Very nice mate, as previously said by someone else, not too keen on the wheels but they can be changed easy enough.

Ive driven alot of cars over the years which drive better than a saff. My donkey Ford Puma handles better than my saff.

Im not saying it doesnt perform well it just doesnt look a nice car to me.

I do like the idea of these but you'd do well to tell one apart from a diesel model apart from the badges. I've seen a few on the road and it's literally like, is it.. (wait til it goes past) A45 AMG.. yep. Maybe that's a good thing, but a little part of me would want something a bit more conspicuous for the money they cost.

Nice car, I've driven one and it goes very well and they sound nice. I found the driving position a little strange though but that's because I'm quite tall I think.

One of my customers had it lasted 6 months gave it back biggest piece of shit he said he'd owned so many design faults and engine and other problems... I'd watch yourself as Mercedes-Benz tried to. Force him to keep it in the end when he involved his solicitors they gave him every penny back he now has a BMW...

fair play if that's what floats your boat, but its not my cup of tea to look at.
The wheels look like Momo Arrows!
