    C55-first impressions

    So I picked up the beast on Friday.........IT IS AWESOME. I have owned quite a few performance type cars in the past and I must say that raw power of this machine is amazing. Now low-down in the range isn't so ferocious as other cars I've had but one once you get some momentum it really flies...

    W204 - First impressions...

    So my C180K Coupe has gone in for repair after some numpty ploughed into the side of it. I have been given a brand new W204 C180K Sport saloon as a courtesy car. Its got AMG wheels, is black and looks quite cool on the outside. On this inside, I'm not convinced by the new dash. Bit too...

    My W204 first impressions

    Well, my car is in having some bits sorted and they gave me this: to use for the duration, which should be until Wednesday. C220 CDI Auto Elegance. Feel: I must first say, everything the reviewers say about the way it drives is spot on - this car has the connected feeling you get when...

    C32 Impressions

    A local dealer is selling a 2002 C32 Estate, so I popped down to have a look-see. First impressions are that it had a very good specification. I'm not 110% familiar with every option for the W203, but this seemed to have quite a few? Heated electric leather with memory both sides, electric...

    First impressions & fuel consumption surprise!

    Went to fetch my son in Mpumalanga yesterday. It's a 400km roundtrip of which about 60% is done on the N4 highway. The rest is country roads varying from fair to bad. My impression of the CLK so far: Likes: She's an excellent freeway cruiser. Surprisingly good economy. With distronic set a...

    W221 S-Class 2006 - i-drive FIRST IMPRESSIONS

    I had the opportunity to study the function of the head unit and the user interface called i-Drive. i-Drive -------- First of all it is very easy to use. Nudge in four directions and twist left and twist right. The twist and the nudge are usually the same movement but they can be alternate...

    Impressions of the SLK55

    I drove the SLK55 today. What a rush. The noise is incredible with the roof down, and up. Sort of very rapid fire machine gun like, accompanied by a mechanical and gutteral roar -- raw yet refined -- with sensational power. If you imagine the noise my CLK55 (208) makes without Dolby Noise...

    initial impressions of new E350

    I've now put 400 or so miles on my new W211 E350 and thought I might jot down my initial impressions, if anyone is interested. As background, I "upgraded" from a 2002 W208 (C208?) CLK320, which I also had from new. Before that I had a W210 and a W124 (are estates still 'W'?). There are a...

    New SLK 350 First Impressions

    I picked up my new 350 yesterday, these are my first thoughts on the car:- The boot is not as big as the old slk with the roof up due to the Wheely bin type cover that replaces the roll away one, I used to get 2 sets of golf clubs in the old one now 1 is a squeeze. I opened the bonnet (not...

    First impressions

    Had my new C180 Avantgarde SE for 6 days now (another silver MB hits the streets...) and I just love it (as does my wife). We like it better than the 3 series we had before we left for Texas. Bought it on a register before 30th June deal even though we did not relocate back until 1st August...

    300TE 12v impressions from test drive

    It is white, 1990, full leather/air con, no traction control and no cruise. Everything else including the fantastic electric seats and light grey interior which I liked a lot. Few stone chips that's about it. VERY smooth, more smooth and quieter than the 24v I tested before. I don't think...
