personally i can't stand wood or cream leather, but actually that does look stunning.

Wow. That is a beautiful interior. Damn.

Brave colour choice for the kids. I could never get such light leather as I just CBA cleaning it.

The interior looks lovely, but I have to say that the quality on some of the plastics is quite poor. Particularly the bottom lip of the wood trim. Also, wheels to small

Looks lush though - enjoy the free brolly!

Looks a load better than my mates new C Class inside.

I always hated Merc interiors until I tried that generation of E-Class. They really stepped up and made something that is just a lovely place to be. I still don't understand the duplication of controls though (the bridge thing and the wheel below seem to do the same things).

Also, wheels are probably a sensible size so as to offer decent ride quality

Fixed

Aesthetically the current gen Mercedes interiors are better. Too bad the infotainment sucks

happens with most of my cars, must be the soap I use.

Something something spacers something something riding too high.

grudas · 21 Mar 2018 at 23:47

@Acme neh, no need for spacers. Will get fatter rubber some day, what spec was on your leaky mk1?

I'm thinking 205/50/15 maybe r888s

Akagi · 22 Mar 2018 at 00:22

Leaky is being too kind to it. It was worse than leaky.

And I can't remember...

I do however, remember that a Torsen LSD + AD08R's on the front + ThreeA ditchfinders on the back = ahem sensible driving officer.

Haha, see, I wonder if ad08rs would kill a bit of fun?! I want wider rubber as I'm looking for "track" stance but not sure which tyres I'll end up with.

Yeah of course.

Hardly any snow in the Brecon Beacons now. So was able to experience the R888R tyre!

Really? I don't mind it... almost as good as BMW... a world apart from the bad systems.

Better than 595RSR's? If you've used those ever?

Apparently this year/late last year they updated the system and it's better?
Certainly early last year I tried an S class system and it was crap to use even compared to old gen audi MMI. Once the nav etc is set up though I can't see it being a massive issue, or use android auto/apple craplay
