It’s silver with black interior, so it’s a “no from me

 

[davidsl500]

He did say SSorry

 

[JBell]

Buy it, they have even gone to the trouble of de-badging it for you

 

[A.J.]

Just the colour combination really, mainly the black interior . BUT, great spec and I do love the CLS. It took me over six months to find the Brilliant blue with Alpaca trim on mine. but well worth the wait

 

[LostKiwi]

It's a diesel.
It's missing 2 cylinders.

That enough?

 

[Wighty]

It’s lovely , good step up in class .

 

[V6Matty]

Not that great of a spec looking at it,

A blue one

 

[Gazwould]

No privacy glass , with the greenhouse effect that black leather interior will get hot .

Iridium silver is a bit boring .

It's not an easy combination to avoid, I had my dealer searching new stock UK wide last July, even went through what was waiting dockside in Bremerhaven, to try to find a C300 AMG with a light coloured interior, and there just weren't any around, Mercedes must have been having shortages with lighter coloured leather. Also, mine not only has black leather, but it's also Iridium silver, not much choice in that area either, but at least I managed to avoid one of my most disliked features, "privacy" glass, really, I hate it.

About four years ago, we spent a couple of weeks touring the south of France in my then E250, very hot, but not uncomfortably so in the car. Premium plus, but the heat really was oppressive with the roof open, so we had to rely on the climate control, which coped admirably. The heat didn't half hit you when you got out of the car though.

OK, so I'm a bit of a snob, but my main worry with that car would be the risk of having "Ssangyong" in small letters along the bottom of the number plates.

Apologies to any Ssangyong owners reading this.

What has it not got?

No pan roof, no distronic or active lane assist, no airmatic, doesn’t have the larger screen for comand, not intelligent lighting just high beem assist, not dynamic seats just electric and heated.
Not a bad spec but lost if things I’d say would make it a cars I’d want to buy, oh and missing 2 cylinders too as @Blobcat said

That was @LostKiwi, I’m against silver and black

Mercedes only have issues finding other colour leather for the UK market

MB have problems with UK market paint colours as well, my dealer told me that something like 50% of available new RHD C300s were black, another pet hate of mine. Iridium is just a bit boring, but there weren't many alternatives.
