I'm looking for some ideas as I have come to a grinding halt on the way to upgrade the audio/phone in my 2005 SL350. I definitely want bluetooth phone, and I'm ok with the quality (ish) of the Comand NTG1 sound, but the sat nav looks a bit Mickey Mouse display wise. Choices are..... Option1...

My rear tyres - 255 35 R18's are now down to 4mm of tread depth, they're a fairly cheap brand that came with the car when I bought it in March. With the bad weather this week, there were two near incidents of the back end breaking away. My daily commute is 110 miles round trip - Derby -...

I arrived at a friend's house just after mid-day today with the intention of taking him out to lunch at a local hostelry and spending the remainder of a fine afternoon playing steam trains in the backyard. Didn't work out quite like that. Sticking out of the back of his four car garage was a...

Morning all, I am heading towards the end of my 3 year contract on my E350 coupe. As such I am now finding myself drawn towards the big decision of what to replace it with. As much as I love the car, a coupe isn't really going to cut it with a growing family. My choices currently...

As much as I love the little polo (even after the turbo went pop), I'm thinking of changing it by the end of the year as I've now grown a little bored of it. I still do moon miles so it'll have to be a diesel for now, but i'm in no hurry so i'm gonna be scanning around for some time. So I ask...

It's that time for me, after changing jobs last year, it's come to the time where I get to choose my car rather than a hand me down from the pool. I want an automatic and I've narrowed down my choice so I'll only list those rather than all the choices. It was going to be a choice between...

Anyone else been to one of the Mercedes Choices driving events? I went to one at Goodwood House yesterday and thought it was great fun. It was nice to try different cars (apart from an E220CDi which I thought was way too slow) and interesting to talk to the various staff, including a mechanic...

It's dawned on me over the past couple of months that the ride on my 260E isn't as smooth as I'd expect it to be for an executive car with this much sprung weight. I generally notice it when going over manhole covers, those metal strips on the motorway or poor road surface. It's a bit hard to...
