After nearly 7 years of driving company cars and paying company car tax on cars I realistically probably wouldn’t want to own I opted out of the scheme and decided it was time to get my own motor.
After @gingfto left his CLS500 with me when he was away with work a couple of runs in it to keep everything ticking over it made my mind up that I had to get a Merc even though I had semi convinced myself I was going to buy a Forester.
Ideally I would have liked a V8 this JDM V6 (272bhp) popped up and it ticked all the boxes. Had to be petrol, with 7G Tronic gearbox and have isofix which is actually quite rare from factory.
Everything is electric, the steering wheel adjustment, the parcel shelf, seats even the headrests and of course the memory function.
Despite buying it blind and having it transported over which I was fairly nervous about I couldn’t be happier with it and for a car that is the guts of 1900kg it actually goes really well. it’s nice having my own car again but a pain in the arse washing such a big car, especially since it’s black.
