  • Summary

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What does this car say about you?

    Hopefully, that I have taste. It is an executive car and some can be dull, but I opted for a White one with black panoramic roof with the AMG pack and it does look good!

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    They love it......... without exception.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Ask me again after 3 years when I have experienced the true running costs of it - if asked today, definately yes.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    As the kids will be getting their own cars, maybe a coupe, be that a merc or ano.

    Very good - not pushy. I had not decided on what car to go for at the time, but they were patient and did not push me toward any particular car. Their after sale service has also been excellent.

  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Extremely smooth, but if you need power, put your foot down and watch her go.

    What's it like to park?

    Obviously for a large car you have to pick your spots, but the parking assistant sensors make parking easy.

    No

    Efficiency - I cant belive that for a 3 litre engine I am pushing 50 mpg on long journeys!

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    I have no one preference but love the spec. I like the automatic main beam, sat nav (Command) is the best I've had, ambient lighting on the inner dors and dash board is also a very nice touch.
