Hi Bobar,
I sold my Plus 4 last year and replaced it with a Merc 200 SLK AMG.
It has the 7 speed auto box but it has sport mode (blips throttle on downchanges!) and manual plus flappy paddles.
Being AMG variant it has lowered sports suspension giving a nice firm ride.
So far I have not missed the Plus 4 (apart from all the problems I had with it) and am really enjoying driving the SLK.
There are plenty of good alternatives out there, I went for the SLK because of its looks, auto box, solid roof and build quality, it was 2 years old with 12000 miles and half the price of the Plus 4, it's quicker, better on fuel, cheaper to insure, cheaper to service and having a boot it's useable on touring holidays.
Have fun looking for your replacement.
Ian
