Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
You get what you pay for. Quality and speed!
Costs
20mpg around town is optimistic! Especially when you feel what it's like to put your foot down.

On the road
Driving
Smooooooth! Very rapid (be careful). I would NOT recommend you turn the ESP off! Tiptronic box is brilliant.
Performance
0-60 7.8 seconds and about 150mph. Why bother with the C32 AMG?
-
Living with it
Reliability
Rock solid, as one expects.
Image
Depends on your viewpoint. I think image is excellent as the styling and exterior are understated, but when you put your foot on the gas you will leave most cars standing. Less brash than the BMW 330i.
Comfort
Zzzzzzzzz!

Security and Service
Security
NCAP five stars, speaks for itself.
Service
Not as fluid a buying experience as I has expected, e.g. car was not fully ready when I called to collect it. Small niggle.
