    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Expensive, Y reg 2001, bought as second owner, low mileage. But well worth the money!

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Expensive for servicing and any repair costs. Permanently thirsty, it drinks high octane petrol like its going out of fashion.

    Driving

    I have had no problems with the car to date. Hopefully it will stay that way, because Mercedes are very expensive for repair costs.

    It certainly gets a lot of looks. After all it is a good looking car!

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    It doesn't have the normal sports car supportive comfortable seats. More like standard leather seats.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    It doesn't have deadlocks on the doors which surprised me as the costs of fitting them in the manufacturing stage isn't that expensive for the extra security it would give the car.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Servicing is expensive but its a must. Not just with this car, but with any sporty motor.
