I drove a Metris cargo in Miami yesterday, it's a great van. There are a few things I hope Mercedes will change before I retire my 2004 GMC Safari cargo...
1) The side mirrors are way too small...the salesman told me he thought they were inadequate and hoped they will be updated. The mirrors on my GMC are slightly taller and maybe a couple inches longer...I've never had a problem with them.
2) No option for three seats in the front or removeable row of seats in the back (on cargo version). I know the Ram Promaster offers three passenger seating in the front, why can't this be an option on Metris? I absolutely need three seats...
3) No Sirius/XM...you'd think if this vehicle is going to be used by people who spend a lot of time on the road they'd offer satellite radio.
The van is basically the same size as my Safari (about 13 inches longer) and feels like it's got similar acceleration (195 hp vs. 202 hp). Steering and braking are wonderful, slick dashboard and steering wheel. It's been a long time since I've driven a new car, the key was really interesting!
I took some photos of the vehicles side by side, will try to post.
