Is there a good reason that there's no estate version of this? It would seem to be an obvious option to me...

You've got to feel sorry for Mrs Trellis's son...

Well, that's the least silly one. Trouble is that these are all dependent on traffic and weather conditions, but I would expect to be hit with a fine or even a ban for doing over 100 - however mad that might be...

That's seriously fast!

So the big change was in terms of court sentencing/fines and any conflation with tolerance of minor infringements is a figment of my paranoia?

Ha! Most of my friends seem to be called Charles... I did drive past a van the other day and it got me wondering. The North Circular Road near us has a new average speed thing and so everybody now drives at 50mph (give or take) on this section, in all 3 lanes, which is oddly disconcerting.

Just wondering if anyone here has had (or heard of) one of these new style speeding tickets and fines based on income? Also, what's the scoop on minor infringements lower than the 10%+2 ACPO guidelines - has that changed? I can see that there'd be a lot of money to be made (in the short term...

Is it just Tapatalk that regards this as page 350? ;-)

Ah, well that'll teach me to believe a Mercedes salesman just because he talks confidently and with a BBC accent ;-)

Just thinking about possible depreciation on C350e to work out whether I want to buy or lease. I only want one of these things for 2-3 years, at which point I'll replace it with something with a better electric range. I reckon pound will weaken even more against Euro, so that will push prices...

What's the view of the panel regarding build quality of c350e saloon vs estate? I hear that the saloons are built in South Africa, and the estates in Germany, so there might be a difference?

Had someone call me to try to sell me a c350e estate lease recently. The offer was £333/month on a 9+23 at 10k (so that works out to £10656 for 2 years, or £444/month all-in) and I was wondering if that was a good deal? BTW, the spec was for sports with premium pack and metallic paint. The...

You & me both - following my confession of RWD ignorance!

Interesting that they're sticking resolutely above £40k, even if a discounted price would be just below for the entry-level model.

Internal Combustion Engine

That's a major irritation - even with the silly £10k discounts...

Seems perfectly reasonable to me if you're in the car. A test with a locked car and a garden hose seems to be in order.

Welcome! Might I ask where this dealer is? Would love to see an estate in the flesh!

Yes, but I don't actually have one! Just a short test drive so far...

Didn't know it was RWD!
