Took delivery of our 180cdi AMG SPORT last Friday. My wife was presented with a bunch of flowers - nice! However the fuel light came on during the 5 mile drive back home - not so nice!!
We both really like the car and have done a good few miles this weekend.
We like the ride, we were concerned about all the 'rock-hard' reviews but the car is not overly harsh whatever the surface;
We like the quietness, it really is very quiet inside even at 80mph;
We like the sunroof and have actually hardly used the air-con at all! The wind deflector and electric blind are very effective too in preventing draughts;
Styling is superb and gets lots of looks;
USB - Have put entire iTunes on 64GB Stick and works a treat, saves problem of which iPone to connect to when we have 2 iPhones in the car
Reversing camera is brilliant - guides you depending on wheel position - quite superb!
However....
The mpg is dire as yet (but know it will improve with miles!) were only getting 43mpg (we get 38mpg from our 2004 S320!!!)
When the tank is near empty you can hear the fuel slopping round in the tank!
The Audio20 does not reduce volume significantly when the Becker is making announcements!
The seats are OK and initially feel very comfortably but after 100 miles+ we both found ourselves fidgeting about a bit trying to get comfy, not sure I would like to travel length and breadth of UK in it!!
All in all very pleased and sure it will bring quite a few reliable and economical years motoring... We will see
