I picked the car up two weeks ago but medical issues have kept me from using it much (slower than expected recovery time from a minor procedure). I finally got it out in the wild for a good drive today and took these pics. Enjoy!

Looks nice, picture 14 still has your plate visible, FYI. Red wagons are becoming common on this board it seems.
Thanks, fixed. Ya, I think it's because the color offerings don't match up to the quality of the car, at least in the first model year. I would have gone for another interesting color if there was one. But I'm happy with the red, and it's a rare enough model that I won't see another red one around too often, at least for now...
Looks good!!!, the wheels make the car look a little different than mine, not sure which wheels I like better. I mainly went with the forged ones for the added strength, I had some bad experiences with the rims bending on my 2012 AMG Wagon.

Both wheels look awesome, my personal preference has always been towards wheels with fewer spokes, but I don't really have a reason to back that up. Both looks are great on this car and other modern MB models.
Here’s one of my wheels just so anyone here who is thinking of ordering this car can see a direct comparison in this thread. Just cleaned up the brake dust today on the wheels. Very easy wheel to maintain.
Great looking wagon.... I was wondering what you think about those seats. I have a 2016 E63S with the massaging seats. I wish they had a little more bottom cushion. What do you think of the 213 seats? Comfortable?
Thanks...

In my limited experience so far, the seats have been great. This is my first car with the dynamic side bolsters, which sounds like a gimmicky feature, but after taking a few turns at speed you really see the value of it. I haven't driven more than about an hour at a time yet, so can't comment on the lower cushion for longer hauls. One thing that surprised me is that you can't get to all the seat settings from the door panel. Some of them are buried in the settings menu on the screen.

i wish the regular seats still had the storage compartments under them like the 212s had. I do not find these seats as comfortable as my 2012 212.
Is it Cardinal Red or Hyacint Red?
It is beautiful!!!
Enjoy it in great health!
Thanks! designo Cardinal red is the color. It's the only red currently offered on this model in the US. It's darker, deeper, and less orange than the red you commonly see on entry level models (C and GLA), which I think is called jupiter red.
