I love this car and always look forward to driving it! The handling is fantastic, but on the highway is where it really shines. The Kompressor / supercharger, gets it from 60 to 100+ VERY quickly and has a perfect sports car feel with the AMG designed suspension found in the ‘Sport’ models.
There are many fun features like tunnel mode, where you can press the recirculation button which will close all the windows and sunroof. When you leave the tunnel and press the button again, all windows return as they were. There is a refrigerated cubby under the center armrest, ‘rest-mode’ can run the heat or AC for 30 mins after leaving the car, auto wipers, tilt down in reverse passenger mirror and many more.
There are 2 basic maintenance services (from my dealers website): Service A -- Change Engine Oil and Filter, Inspect Brake Pads & Discs, Set Tire Pressure, Top off all Fluids, Inspect Exhaust System, Check Operation of Lights & Accessories, Inspect Suspension and Steering Components for $300.00 and Service B AT 24,000 - 48,000 - 72,000 - 96,000 MILES: Same as Service A but in addition, they take apart all throttle bits and clean and lubricate them for $600.00.
This is not a good car if you live where there is snow or ice. You would want to have an alternate car to drive on bad weather days. I have my 4X4 truck I use while the MB stays warm in the garage during winter storms.
I shopped this car against the 9-3 Aero and the Jaguar X-Type 6 speeds. I loved all three.
Good Luck. Let me know if you have more questions.
Cheers,
Joe
