Well, after knocking on 2 months of ownership, I am still like a poedo with a new Laptop.
This thing is amazing !
Each time I jump in and hit the start button, the forthcoming epic journey begins. More so than when I had my C 63.
Reasons:
Looks: I love powerful saloons and IMO , the E just looks more of a beast then the C, but that is probably just because it is generally `bigger` all round. Colour: I think the Obsidian Black is so much nicer than my previous Silver C63, but again just my opinion. Interior: This is a huge leap forward from the C . The quality, fitment, dash/console all just oozes quality and makes you feel really special inside. Power: Well at 550bhp, I aint complaining. Noise: on stock set up, sound much nicer than C especially on cold starts. Handling: Not quite as sporty as C, but handles the power at the rear with a lot more confidence and control. Brakes: As good as anything out there. Steering: Again, not as agile a C but plenty of feedback, and confidence inspiring when choosing lines, works very well with that much more planted rear end. Acceleration: What a rush ! In Sport + mode, a few seconds with the go pedal pushed into the carpet and it goes absolutely bloody bonkers ! And I love it ! MPG: Don't really look or care, all I know is , my credit card spend on fuel is about the same as the C. Value for money: I cannot fault this car, for what I have paid for it, I feel like a million dollars when I am driving it.
To say I am happy is an understatement. For a car purchase price of £40k+, there is nothing out there, that can tempt me away from this.
Don't` get me wrong, I loved my 507 Saloon, but this......is summat else.
