Changed my Saab 9.3 convertible for a C class. It's my Christmas present to myself. How pleased am I?

She didn't need much persuading. The Saab electronics were throwing up loads of errors and bits of plastic bodywork were detaching themselves. You can tell I'm made up because I washed it when I got it home!

Only with the appropriate winter tyres. Summer tyres on a 4 wheel drive are just as useless as on a two wheel drive in snow.

Hi and welcome. I also came from Saab (back) to Mercedes. My Saab was a 9-3 2.0t mapped, re-turboed and fitted with Aero injectors pushing 275bhp. Quick but too fragile....

Welcome Ed

‘Intelligent’ 4wd, yes?!
As long as it's more intelligent than me, that's a bonus.

Thanks for all your welcomes!
