Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

It was left hand drive, had very low mileage and in exceptional condition.

What was the dealer like?

Independent car and parts dealer. Made a 30 mile 1 hour journey to pick me up from the nearest train station.

What's it like to drive?

Awesome. Parkers obviously didn't test drive the e500, because you cannot call it 'not exiting to drive'. I test drive the E350 CDI, and yes agree, it was boring. I picked my 500 up in just north of Nottinghan and drove it down to Portsmouth, took it on a ferry to Caen and then drove it on down to Marbella in Spain. I done lot's of driving in many diffenrt cars and have to say this was the best drive ever. All the power you need, yet refined, firm suspension, perfectly balanced.

What's it like to park?

It is a big car, but it has front and rear parking sensors and a rear camera so quite easy to park.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

The roof can be put up and down whilst driving.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The onboard technology is amazing.
