Wow!!!! This is one fast car. The engine was uncannily smooth for a diesel (better than the I6 730d which I also drove today), relentlessly torquey and that 7sp box. Really smooth. 80mph on speedo a mere 2k RPM, reckon on mway this will be at least as economical as my 211 220cdi. It cornered...

Had my parents round yesterday and was poping out for a take away, jokingly said to my dad I will take your car.....well he just through me the keys and said no problem :) :) So roof down and off I went, what a car. I know its been out a while and even a new shape now, but for what you can...

Drove the new E350 CDI Coupe today & must say it's 80% improvement on the old one's, Navigation has full postcode, sleek design, not much body roll, super quiet apart from the tyres, oh one more thing...it goes like stink!:thumb: for 40k i think it's reasonably priced, let the pic's do the...

Link to programme. Francesco da Mosto celebrates the 40th anniversary of the release of The Italian Job and explores its enduring popularity. He tracks down some of the real stars of this last hurrah of the Swinging Sixties and discovers some interesting behind-the-scenes secrets, including...

Oh yeah!:bannana: What a beast. Awesome acceleration, man, that was the longest test drive of my career. Good thing is, it's owned by someone who actually drives the thing....... Lucky for you, I used the opportunity to take some more rubbish photos!

I went to Mercedes Benz South Lakes in Ulverston today to look at, and drive, a CLK500 and an SL500. Both cars are for sale under the 'Approved Stratstone' programme as opposed to the Approved Used MB one. Reason for that is the age of the cars apparently. Anyway, I drove the 2003 (03)...

My quest for a new (used) car goes on... forgive me if I bore you with the details! I am decided on a CLK, having briefly looked at the C Class Coupe which I cannot bring myself to really liking. The C Class coupe looks OK inside, the outside is an acquired taste and it is not me. Anyway, I...

I managed to get a test drive from the audi dealership today. The interior ok but not as nice as a W211 E class. The design of the back seats was good in that you could fully fold down the seats and have access to the trunk. Engine note was superb when starting the engine. Made a deep rumble...

Some of you may remember I drove a CLS63 AMG a few weeks ago, and was mightly impressed with the sheer power of this car. Since then, however I have driven an Audi S5 Tiptronic, which amazed me with this combination of power and handling. I was tempted by then BUT.... A couple of days ago I...

I was actually after a test drive in a C63 and E63 with Lancaster in Ipswich. However, their E63 - which was an estate anyway - had left the dealership, and they are expecting a C63 next week (Show I shall be going back when that's arrived) Instead they had a CLS for me to drive. I had...

Helloooo all! Well I test drove this today: First impressions are what a great looking car! I really liked the sports version and preferred it over the SE tenfold! The sports seats were lovely and they molded around me perfectly! I really like the two tone black/white or cream...

I will soon be getting my first company car so filled with excitement I went into the local Merc dealer today in the hope of a test drive. The reply I got was along the lines of "if its a company car they will be getting it through a leasing company so we have no realistic chance of selling you...

Ford have started to ship the new Ford Mondeo to dealerships, this new car isn't due to be offically released until the 29th June in the UK. Today i got to test drive one, What a major improvement on the outgoing model and previous ones. it was part desgined by an ex Audi designer, which...

So I finally got my hands on an ML500 (W163) and went for a spin. Have to say, the sound was nice, but quite muted. Also, there were a few creaks, but much of that seemed to be the leather? A low achiever revved up his 1.0 Micra at the lights - he was of course dispatched. So, why didn't I...

I managed to arrange a test drive in the new E63 today. What a car............... I have not driven the older E55 V8 Compressor to compare to the new E63 but it was very very quick. I have been in a friends Porsche 993 twin turbo, and using my butt dyno I would say its just as quick in a...

I drove the CLS55 for the first time on Saturday at MB Poole. It was a long test drive of about 1 hour. We went on A, B and town roads. Winding, bumpy, narrow and smooth fast roads. I even went airborne :eek: The salesman was excellent, never once complained, and guided me with charm, wit and...

What an experience, I drove an AMG SL60 yesterday and boy could that thing shift.......seriously seriously fast. Packing a M119 V8 under the hood which AMG have bored out to 6.0 litres from 5.0, this engine prodcuces nigh on 385bhp. There are only a handful of these cars in the country due to...

my father lives in spain and recently took delivery of a new cls500 in obsdian black and fully loaded with everything. it is awesome!!! quick, handles,dynamic seating is awesome, looks amazing. i have a picture to show you when i upload my benz shots.... i was driving round the medway...

My local dealer had a launch day for the new E Class estate and CLK Cabriolet. I went down there and had a look round and took a CLK320 Cabriolet for a spin, lovely day for it with the roof down as it was clear blue skies. It really is a lovely car, beautiful sound from the engine (I'm...
