Sam did you try to fit your family and gear and test out its usability in real world conditions? Would definitely be a great segment if you were to decide to do something like that.
Many new Mercedes Benz, including this one features run-flat tires, rendering the need for a Mercedes-Benz spare tire obsolete. This is because run-flat tires have reinforced sidewalls that conceal a pocket of air.
That last advice about "leasing the Mercedes Benz" is a flawed one, especially since at the end of the lease, someone else will have to own it. The more sensible advice is to avoid as much of the electronic doo-dads as possible, when buying a Mercedes, and the car will reward you with 100s of 1000s of miles of absolutely pleasurable ownership. My ML320, when I donated it at 245K miles, was absolutely perfect, reliability wise. The basic (non-airmatic) Double-wishbone front and Multi-link rear suspension, with the coil-springs, is fabulous and will go for a million miles with no problems whatsoever. The fundamental drive-train, will last for ever too. Skip the airmatic. Skip the E-ABC (Electronic-Active Body Control) suspension. Skip the "soft closing doors". Skip some of the other complex electro-mechanical bits, and you have a fundamentally sound car that will go on for a million miles, with regular maintenance and upkeep.
