My uncle had one of these when his Jeep was in, was well impressed with the performance, it may have been his ropey driving that made it seem more exhilarating. It was the SLK 320 based one.

Is that the faster one ?

A depreciation disaster but unimportant if you hang on to it and you won't see many others. An off the wall choice. Hope you got a good discount.

Don't like them myself. Handling is supposed to be rubbish, as it's based on the old SLK chassis, that was slated for being sh1te.

But, like you say, not to everyones taste. If you like it, that's all that matters though.

Hope you enjoy it.

I think these cars offer something the SLK didn't though, the 'what the hell was that?' factor. Never driven one so can't comment on the handling but it is reputed to be better than an SLK.

Old C32 AMG would hit 60 in 4.6secs, so same engine and transmission in a slightly smaller car........

No way will the Crossfire do 0-60 in less than 6 secs. Evo Mag gave it an absolute slating also. I know i's not all about speed, but it certianly isn't a quick drivers car.
