Thanks, only done about 300 miles so far & taking it easy until 1000 miles. The exhaust note is quieter than I expected but there is more than enough grunt. Coming from my SLK350 (R172) it is a lot more spacious and luxurious but the driving feel is similar.

Very happy so far!

Picture is in the Scottish Highlands during our 700 mile run. Very happy with the active suspension. Curve tilt is interesting on twisty roads, I'm not yet sure if i love it on tight bends but it is nice on long sweepers., The feature I like most so far, is the ability to raise the body 2" when parking at kerbs and going over speed humps etc.

The exhaust sound is decidedly more sporty in Sport+ mode with lots of crackles and pops. Downshifting by the automatic (in S and S+) is lovely and it always seems to be in the right gear entering a bend. Massage is also nice during a long stint and the active side bolsters are nice for keeping you from sliding around and staying comfortable.

Don't normally like white cars. But that does look rather nice.

This modern pearlescent white is very attractive I do think.

Nice one!

It will be interesting to swop notes. Mine is a 2015 model so I will be interested to see the difference in yours. It seems well specced.

 

[John Laidlaw]

Just lovely

Mine's just pre-facelift and little driven so far, planning a Scottish trip (if we are still allowed in) in September. But I have a rattle....only with the roof up and disappears completely when the roof is down. I am assuming something in the roof system must be slack when the roof is up and tensioned when the roof is down. Any similar experience?

Stunning.
