if I had the luxury of waiting, I would – but I don’t have a MB vehicle and I sold our car a couple months back to release the equity (quite a chunk) from the finance contract. And when the Tekna does arrive, I very much doubt it will be available with the e4orce – which is what I personally would want. If it’s going to be the epower, might as well get the QQ for probably (~£2k+/-) AP. Only thing I think would be an advantage would be option of 3rd row, and openable sunroof.
Important things for our family of 5 are; rear privacy glass; decent seat height (from road-/kerbside); space for 3 in rear; sunroof and or light interior. These things cater to the mental and physical health and ASD of the tribe. If I can get these with 4WD auto and some useable, fun power and torque – which is MY preference – then all the better. But if not, I’ll take what I can get that fits the needs, and accept that wants are first world problems.
