its a bit different from an ibiza?

very nice though!
the AMG sound is superb, they shake the groung when they pass!

bet its a bit thirstier than your ibiza

not my cup of tea looks wise but hell does it not shift, glad you are happy mate, bit of a stealthy weapon, few surprises at the lights i bet.

 

[cupra_matt]

Very tasty, but not i what i would expect a Ibiza driver to go for.

 

[karl.w]

i know what you mean but i just fancied something completely different. I have always had turbo'd cars and just wanted a big N/A v8. As soon as i drove the merc that was it sold total silence and comfort when cruising and when you plant it the power and noise is unbelievable

The spec in the link say's "Displacement, cc 3996 " ????????

 

[jedi knight]

Not my cup of tea but each to their own I guess. What kind of price was it?

Are you planning on becoming a chuffer? , Certinatly not the car id be looking for but there again im 24, and assume your abit older? ts certinatly differant, but the power is

Good luck with it.

it is an old mans car! and I'm only 26 but old men have been there and done it all and settled for cars like this, and after driving it i can see why

[Roelích]

point taken

its ok, but not my sort of thing. But i do like watching the barges go up the thames so maybe i will like it after a while.

I don't envy the service repair costs or even worse the fuel costs though.

 

[Saul]

ive seen these come up cheap before, was tempted but after talking to RobT i think a set of discs is about £1k, so that put me off!

 

[karl.w]

running costs and parts are stupidly dear but its the same with all amg's.

 

[karl.w]

and how many mpg do you get may i ask lol looks clean tho

15mpg around town
about 28mpg on a long run
and an average of 20-23mpg ish.

forget to say its only done 47,000 miles from new

 

[cordobabrendy]

slight upgrade there karl!
I take it youre not going to hold onto it for too long, you'll just get used to the power and the direct debit you'll need to set up for fuel.

 

[karl.w]

no im planning to keep it. Its not the easiest car to sell anyway
But the fuel is shocking around the town anyway. £10 only gets me 35-40 miles
