Am I really alone with this problem? My 6 month old estate travels for about 20 feet at walking pace for about 2 seconds from a standing start before the power kicks in, even when flooring the accelerator pedal. This is a dangerously excessive delay in my opinion and has caused me several problems with other drivers. MB have checked the vehicle and declare it normal and the car has "no faults". I beg to differ. It is only a matter of time before this causes a rear end shunt and I have to anticipate every exit from a side road or entry to a roundabout. It also makes a nonsense of published acceleration figures eg 0 to 60 etc. How many other drivers recognise this as a problem?
In all other respects this car is (almost) perfect and great fun to drive.
