I agree with all displayed complaints and I thought the list of negatives would be complete.
But I found something more: I hate the unbelievable remote and totally unsporting behave of my "downsized" E class petrol engine. Plus...the mpg value is "designed" for EU test-cyclus. In reality, this engine drinks like a guzzler before warmed up.
The trend goes more and more to such a crappy and unsexy design of engines. Even the newest 911 suffers from this development.
We're all true Morganeers now Heinz. I keep looking at the back end of the new C class and think that's hideous and then I look at the Benzs from the 50, 60, 70, 80s and I want them in my garage! Much more interesting. Amazing what you can pick up less money than you can lose in depreciation on a new one each year!
