I have heard that the nav system in the R is better than the older CD-based MB systems, if still not "best in class." As to quality, the R is still pretty new, but its sister, the M-Class, seems to be ok in the quality department. I think that MB has been working hard to ensure better quality.
My $.02 is just that, but I love my new R. I think it is very cool. I always ask my wife for feedback. She states that everyone who sees it or rides in it feels the same and they are very quick to express their opinion. She is in real estate, so the passenger comfort and ease of entry and exit are a big factor. The large rear seat area and huge glass roof make the job of house hunting much less tedious. The navi system makes it easy to program her listings and plan routes that are more efficient.
-Buffalo, NY to Erie, PA on I-90
-then south towards Pittsburgh on I-79
-then east on I-80 across the top of upper half of PA
-and finally south on I-81 to Harrisburg
The total trip was to be about 550 miles. My regular route cutting across east NY then south on I-390 and ultimately Rte 15 south to Harrisburg only took 350 miles.
What was really frustrating was that for a good thirty miles when I turned off I-90 to take my "shortcut" it continued to try and reroute me onto it's long way home. It has worked fine with all of our local trips so I would be interested to see if anybody has any ideas. My only theory is that on long trips it tries to route you exclusively on Interstates, but even then you would thing it would be capable of calculating the best compromise between shortest distance and shortest time.
I do wish it was a little user friendly with regard to the joy stick and came with a remote like our last Volvo.
