Evening, long time no post, but seeing as I'm about to be in a Merc for the next 2 years I thought I'd say hello.
After spending £13k on petrol in 2 years in a 2006 335i, and pretty much the last 12 years in bmws, I've opted for a new C250cdi coupe amg sprt ed 125 auto on a 2 year lease deal which arrives on Friday.
My plan is simply to halve my fuels bills after averaging 26mpg in the BMW. + enjoy cheaper insurance and no tax.
I've not even driven one, but the reports read well, and I'm willing to trade a little performance and a rock hard ride for much better economy, a better ride/handling balance, and an up to date modern car. The standard spec is great, and the supplier managed to track one down with full leather and heated seats. Looking forward to it.
Will post up a couple of pics on Friday.
(and if anyone wants a 335i for £13k let me know!)
