CLS 500

Is there a better car than this?

Like Mercedes, love V8s. Thought it was about time I stopped liking and actually bought one.

What can I say, possibly the best car I may ever own. Amazing engine/gearbox combo (2 reverse gears?) in a great body with all the refinement you could possibly ask for. As for the styling, does it get any better than this??

Difficult to think what it could do better, even the boot is huge. The only real issue I can think of is the fuel consumption - cold winter mornings around town bring it down to 17mpg, but a long run easily returns 27. The Harmon Kardon sound system fitted to this car is fantastic and the Xenon lights make such a difference. TV is a bit pointless but the kids love it.

Mine has been trouble free, but I can guess that the prices escalate pretty rapidly if anything breaks (you can't even check the gearbox oil yourself). Budget for the fuel, get a good comprehensive warranty and sleep well at night.
