  • Driving it

    What's it like to drive?

    It s a very comfortable place to be. Having previously had a Porsche, the Porsche feels more like a teenager, and makes you want to drive it fast. the Mercedes feels more grown up, it makes you enjoy the ride, rather then trying to prove that you are a racing driver. Having said that the mercedes could do with more power though, for those few times when you want to act like a teenager.

    What's it like to park?

    It s quite easy and you have a lot of help from the options installed.
