Sold the plus 4 a week before my planned trip to France, bought a 2 year old Merc SLK200 AMG 3 days before we set off.
Great trip round France, 2300 miles at an average of 36 mpg, no problems.
I could navigate speed bumps (of which there are many in France)without grounding the chassis, fill up with fuel without the click, click, click, then fuel down the back of the car and on my shoes, no leaks in the torrential downpours we encountered, I could see the speedo and did not need to ask how fast we were going everytime we came across a speed camera, the luggage was in the boot safe and keeping dry, the engine ran perfectly. (boring really!!)
Half the price of the plus 4, smaller engine, more power, better on fuel, cheaper to insure.
Definitely the right decision!!!!!!
It was time for a change,
Ian
