impressions

E Class Estate (W213) impressions after 1 Month use.. Hi All, I got My E class estate (Grey - SE, Premium Plus, Command, Driving Assist Plus, 360 Camera, Wireless charging..) delivered a day before Tax hike and my impressions are as below... 1. UK Map Update installation stuck @ 67% and...

My first post here as I've just bought a low mileage, 8 month old C Class 250 Sport Auto Bluetec Estate after 35 years of VW's. Initial impressions are very favourable, especially the build quality, power and comfort. I'm also very impressed by the local MB dealer in considerable contrast to...

So having got my Mcar unit fitted today, first impressions are very good. Whilst the user interface is not intuitive, it does interface well with the factory fitted components. Fitting it was a pain, and I almost regretted greatly not going for the fullly fitted option. It should really...

Took a Yas Marina Blue (colour) M3 out for a good test drive today. Looks wise, for the interior and exterior I think the M3 looks fantastic – absolutely no doubts there for me. I also seem to prefer the M3 over the M4 for now although I typically would look to get the coupe. These were my...

Well believe it or not I’ve driven the best part of 800 miles in my first week with my new car and I am chuffed to bits with it. I keep discovering new things about it every day so I thought I do a bit of a first review! From the outside the Magnetite Black paint looks different in...

Having felt that the rear of the C320 was not as stable over poor surfaces as it once was, and, in addition to lower grip, there was a very noticeable increase in both road noise and harshness with an unpleasant droning on some surfaces, particularly motorways, I decided that it was time for...

We ordered 3 New W205 C250's AMG Line at work each arriving within the space of 3 weeks, and each with specific delivery dates. Cars were in stock at a dealers in the South and we are based up in Manchester, so the cars were due to be driven up to us. Car 1 was no problem delivered on time...

Well I drove down to MSL today to pick the car up, I felt sick with excitement and wondering if I had done the right thing, it’s not as if the C63 is any slouch and I was wondering can it really be as good as you see on the You tube clips and reviews on the American forums. Anyway I arrived at...

Got to give a big thumbs up to Andy at PCD.... did quite a lot of work on my E55.. w211 and the guy knows his stuff!!! expected the bill to a bit of a biggy (£1500)... but in comparison to Mercedes and my local garage, I have no doubt it would have been much more.... service was great and...

Good… Car looks OK in the current MB style, seems to have excellent solid build quality, 3 rear seat belts, fuel efficiency, suspension very compliant on our bad roads, sound system seemed really good. Not so good …… Stop/Start – I know its on most new cars but on first...

This Friday I'll have had my R172 for four weeks, so it's high time I took stock of the ownership experience so far. I make no apology for drawing various comparisons with my previous SLK, and with my Yeti (which I've also been getting to know over the past month). Driving it Well...

Bought my first MB, an S211 E320 CDI, in February this year. Ha\ve already racked up over 4000 miles! 1) Solid as a rock. Impressed by build quality. 2) Not as comfortable seat-wise as my previous car - MkII Renault Laguna. 3) Some niggly faults to fix, which, looking back, probably contributed...

Hey Guys Well I finally took delivery of the SLK yesterday, I've only done about 40 miles but here are my first impressions. Great looking and it really turns heads. Performance is good but the engine feels tight and need to be run in, couple that with the fact I'm getting used to the...

I got my 2004 E320 CDI Estate on Feb 8th, so only a few days in. Bad points: parking brake - hard to get used to, although not too much of a problem on an automatic. Folding mirrors: one has already stopped its indicator working. Good points: Everything else! Love it. Paired my phone with the...

Hi, I see lots of C63s around these days and they look great in my opinion. In addition there seem to be a lot doing track days and the owners seem impressed with them. I have a few questions? 1. Is the Edition 125 worth it? I have seen mixed opinions. 2. How does the PP edition drive - I...

Hi all, Thought I would give a summary of my car after 9 weeks of ownership. Spec: C250CDI Coupe Edition 125 Cavansite Blue Alpaca Grey Leather Panoramic Roof Dynamic Handling Package Extended Light Package Engine – given this is a 4 cylinder, the performance is very good. Noise levels rise in...

Hi again, Well the car arrived yesterday in time for me to make the 16 mile journey home form work. Whenever I drive a new car for the first time I do get quite nervous about anyone bumping, anyway, I made it home unscathed. I was trying to press buttons and view displays I should not have...

Finally took delivery of my new C350CDI on thursday, I am quite simply blown away by the whole package! I had high expectations for the performance and it has certainly satisfied. The thrust from this thing when in sports mode truly staggers. Drove a 5.0 V8 Mustang GT in the US a few months...

Well my mate went and bought an immaculate black one and I thought I'd better have a drive and see if it was anything like my CLK500. Chalk and cheese is the phrase. Yes the engines are pretty much the same but the 7 speed box on it appears to make it faster through seamless gear changes I...

Hi folks, I thought i would do a little review to help anyone else thinking of installing a new head unit in there CLK or considering a Becker head unit. I really wanted an o.e look and if you have looked at my other thread you will know there are very few on the market. Becker for me is the...
