Nice. What model, 520d? How do you find it compared to the 4?

Yeah just a 520D.
Had a couple of 5s before the 4 so it's good to be back.
Found the 4 quite small inside.
5 is more spacious, nicer interior (I'm into gadgets and electronics), I find it nicer to drive but that's a personal preference.
Back window visibility out of the 4 was brutal!!
All in I find it a nicer drive for day to day.

Non existant more like. Does the 5 have the auto talegate? My favourite feature on our one.

Is the back window visibility better or the same in the coupe as opposed to the GC?

I only drove a 2 door once and can't recall it being too bad.

No, it's an option I think, but not on the one I bought, it's a 191 so someone else got to decide on the extras.

Worse in the GC from what I heard but I have kids so never test drove the coupe.

Was trying to get either garnet red or misano red. Delighted with the garnet red as its a little big lighter in colour.

I see an avant in that colour around my way regularly, hats off for not going the black, grey or white route.

Certainly wouldn't have gone black grey or white. I was looking with a friend at a lovely A5 in Sepang Blue. Now there is a cracking colour.

Find it grand in mine but I came from 2 door coupes so used to limited visibility. Rear camera is good and mirrors are good so rear visibility is fine for me

Another one ticked off my automotive bucket list, a lot of time being spent getting rid of the tired oxidized paintwork, few other small jobs to be done. She’s on LPG too, rocking around @ .69 cent a liter.

That's a beautiful Merc!

@Peasant - how is the Ignis working out for you?????.

Working out really well, still very happy with it.
Recently changed jobs and now get to do 70 km a day over the narrowest and bendiest country roads imaginable...it's perfect for those conditions, especially with the 4WD, you can actually boot it if you want.

Fuel consumption has gone down from 5.8l/100 km on short trips to 5.3 on the longer trips now. Nothing has gone wrong with it yet and the first dealer service cost me a grand total of 172 Euro

Everything is positive about it...too much to list, but I do have a few very minor niggles (nothing is perfect)

Reverse gear isn't synchronised (cost saving I guess) and every now and then reverse will only go in with a nasty scraping sound or on the second try.

Auto lights are very sensitive and come on at the slightest dimming of the surroundings (bridges, some trees, etc) and at this time of year I have to switch full lights on or people think I'm flashing them.
Furthermore, instrument lights are on a different sensor. They darken from full brightness once full lights come on (night setting) but then realise that it isn't completely dark yet and get bright again..bit of disco on the dashboard.

Switching the radio/infotainment to off is a bit of a faff and takes several steps...there is no off button

Other than that...for my purposes...so far one of the best cars I've had (considering price and running costs and all that). I still approach it with a smile and like driving it.

Finally after 2.5 years I did something with the Skyline... Genuine GTR front on, along with my wheels and then mocked up the rear quarters and doors

I'm still alive, and so is the 607. Approaching 260k miles and climbing! Climbing a mountain below actually and taking a photo in the same spot for many years prior

Had a bit of a boo boo with the gearbox which meant I was in the Z for a week, what a fun week that was... Caused by ZF and their bullsh*t filter location :rolleyes:

Replacement box in and hasn't missed a beat. I'll get round to refurbishing the other one someday

Is the filthy Avensis gone?

Daylight pics as promised. I’m really liking this 6.2L V8. There is a really responsive 10 speed auto in it too.
I wonder can I bring it home :cool:

I wouldn't, you cannot own nice cars like here. Other than the government wanting your first born in various taxes, you would have this idiots from extinction rebellion protesting on your roof because it's not a Nissan Leaf and that clown Eamon Ryan claiming you could share your car with 30 other strangers.

Just handed the keys to the Camaro 2SS back . It is such a nice car and not just for an American car. It may not have quite the premium materials of an European car but it **** loads cheaper for what your getting. The engine is obviously great but I was really surprised by the auto box it was really smooth and managed to make its mind up quickly. It was nearly as quick as a dual clutch in manual too.

Anyway at least I get my hands back on my diesel Mondeo tomorrow :rolleyes:

Edit: one thing that was a bit annoying was it was quite hard to see out of in traffic or narrower roads. It made it feel very big. The one I had had a rear view camera as a rear view mirror and blind spot monitoring which made things a bit easier though.

That E-class is beautiful, nice to see someone buying a modern car with a proper sized engine as well - especially petrol. I love sleepers, I'd never have guessed it's actually an AMG, and it's all the better for that!
