Since we are talking about older M-B's...

Here are two from my garage.  I have had them both since they were practically new. 


The CLK55 had 6,000 miles on it, and the E55 had 5,000 miles on it.

They are both teenagers now.  LOL  And I still love them both dearly.

All the best...  HEO

youtu.be I tried my friends E55 on several occasions and was always amazed, even on the track a 911 Turbo had difficulties overtaking me.

I'm sure that the Turbo driver was not able to match your skill...

The E55 is great in a straight line or on the Autobahn. Personally I don't like it in the curves.

There's a bit of dive under braking. Significant body lean in the curves. Steering doesn't have a lot of feel. Brake pedal feel is artificial (computerized braking system). Transmission only has 5 speeds and the gear ratios are very far apart. It's geared...

 By: patrick_y : March 1st, 2020-21:41
Model 3 is a fun car. Soul-less, but fun. Braking is much better than Model S, steering more direct ratio and even tighter steering rack BUT NO FEEL in the steering at all, pedal placement is still bad (hinged up, not hinged on the floor), otherwise good ...
