    Next C63 will be a 4 pot hybrid

    I read the Autocar article today. Over 2000kg estimated weight for the next C63. Thats an incredible weight. I'll probably but an electric car next to replace the E43 - Model Y will be fractionally lighter - and stick to my lightweight cars for fun

    This is why I hate main dealers!

    "the line quality is atrocious and even trying to get them to find the registration proved harder than it should be" sounds like they wrote the incorrect reg no down. Not too big an issue but I'd suggest this could be the root cause of the rest of the mis-information issues. Oh and I'd go for...

    E-Class seating position/lumbar issues

    I never found the seats that comfortable on the S211, S212 but the S213 seem much better to me especially leg support. In the Lotus. Get in (never easy with the roof on) and sit down. Fixed carbon bucket seats so no adjustment to worry about!

That said the western M25 is the heaviest traffic of any motorway in the UK so I’d use the eastern side. There...
