Agreed. I'm looking at one as a down-sized replacement for the better half's ML benz diesel bluetech, more vehicle than she needs and killer maintenance/repair costs [since she insists on going to a dealer and it has a rash of issues]. We drove an F48 Saturday, dealer has some reasonable sales/lease options. Other than the RFTs [run flat tires ..., no spare std], I liked it. Nice ergonomics for a compact crossover, much nicer and roomier than the benz GLA, and closer to a bmw drive. Car & Driver reviews rate it ahead of the class [except maybe for the more expensive Porsche Macan]
