Angry Mercedes fans: "You're wrong! This is a commercial shuttle van! You misunderstood it!" Well, sweetie, it's nice that Mercedes-Benz marketing has convinced you of this -- but it's the same size as a Sienna/Odyssey, with the same price as a Sienna/Odyssey, and the same scope as a Sienna/Odyssey. If I were buying a "commercial shuttle van," I'd literally fall over laughing at the Metris ... annnnnd then I'd buy a Sienna/Odyssey. Which is what everyone does anyway.

I don't even know why Toyota or Honda didn't try to sell those big Vans here (there's a huge difference in Germany when you say Mini-Van or Van btw the Mercedes is like the Volkswagen Mulivan and the Ford Transit a so called mini-bus here ^^). I think they were to lazy to sell them with standard transmissions and diesels or 4 Cylinder gasoline engines :D

And Doug is so stupid not even understanding that those are totally different kind of cars. Honda is made based a passanger car and MB Metris is based a van. He forget compare size (MB about 8 inch higher) comfort of seats etc so looking only negative sides which are partly funny which he is thinking important. Yes, Odyssey seats can be adjust better but I just ask, do you think 3 person can really travel comfortably at Odussey middle seats for example 200 miles... No way, in MB yes. Compare the third row seats. Odyssey seats are not for adults, only for kids. In MB 8 adult can travel comfortably and there is even space for the luggages. Doug didn't notice that there is rails and seats can be move using those By the way, he complained about the filling cap place but tell me when you park your car so near the filling station pump that you can not open the door :-D That solution the cap is closed and locked always when driver door is closed That one, Metris, is made in USA. Perhaps the reason for bad quality ;-) I have 2 friends here in Europe having MB V-class which seems to be totally different car although basis is the same. Is touch screen, pad for hand writing reconission. power sliding doors, power tail gate, LED lights, cruise control keeping the distance and all radars, better rear camera, 360 degree cameras, good fuel economy, acceleration is good etc... And Telephone is written correctly, perhaps there are some Mexican working at MB USA factory ;-) and no rattling of seats or any extra noise (US manufacturing quality comparing to European... ;-) )

Most of what you speak about is true. I purchased a used 2019 Metris and dumped it 2 years later because of many of the things you point out. Those and other problems you didn't mention. The first is related to cruise control. I spent $1,050.00 at my Benz dealership to install what I later learned was an aftermarket system. I worked well when activated, but because it was located directly under the turn signal, I learned quickly it could be a death trap. It wasn't unusual to hit the lever when I wanted to hit the turn signal. My second big complaint is the van is promoted as being able to tow up to 5,000 lbs. That might be the case, but the back end is so low to the ground that after installing the lone tow bar available for the vehicle there's only 7-3/4" inches separating the bottom of the bar from the ground. Once installed it's not uncommon for the bar to scrape the ground when coming off a slope or speed bump. I'm sure one can guess what happens when tongue weight is added to the hitch. My third big complaint is the cost of fuel to operate the vehicle. It requires very expensive 91 or 93 octaine gas. And the best part is the maintenance expenses. Just guess how thrilled I was when I learned the van needed what amounted to a 9 quart oil change that cost over $300.00? In summary, about the only thing I miss about the Metris is it was probably the last REAL mid-sized van I'll ever see. The other van's you mention - the Honda Odyssey in particular - aren't true (box) vans. Because of their height they're more like comfortable and stylish station wagons, but I won't argue they're a better value than the Metris. Damn GM made a big mistake when they discontinued the Astrovan. That will always be my favorite.

Because it will not break down, it's cheeper here in Germany and you got service everywhere (unlike the other options).

At my former workplace in France they used this when they had had to shuttle people or carry oversized stuff. I had the chance to borrow the thing once to haul my furniture from IKEA. Two observations: you did have to take all seats off which was quite a chore, but once you did that you had a HUGE cargo area. Horrible as this thing was... something did impress me: when I got up to highway speed I could not believe the speedo because it felt like I was doing 60 km/h when in fact I was at 120km/h. The ride was so silent and smooth it felt like I was driving very slow and that was with a full load! And it still had lots of juice to cause trouble with the "highway patrol." I really had to keep watching my speed to avoid creeping up without realizing it.

