Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake (2012 - 2018) CLS 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY AMG Sport 5d Tip Auto Owner Review

After two and a half years I'm just coming to the end of my tenure with my 2014 registered model which I bought in 2017 for £23k. I still feel special every time I get in it but I've run out of warranty and if something goes wrong, I'm not sure I'll be able to afford to fix it. This was a £47k car back in 2014 and it is beautifully kitted out and goes like stink if you want it to. Drive it in Sport Mode and grin all day - but watch the fuel consumption drop into the 20's as a result! However, what can you expect of a car that weighs the best part of two tonnes yet can get to 60 mph in less than 7 seconds (careful if you boot it out of corners though)?! I now no longer need a beast this big - and although once you're inside it feels fine, on the outside it's massive. My wife hates taking it shopping because it's so difficult to park in a supermarket or other "normal" bay. In black it looks especially imposing/impressive but we call it "The Hearse" for good reason! If I needed the carrying capacity again I wouldn't hesitate to buy a newer one. I'm replacing it with a smaller used M-B 250d C Series Coupe AMG Line Premium Plus - but I will miss it. Recommended!
