Most Helpful Review

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.

Best Decision by Me

I had to think a lot before buying this car as it is not so cheap but it was worth every single rupee after I bought this car every day I went for a round just to show off my car its super duper comfortable its speed its also very good but I think the mileage can do a little bit better but anyways it's very good for its price and I just can’t explain it anymore in words.
