    New Cheap Commuter / Shopper Hybrid

    After having a Leaf for £3600 for 2 years I was loath to pay £6k+ for another one and not many suitable cars were under £5k however the petrol / electric Ionic is on offer at £4700 for 2 years 16k miles and its like a Korean Prius with a great interior and fab spec (radar cruise and dab plus tft...

    Buying An Old Merc - The Story So Far

    CLK63 not the £200k one this is a still rare cabrio with the 6.3 the first car to get it. 2006 with 100k miles - I have never bought anything so leggy in my life but as 4 seat cabrios go what options do I have (had a Mustang and a E500 and an SL with tiny seats) Spotted in cars and...

    Fancy A Merc Again With A 6.3

    Hello from the otherside - after joining in 2007 when I got a CLS55 I have since had a SL55 and a E500 convertible but now as the bitter reality of 7 year old twins at 53 slams home financially I was forced to cut down. One last hurrah was a new Mustang convertible last year but it was no Merc...

    Mechanical sympathy and EVs

    Our little Zoe has slotted in nicely to our car pool and it's got me thinking that Sunday morning nipping out for the papers, bacon etc I'm sure I'm not the only one cringing when doing this in a stone cold V8 that is still cold on return - on many an occasion I felt the need to drive around for...

    New Electric B Class 140 mile range

    Just spotted this now, seems good value at £27k after grant and the range is just enough to be better than others if the claim us true. A excellent perk company car I think and a 0-60 of 7.9 is impressive

    Ive ordered a Zoe

    Not sure why to be honest, curiosity, value, boredom all play a part but it will be shared and used to bum around with. It's purely on the financials £79 car £60 battery That's it for 24 months then hand back. Maybe I will love it, maybe Anna will but electric cars will be part of all of our...

    Buying etiquette (private sale) SL500 R129 (again)

    I accept the nicer cars cost more and it's easy to overlook the pricier ones on private sale as being sold by dreamers but after looking at this bloody car for a month that is very overpriced ( in my opinion and against other nice ones on sale) I thought I would consult the forum. 2 R129s stand...

    Plug in hybrid Mitsubishi

    Took a test drive yesterday in the 4h model not the top one but it was missing radar cruise, lane departure and collision warning none of which you need on the school run. I like smooth driving cars, I hate rev and lurch and this was similar to the lexus GS450 I had a while back, serenely...

    £45k on one MB or Three

    Trying to work out what cars are needed in our family only one answers itself - the Outlander plug in hybrid as a company car for the missus - no brainer. She rarely does more than 30 miles a day, will save a fortune over the Murano Now for myself, well I want a convertible and it will probably...

    Possible unexpected life change involves £15k S class

    I left my corporate warrior career 10 years ago at 41, had enough of the political crap and hand wringing anxiety of forecasts and results so as I had already set up my little company in 2000 I left a well paid sought after job as an Invensys divisional sales director (HVAC if anyone cares) to...

    Infiniti FX50 2012

    I will expand on the car specifically over the next few weeks but I have realised in 2 days no one has heard of infiniti in normal life. They have a range about to launch in 2014 that takes the brand above fancy Nissan into dedicated infiniti product. My car is a fancy Nissan being a 4 year old...

    E500 W212 Trickle Charge

    Hello chaps I've not used the E500 cab since the surprising Murano arrived 2 months ago, as such the battery has died and I need to pop it on a trickle charger. The manual hasn't helped so before I assume it's the battery terms is there anything I need to know? Appreciated as always.

    You dont NEED an AMG but .....

    Driving in the E500 today I'm thinking in real terms do you need more than this? I really doubt an AMG would be faster on any given real world journey as for handling the sport button makes it rock hard and quite horrid unless a smooth twisty road. I've had 4 Mercs, 2 AMG and 2 not a CLS55...

    Add On Dab Modules

    Who can recommend one and on what basis, I have DAB in the E500 (much better than the BMW DAB) and need it in the soon to arrive Murano. I am aware you can modulate into a frequency or plug into the actual aerial socket or look for an aux (dunno if I have one of those - Murano forums are not...

    Mr Indecisive is spoilt for choice

    Still not sorted a motor, the E cab with air scarf and heated seats is in theory a good winter steed but I hunger for size (!). Well if I'm honest if the Legend wasn't in a iffy Glasgow dealers I would have had it but it is and I haven't but in my local emporium of more interesting stuff I have...
