat option should be available
