Looks pretty good to me, not seen many but there was one at the PL meet at Hilltop a couple of years ago and it was a good compromise I thought

It seems to be one of those models which looks better in the metal as it were. I like them.

Has been a thing of serious consideration in our house. Though not the AMG version, as we probably wouldn't be allowed a tow bar...

I've got one - and I love it to bits. And folk are right - it does look better in the metal than on paper. Its a joy to drive, I got enough decorating stuff in the back to redecorate an entire 3 bed apartment, fix shelves, sort electrics - so can be a workhorse as well as a bunch of laughs to drive! Motorway cruising is pretty effortless too - 500 mile round trip yesterday in awful weather, Wirral to Newcastle with a 4 am start - pick up relatives from cruise ship, drive back - really nice stable drive. Cruise control is my friend these days - inadvertently allowing weight to rest on the right pedal sees the speed creep slowly up and up - without any indication in the cabin - other than the dashboard which I mostly ignore. Cruise control lets me amble along at 79 on the dash.... (2mph error, plus 2mph police allowance, plus the 10% allowance)..........

Loving my derv version with that gorgeous AMG lump under the bonnet and it’s sound would be amazing but when looking at up to 40k miles a year I simply couldn’t justify it
