Have owned for about 8 months in Alaska so have only put on 3000 mi. Had to purchase winter studkess tires due to the original HP tires were not for winter driving.The winter tires have done the trick, the car handles very well with just the rear wheel drive due to the Positive Stability system. It is a fun Car with all the "Klass" you could ask for. Not exactly fast, but Quick enough & Smooth as Silk.
Fun to Drive

Traded my 4.0 S type Jag for this little roadster. That is for the wife. I'm 6'1 and I'm comfortable in the car. It's a fun car to drive! Fast, nimble, and great gas mileage. I have not had any problems with my hard top roof thus far. Fun to drive in the mountains of Norh Carolina with the top down. Haven't had any real issues with the car, mechanical or otherwise. My wife spilled coffee in the Triptronic shifter. $500 to get it fixed. Kind of a weird place to have a drink holder which sits towering above the gear shift lever in this car. I can be doing 100mph in the car and really not know it. Rides like a champ, and road noise is not as bad as I thought with the top up.

Thinking I was buying a Mercedes "quality" product, I found some discouraging problems with mine. First, I got stuck with the hard top stuck in the trunk, and had to drive it to the dealership to get it fixed. After they fixed it, I found that they scratched the roof while bringing the top up. Then the whole computer system broke down, and I was only able to drive my car 25 mph until I could get it home. I have also found that the inside of the car is peeling on the center console, and the leather on my steering wheel is coming off. Please keep in mind that I bought this car brand new, and it still has 25000 miles of warranty left.

This has been a very reliable car. Very comfortable on trips with good lumbar support and excellent gas mileage. Actually got 33 mpg on one trip! Problems have been minor except for the catalytic converter, which was replaced under warranty by the dealer. This car has 80,000 miles on it and it will still get up and go and will stop on a dime!
