Two Mercs
« on: 24 September 2018, 20:39:28 »

Been in a 64 plate SLK-not far so couldn't really judge on its comfort/handling-not keen on styling of these with long nose and dumpy rear end,but the dash I liked a lot it was uncluttered with instruments clear and easily read.Then I went in a later model C200-again not far-the styling was more pleasing to me but the dash appeared cluttered and less clear than the earlier car and had one of those gormless screen things stuck on top of dash like a chav special afterthought so that alone would put me off having one.If manufacturers must fit these screens why can't they integrate them into the dash design? >:(

Well I believe you honest :y

I  know what you mean about the gormless* chav screens . My dad has one on his fiesta. They look like afterthoughts.

* great word, haven't heard that used for ages.

I must admit I love Merc E-Classes, and one like the E350 that I had on loan the other year when my Omega was off the road.

I really could get used to one of them :D :D 8) :y

Must say I like the look of the S class they have on loan across the road from me although what it's like inside I don't know.Given the money though I'd still go "classic car" rather than anything modern.

Bro has just got another S Class (diesel) after clearly falling out of love with BMW.

I wouldn't want one.

Yes the one they've got across the road is a 350d.

Wouldn't have a diesel Merc or any other "executive" type luxury saloon, big car big V8 petrol is the only option in my opinion.

For exec limos, a V6 diesel is a good choice due to significant torque and smoother running than a medium sized V8 lump...

...not that I am against V8s, far from it!!!

A V8 is the wrong noise for a large exec, that should be quiet and effortless.

V8 should be in proper cars. Quick cars that inspire the driver. End of.

A V8 burble is loved by a true petrolhead , it's what a true petrolhead aspires to owning. A diesel executive is for someone who can't really afford to run the petrol version that's my opinion, which I will stick to.😎
