Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

My only other comments are: Positive - 1. Great auto box 2. Pulls like a train and at 6.5 0-60 or thereabouts it's quick off the mark too. Negative - 1. the cabin is a little somber, all in black. Go for another colour trim if you can find one. 2. WHY do MB continue with the stone age, foot-operated foot brake? (I almost never use it). 3. The 'Comand' infotainment/sat nav system is a bit, well, German and there's no USB or Apple device socket. However, my iphone sync's via Bluetooth fine and I just stuck a cig lighter to USB plug in the hole and used that to charge my phone or the kid's tablets instead.

How reliable do you find the car?

bent front alloy but that wasn't MB's fault as car bought 2nd hand

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Wouldn't go for Sport option again. The 19" inch AMG wheels look and corner great but the ride is VERY firm and road/tyre noise is intrusive for such an expensive/premium car. I suspect the 18" wheels would be a significant improvement. That aside it's a fantastic car, the best I've had. It looks beautiful but in an understated way. Many appreciative comments. It also goes like sh*t off a shovel but at a reasonable MPG.
