Love it. Congrats. You should get a hitch and bike rack for it  ;D


Gorgeous, and perfect spec. Such a good daily. I spent some time in the pre-facelift W205 C43 sedan and came away impressed. It's every bit as quick as you could need in a DD, the noise is amazing, and it's priced fairly reasonably compared to the "full bore" AMG models.

Did I mention yet you need to get the Golf R wagon here?  ;D

YES PLEASE .... though then I'd have to put my money where my mouth is and buy it  :-\...


A few of us have Sportwagens.
2019 4motion Sportwagen.


Tortoise as well.

Oliver has that lovely 328 wagon. 2012 maybe?

Yes, so me, tortoise, careener, and factger for golf wagons I think. Maybe one more I'm forgetting.

I'm glad we're a true car forum with wagons galore  ;D

But how many are 1) manual 2)brown  3)AWD ?   ;)

and 4) diesel?

Nice!

How do you find the shoulder width / b pillar? I remember sitting in a few AMGs at the last car show, and the b pillar seems to be more forward than in other cars for some reason.

You have to remember he had a Camaro before this so visibility is going to be improved in any vehicle he gets now.

I found sport + much better than sport. It was better calibrated to how I wanted to drive.

Is the steering wheel Dynamica covered? Was that an option?

Looking forward to the 1 week update. Things you love, things you miss, things you wonder why they did that. Also, you may not care about f/e but curious what you are getting on trips to the ski hill.

Edit- the infotainment not being touchscreen would be one thing. It’s fine but certainly works better with things like CarPlay

Bonus is no fingerprints on the screen.

Dunno how good the MB controller is but my JCW was one of the first Minis with a touchscreen and I literally never used it. I felt the iDrive controller was much more intuitive to use and closer at hand.

good call on the ceramic coat.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

I would have taken a better picture but it's cloudy and I wanted to get it home in case it rained lol.

Got the same one as I did on the Camaro - GTECHNIQ

I bought some of that recently, can't wait to try it out. Getting the truck wrapped first. Then I'll do both vehicles with it.
