I love my 32 one of the best cars I've had, prefer it over a c55.
Does everything I need it to do as a daily car!

very impressive, best i've ever got is 27.8mpg out of my boat.
Would you mind providing a comparison between the C55 and C32K would make good reading.

Love the supercharged V6, it's light on its feet and power delivery is instant compared to the 5.4L V8 in the C55 which felt a bit lazy.
My c55 was a bit frustrating as it use to slide everywhere in damp conditions, with 412lbft torque it desperately needed an LSD which my c32 benefits from.
My 407hp C32 is faster in a straight line than my tuned 398hp C55.
Handling and steering feel on the c55 is much better especially on mine as it had coilovers.
C32 drinks less fuel and is cheaper to insure.
Sound I personally prefer the wine and roar of the supercharged V6 over the V8 in the C55 which I found a bit too quite.
This is just my opinion, most people would probably take the c55s better build quality and reliability over the c32.

If it's anything like my fuel computer, then it's all lies! There is a 10% over-read discrepancy between what is shown and what it is actually doing!

The C32 is gone, it was PX'd with my C350 Coupe.
I did love that car; it was a great car, very rapid however as with all these cars the reliability was a bit of an issue.
