From Volvo T5 to My 1st Mercedes

[b00geyman]

As a long time Ovlov fan, I was looking to replace my T5 S60, that's the 250bhp Turbo, with , well to be honest another. But, long story short I bought a 2004 CLK 200 Kompressor Avantgarde. I am well impressed , its comfy,can lift its skirts to trot down the road, and has lots of buttons to push. I think I am converted. Its got a few niggles, some slight knocking over bumps, possibly the rear ??, need decent tyres, and replacing some interior with cleaner bits....I mean to say, dirty seatbelts....:failAnyhooooo I am from Ecosse, bit in't middle overlooking River Forth, I look forward to asking questions, picking yer brains. And if you think there is no such thing as a stupid question ....just wait.

I've had 16 Volvo's including numerous T5's awesome cars until the Chinese got hold of them and quality went backwards. Now switched to VW as my daily driver. Weekender is a W208 CLK sport with Brabus tuning.

Enjoy the car and the forum

Still like mine - but wish the bloody rattle in fifth gear would be fixed.

OP - Congrats - hope the change works for you.
