 I have had multiple BMWs and an Audi, but nothing performs like this car.The acceleration (and exhaust sound) and handling is awesome.If you can hang on, no corner is too fast. I put Michelin PS2s on and the handling (and red smoothness) is even better.I have 23k miles on mine and not a problem. I have finally found a car that drives/performs as well as it looks.I just hope MB is still making these when I replace this one!
