Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Must have option is the 7 speed gearbox, very smooth. V6 350 is a delightful engine and capable of easy London driving or long trips to the South of France.

Easy of course...

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Magnet on the camshaft had to be replaced after engine light came on.
What's most practical about your car?
At 6'4 not many cars are practical for my height. My previous was a 997C2S and before that the CLK55. This car is exactly what a gentlemen needs from a car. Good size boot, plenty of legroom, a lowish centre console allowing the left knee to project over (no the case in a BMW) , the right looks, plenty of gadgets, 2 doors and rear seats when needed.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Sport chassis, electronic speedo, AMG sport exhaust, keyless go.
