Summary
What does this car say about you?
No idea!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
People love the looks, the comfort, the uniqueness (the high list price means that there aren't very many about), the prestige-yet-sporty feel, the smooth drive and the refined power it delivers.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Probably; it's handsome, unique and brilliant to drive. Its also a great value used-buy (I paid 50% of list price for a car with just 15,000 miles) and good on fuel consumption.
What are you likely to buy next?
No idea; not planning to change the CLS for some time, but another CLS would certainly be a main contender.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing apart from the metal dust-caps sticking to the valve; needed to get these removed and replaced with rubber caps.
What's most practical about your car?
Loads of room for 4 people. Very good on fuel (averaging 44mpg); boot is surprisingly big.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Airmatic is great (so much more comfortable than the non-Airmatic versions. Dynamic seats are fantastic; everyone who sits in the car loves them!
