    AMG - smooth and very powerful. Comfortable seats but weird to use seat controls on the door. Turn signal switch also a little low so I keep hitting the cruise control switch when I want to turn. Very fun to drive and exciting when unleashing 500hp.

    Great White Shark — Somehow it has an expensive and rough look to it, interior is beautiful , makes the beamer look cheap. Adding a spolier makes the look. beautiful lines surround the car and it shouts luxury. Air matic suspension seems to be the deal breaker for Mercedes it seems to always break once in 5 years either the pump or the sensors , my advice change both when one dies off it will be cheaper. Fit and Finish is perfect. German muscle at its best.

    Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

    Pros: head turner, power, comfort, luxury. turn radius. AIRMATIC, ride comfort. great brakes, throaty V8 gd accelaration-SAFE

    Cons: fuel., maintainence is expensive, lacks road feel, too much power steering, elctronics are weird, dated navi and standard features are lacking next to a bmw. BLIND SPOT GALORE

    Luxury — This vehicle is beautiful to look at and is very powerful. Makes heads turn. Can tell car is built well while driving top speed. Has several features and performs well. Very roomy, comfortable, and sporty. Can go around who ever you want to when you need to!

    Primary Use: Commuting to work

    Pros: Power, Speed, Control

    Cons: Really none

    A Four Door Sedan That Will Make A 911 Carerra S Pee! — It's an amazing car. 507 HP and 0-60 anywhere from 3.8 to 4.1. It is very roomy and it always gets looks. I have had more people comment on this vs my Carerra S. It's a family car that has big balls

    Primary Use: Commuting to work

    Pros: So fast... Feels like a tank strapped to a fighter jet!

    Cons: Nothing really

    Cls — The CLS is massively reassuring to drive, with enormous amounts of grip and powerful, progressive brakes. The diesel engine packs 398lb ft of torque and offers serious mid-range grunt. It's also a head turner and shows that Mercedes can do exciting as well as conservative.

    Primary Use: Commuting to work

    Pros: Styling, comfort, performance

    Cons: 4 seater only

    Impressive — Feels good to get behind the wheel and take it for a spin. Have had problems with the sunroof not closing on its own. But other than that, handles and looks great. As soon as I can afford it, I am getting a newer CLS550 model.

    Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

    Pros: Looks great, drives great

    Cons: Can't afford a newer one
