reverse doesn't reverse
I test drove a car (2004 S400 CDI) the other day and when I put it in reverse, it did not move. I had several Mercedes before this one (190E, 260SE, S280) and ALL of them move (very slowly, sure) when you put them in "R". The one I test drove yesterday just stood still.
The dealer says this is normal and all of them have it (w220). Not true cos I drove other similar cars (4 ltr diesel, w220, the 2003 facelifted model) that day and they did move when in "R".
Is this something I should worry about? Tks in advance!

You ask is this something you should be worried about, Whenever you test something and it do not do what its suppose to do..back away real slow..or fast in this case..
