    R Class

    We were keen on a 7-seat R-class. Until we actually sat in one. The middle seat in the middle row is an after-thought and is too narrow to be comfortable(for us). In all other respects I think they are good cars.

    Has Artico completely replaced leather?

    enjoyed the Christmas markets? We did. But enjoyed the bier cellars more! Such a civilised way of drinking and eating too much.

    GL/ML info needed - help

    The problem with the R is that it isn't a 7-seater - more a 6.5 seater. The middle seat in the middle row is just too compromised. Which ruled it out for us - which is a shame as I like the car otherwise. If Mercedes could fit 3 normal size seats in the middle row instead of 2 USA-sized seats...

    ML 320 or E 350 Coupe?

    Interesting thread, this. When I bought my E280 Sport Estate, I nearly went for an ML320, but didn't. I have winter tyres so grip in the snow is no problem, but with 3 growing kids I could do with more internal space than the E ... hence me looking at MLs again! Just got back from the alps -...

    w204 Facelift Official Press Release/Pictures

    You're right, it won't be coming here. They are such teasers, those Germans, aren't they?

    Help me choose a Summer-fun classic-car

    MX-5 (but only because you've ruled out an Elise).

    Mobilo rescue and a 212 Sport E class for ME!!!

    I have no problem with frameless doors. But my Mum did, many years ago. She came back from a New Year's Day party and stumbled out of the passenger door of dad's Citroen DS Pallas, blind drunk. She slammed the door shut without letting the seat-belt buckle fully retract. The frameless door...

    Wish I could say the same.

    Which W209 CLK?

    Must have been a real orphan to be left out on a wind-swept disused airfield for all that time!

    Driving a C63 fitted with Winter Tyres

    Now you've fitted some winter tyres, you had better hope we get some more snow - because they are great fun. Boot it and the tail will be out having a wail of a time, but when you want to get somewhere safely, drive normally, and you'll get there. That's my experience with the Michelin Pilot...

    Which W209 CLK?

    Blimey, she's a bit of a part-timer, then. I too would aim for a facelift model - muich nicer overall. We've got a 200k in the cab body. No ball of fire, but smooth enough - ideal for the Mrs!

    E280 CDI SPORT or NOT ?!

    I've had 2 pre-facelift Avantgarde estates, and now drive a facelift 280 Sports Estate. The Sport is firmer but nicer overall in my opinion (sharper steering, nicer seats) without being excessive - it's still a great motorway car. Unlike the BMW M-Sports that I have driven which were really...

    Anyone remapped a C220CDI estate?

    Rumours are that chipping/remapping will be an MOT failure in the future, along with DIY HID/xenon headlights.

    Best Estate.

    But the OP Has a "V230 Ambiente" which makes it a Mk1 Vito van with windows and seats, doesn't it?

    Mercedes Diesel Vs Petrol

    We've had 7 Mercs - 5 diesel and 2 petrol. None of them has ever let us down (must be the way I look after them ;)) although 1 failed EGR valve on a 270CDI made it rather smokey.
