Immediately took it on a work trip from Denver to Rapid City (via the Black Hills), and back by way of the twisty road through Rushmore National Forest.
This is, without doubt, the best car I have ever driven. Traded in a Z4.
I have an injured back, hip, and knee, and have never found a car as comfortable as this. Seat heat to act as a heating pad, the massage function of the seat, and the range of adjustment are all phenomenal.
Also, Wyoming just upped the limit on I-25 to 80mph
As an aside, I must say: I have wanted an SL for 30 years.
And I truly think the R230 is the most beautiful design MB has put out since the R107 was penned 45 years ago.
My only regrets are;
1) That it took so long to get one, and
2) that my 230 is already eight years old, and I don't know how long it will be able to be my daily driver. I fear that in 6 or 7 years, it will have to be retired, and there won't be anything to replace it with.
