Interior Quality
What do you think of the interior specially the material that covers the dash and the doors? It looks like a rough plastic and easily gets scuffed and everything that touches it leaves a white mark. Can anything be done to protect it so stuff won't leave a mark? Thanks.

Yes mine is an oil burner. 4.5 quarts in 2100 miles. Plus the dealer has not been to on top of it either. See some of my other posts. Also had the tranny rebuilt at 800 miles. Has not beena good experience so far. I can not even get MB to call me to discuss the issue, that what really gets to me. I just want to know exactly what the solution and plan is. I was suppose to be doing a comsumption test now they want to do that all over again because they did not do that right. I tried to explain that to my dealers service manager but he has all the answers. The wrong ones so far.