Holy shit! My wife and I bought a used 2018 Honda Odyssey Touring edition with 40,000 kms on it for $41,000 Canadian monopoly money and I'm at 8:12 in this video seriously scratching my head. What in the F... was Mercedes thinking? Obviously they weren't at all. Honda Odyssey Touring (even the base model has alot of these features): flip down 3rd seat row, sliding middle row with removable middle seat which we did. Power both sliding doors, tailgate with adjustment for opening height. Cup holders, 12v and even 110v plugs all over. Roll down windows and sunshades for 2nd row, shunshades for 3rd. Back attachments for child seats IN ALL 4 seats behind drivers and passengers. Ohhh, but it gets worse for Mercedes moving to a loaded Odyssey. Cabin watch, Cabin talk, sweep foot tail gate opening/closing, entertainment system, HDMI port for game console, wireless headphones, 2 drivers seat seatings fully controlled by key phobe including adjusting the drivers mirrors. Heated and cooled leather seats, dual climate control (actual 3 climate controls), lane assist, parking assist, adaptive cruise control, heated steering wheel, snow and eco modes, adaptive braking. Ohh no, not done yet... Vacuum in the back, tire sensor monitors, folding side mirrors, heated mirrors, heated side passenger rear window, rain sensors for wipers, automatic locks when exiting vehicle, sunroof/moon roof, power seats and arm rests in the front, purse holder, bluray disc holder, usb ports galore, snow function for traction and ABS. Honda link, wireless cell phone charging... did mention all powered sliding doors and rear tailgate? How about the cargo room in the back after 3rd row? LED lights, touchscreen controls, 2 separate zones for sound so you don't have to listen to kids movies. Power control mirrors. There are mini vans, and then there's the Honda Odyssey. Ohh yeah, the Honda Odyssey has shift paddles if you are so inclined to put it in sport mode... but folks, it's a vehicle for trasporting a family around in comfort with family features that matter. However, if you get that urge going to the grocery store, they too are there along with a 10 speed transmission.

I can explain you why this Mercedes is so bad. In Russia or Europe this van is named Vito. This is simple van like Ford Ecoline. For workers and working stuff. You can take off seats and for example carry something. You can buy it with rubber floor, so you can clean it with water. I dont know why MB give this utility van a personal name and called it minivan. The only way they did it, i think it,s a price under 50 grand. The have Mercedes V-class, which is luxury model on same platform, with V6, 4matic, another iterior with Command Online, LED headlights and all cool stuff that Mercedes cars can have. But V-class is very expensive, USA minivan market cant handle minivan with 80k$ price. Only true minivan that Mercedes was produced was R class and it was very cool vehicle!

Europe merket didnt have cars like Sienna, Odyssey, Town&Country, Venza. There are not many of this in Russia, only grey dealers bring it here. I ride some kilometers in Sienna, and yes, this is a great car. But Mercedes R class was better.

Fun fact: In Germany, this car is called "V-Class" (if it's the passenger version) or "Vito" (cargo version) - I've never heard the name "Metris" before. Also, this thing is actually becoming quite popular here in Germany - it's still no match for the market dominating Volkswagen T6, but you do see it on the road quite often. I actually think the high-end V-Class looks pretty good, not quite as boring as the comparable Volkswagen Bus, Peugeot Traveller/Opel Vivaro/Citroën SpaceTourer, Hyundai H1, Ford Transit and what not - a lot of cars you don't get in the States, I suppose. In return, we don't get the Siennas, Odysseys, Quests, Sedonas, Town and Countries, Pacificas and what ever else you might be driving over there.

The V-Class has a higher comfort and quality level than the Metris. The Metris is a Vito. I'm running a chauffeurservice here in Germany, and we would never use a Vito (Metris). We call it "Truppentransporter" (Troup Transporter). These are more designed for carrying construction workers. The bigger alternative to a S-Class is the V-Class, looks much more fancy and has high qualtiy nappa leather single seats and woodin the cockpit. It pretty well requested, even by private jet owners...

The Stig's German Cousin The metris is a rebranded Vito. You can get the "passenger" version of the Vito here in Germany too, but most people rather choose the upper class "V-Klasse" model which from what I've heard has to be really good. However the V-Klasse doesn't seem to be sold in North America so they're missing out once again I guess...

In Germany this car is sold as Vito Tourer, there is another more luxurious V-class. In addition, it is only available here as a diesel. My father has a Vito Tourer with the 237 hp top engine with almost all the extras for almost 2 years now. The one you tested does not have the comfort row of seats in the back, which can be folded and reduced to 2 seats. It's a great car and available in many versions - at least in Germany.

I appreciate all your videos and I know this is an older video, but I just bought a metris anyway. My use case is likely different from most. I'm in my early 50's and am now single with grown kids. I have German Shepherds and mountain bikes that cost as much as a 2022 Nissan Versa. So, I was going to buy a small cargo van, but in my extremely hot northern, California home area, the last thing I wanted was a cargo vehicle with HVAC ONLY in the front area. So basically, I think of this vehicle as what it is to me....a cargo van with a bit of insulation and HVAC to the back to heat and cool it better. Beyond that, it is EXACTLY what you say it is. Compared to my girlfriends 2022 Honda Odessy, the Metris is sorely lacking...except that my very expensive bikes and. my dogs get to be inside a very large open cargo bay in relative comfort. :)
