Thought that I would share some thoughts with you all after getting the car a few weeks ago.... :3:
Scared me the first week with the mpg showing less than 10
then realised after reading the hefty manual that the computer was showing in US gallons! Changed it over to UK gallons and its showing a respectful 15 with a mixture of town and motorway driving - happy with the knowledge that it will get better and that its on a par with the E39 M5.
Really frustrating to try and keep the car within its running in limits, knowing that it can do so much more! Booked in next week for the 1200 service so look forward to driving away in another car with all that 507hp to play with!
I have driven SMG cars before and think this latest version is very smooth and just love those blips of the throttle going down the gears! Auto is smooth but if your stopping quickly, I dont like the way the gears clunk down, its as if they cant catch up with the speed of the car slowing.
Love the HUD and Logic 7. It doesnt feel fast BUT I know it is, just have to be careful to keep it under those limits
Fitted a mesh grill from www.racemeshgrilles.com and I prefer it to the standard OEM part. Really nice quality and a doddle to fit and not that expensive either. I had the piano black interior trim fitted but when i saw it was just too dark inside so back went the aluminium which is fine and contrasts well with the black
So far, there is nothing I dislike about this car. I could be very very picky about little things but I am thinking hard what they could be. I like the looks rather than love them but it certainly comes across as a very powerful understated car which I like.
For those waiting for their cars, I hope you enjoy it as much as I am :byee55amg
