    Speeding tickets/fines

    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...

    Any good c350e leasing deals around?

    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...

    C350e vs the rest

    Having done quite a lot of investigation on plug-ins, I must confess to being a little confused. Essentially what I don't get is why the street price of the C350e is really so low compared to the competition (or maybe why the street price of the competition is so high?). I'm thinking here...

    Responding to £40k threshold

    Given that a list price (inc VAT!!) of £40k or above adds a bill of £1500ish to 5 year ownership costs, are any manufacturers likely to respond by offering slightly cut down (or less deeply discounted) models? Eg I covet the C350e estate, but find that extra £1500 cost somewhat unappealing and...

    ICE in C350e

    I'm interested in the C350e and like a nice stereo, but one thing I'm keen to avoid is the higher rate of VED. The Burmester upgrade sounds like it could be rather wonderful, but takes it over the magic £40k level, and for half that kind of money (and I don't particularly want the other bits...

    Third party ICE in Mercedes

    E-Class Cabrio SE 2011 - no Aux?

    I was test driving an E-Class cabrio the other day and the dealer told me that there was no way to connect an iPhone to play music (although it did work for telephony over Bluetooth). None? Not even via a cable? Apparently not! Seems odd to me. He said that one could get some third...

    E-Class Cabriolet - advice wanted!

    I love my old Volvo C70 Cabriolet. Strange, because it drinks like a fish and handles like a whale. It's getting on a bit, so I've been looking around for alternatives. One of the problems is that with 2 children of 13 & 16, I need something with space in the back - the C70 has this. A decent...
