Changed from a new porsche that had a lot of computer trouble.

What was the dealer like?

Quite helpful and determined to make a sale.

What's it like to drive?

It s a very comfortable place to be. Having previously had a Porsche, the Porsche feels more like a teenager, and makes you want to drive it fast. the Mercedes feels more grown up, it makes you enjoy the ride, rather then trying to prove that you are a racing driver. Having said that the mercedes could do with more power though, for those few times when you want to act like a teenager.

What's it like to park?

It s quite easy and you have a lot of help from the options installed.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

The retractable roof is fantastic, looks like a sporty coupe when up with little road noise, and perfect convertible when down.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Can t really say, there are so many, which is what makes the car special.
