This beast is a blast. 308HP, 0-60 in
5.8, & almost .9 Gs in the skidpad
means nothing until you've had it
through mtn curves or on the open rd.
130 feels like 60. Had the car for a
yr and in the shop monthly. Small
things usually. But, when it rains
real hard and water pours in through
the AC/heating vents shorting out
motors & sensors, leaving 3" of
standing water in the floorboard,,
costing $7K it's time for something
more reasonable. Don't know what it is
with German cars. Great fun to drive
but totally unreliable. If you have
the time and $ to keep taking this car
to the dealer, by all means, indulge
yourself. I probably would.

Unbelievable car - not bad off the line but when rolling on the highway , wow! The torque is unbelievable , 50mph to 70mph is like 3 seconds.You can get in or out of any kind of trouble you want with this vehicle.It is imperative that you stay up on the maintenance of this lady.

This car is mean and thrives on the
highway. Interior gets endless
comments. Fun to modify aswell.

I have owned this car for a year and 1 month. It is awesome. The car is light weight so it handles beautifully. And also a light weight car, coupled with an AMG tuned big 4.3L V8 engine = a pretty fast car. At higher speeds it feels poised and at ease. My car has 156,000 miles on it. So far, the car is very reliable and I have only had to do basic upkeep work on it. Nothing major. I have replaced the mass airflow sensor, evaporator temperature sensor, and my O2 sensors. So all in all, that's under $500 in repairs.
