I was once seduced by a MB CL600. All V12 BiTurbo and dead cow on every surface inside. I took it in for the 48K service (belts and everything taking 2 days) and they offered me a Smart Coupe.
I took it out anyway but after two roundabouts and a violent case on nodding head-itis due to the god-awful gearbox I turned around and took it back. I handed back the keys saying I would rather walk than use it.
I am certain if I had taken the time to learn the best way to get it to move it would have been fine but sadly it drove me instantly mad ! Basingstoke - land of roundabouts - with that horrible gearbox.
