Hi Alistair
About 6 months ago I decided that driving around in a Renault Megane RS really wasn’t right for a man of my calibre
So I sold it together with my treasured V12 Vantage Manual and set out looking for an early car to basically use as a daily, rag it around and just enjoy driving something sweet every day.
I found one at an MB Dealer. At 2017 GTS with 38k miles. It meant it came with full Mercedes history and a two year warranty.
At this stage, I should note that I also own an SLS which I’ve had for 13 years.
The GTS is by no means comparable to the SLS to my mind but it is nevertheless a superb car. It’s relatively low on maintenance cost too.
It emits the most incredible noise from its tailpipes, crackles and pops on over run in sport and sport plus. The gearbox is razor sharp with a very quick change. Suspension is fully adjustable, but I do tend to drive it in the softest mode which some would say is still quite firm but it suits the car..
All in all, 6 months and I am extremely happy with it, does everything you’d expect it to do with major grin factor.
Having done a bit of homework before hand, it seemed there were very few issues with these cars mechanically
Have fun with your search, I’m sure you won’t regret it .
