Never assume never assume never assume. I assumed the E500 would be a big car, it's not its bloody tiny like a 3 series, not only that its a mass of cheap hard plastic and tiny tiny little wheels. Bugger, not love at first sight!
Best thing? The engine is great, also nice and burbly, gearbox sublime, comand is the best nav I've had and the HK sound also good. DAB has great interface much better than the jag or BMW.
Look at the pic from the rear, wheels look ridiculous - I'm going to need some convincing this is a 2 year car. Took roof off and you sit under the windscreen, nothing like the SL, your sat forward and admittedly I'm a stumpy 5'6" but still it feels a bit odd. Between the rear seats is a wind diffuser that is fixed blotting out rear view, press a button and it gets higher up making it worse. With the roof up 2 speakers fire into the rear window, roof down they are open on the rear deck firing up and out, my Kylie show tunes can be heard by all and sundry.
I feel a bit sick .... Tell me I'm wrong (!)
