First time Mercedes Owner

[Trickytrevs]

Hi all, just bought my first Mercedes. Friends of mine were slightly surpised having driven round in Land Rovers for the last 20 years. Anyway girlfriend bought an SLK beginning of the year and I got the bug. Chopped in the Disco3 for a 2009 CLC350 Sport in Obsidian black two weeks ago, I know people say it's a facelift of a seven year old car, but I love it. It is super comfy, the seven speed auto box with paddle shift is super smooth, plus it accelerates like the proverbial scolded cat. Makes me smile every time I get in it, even on the way to work on a Monday morning...........love this car.
Wasn't worried too much about insurance, being the wrong side of 40 ...... until I remembered the girlfriends not quite 30 and the crooks put my premium up by £240.00......never mind, worth every penny.

anyway hello all.

Congrats on the car purchase and having a 20 something year old girlfriend! I used to have one of those when I was also in my twenties.
