my dad has an amg e55. he says its the best car he's ever owned. very smooth car to drive, and with 480bhp and 515lb ft it goes really well and pulls like a train. can do 0-155-0 in less than a mile.

taken a drop due to the cls 55 so bargains about 35k

In a straight line they're ballistic (Harvey has a dersticted SL55 AMG, and he has seen the double tonne on GPS ), not really a car for hussling round twisty roads though....

I was suprised at how much they still are!! For some reason I think of it as an old shape and thus an old car, but obviously there not.

Have driven one but preferred an Audi RS6.

Great car tho, just liked the feel of the Audi over the Merc. The Merc was very quiet and very fast but is something you waft along in but make great progress. Not one for overloading the senses.

All that said, its a better looker than the RS6, IMHO.
