Yeah that's what I'm thinking ... I do most maintenance myself but with one of these there will be a few main stealer only jobs.. Just really fancy one , not normally a merc man but these catch my eye.. And my ears with a v8 !  |

I can live with the mpg just want something reasonably reliable but not run of the mill ...
Had a lexus that war reliable did about 17 mpg but want something different with less revs and more torque |

CL600 V12 Bi-Turbo. Very large smile permanently on my face when driving and as quick as an Audi R8. Fuel economy ......well if you are asking then don't buy one as it is single digits in city traffic and not much better out of town. ABC suspension can cost several thousand if it fails and any other minor problems will always be close to a thousand to fix. I have grown middle aged and moved onto more sedate and sensible cars but no regrets over my madder years. |

Single digit fuel economy is to be expected with a car like that. I've a tuned mini Cooper a - tiny car and just a 1.6 engine, but with the modifications still only 23 or 24 mpg in traffic |
