OK....so this is my dream motor...has been for a while if i'm being honest, but when it comes down to buying one (soon hopefully) I'm still undecided, i know what my heart wants (1st gen CLS 63 6.2 sedan) just for the hell of it, but head says 350 shooting brake( I have dogs and grandchild to consider).
I love the lines of the first gen but the front end of the second gen, seeing as there are over 100 CLS owners on here in various guises i would love to hear your thoughts/preferences.....problems and issues for different models etc, true running costs and the like.(reason i ask this is because Journeyplanner.com only shows a £300 difference in fuel between 24mpg 63amg and 45 mpg 350D over a 4500mile trip) not much in the grand scheme of things
I would use the car on longer journeys and the continent, would be looking at a 30k budget and obviously FSH, so probably MB approved used!
Come on folks...lets start a good debate!!
