My new GTC roadster






Im very happy with my new car... the sound is amazing and the color spectacular,and the beautiful exterior carbon fiver adds prestige to his look ,my only complain it's the seats are a little to hard and than I need to wait to reach 1000 miles for the break-in period.
besides that this car is beyond my expectations
I read in the book that I need to drive it in C mode for the first 1000 miles.somebody knows if its that true?

Yes thanks! it's an incredible sensation! I feel very lucky, it's the car of my dreams.
the only bad thing is that I get a little paranoid when I need to park it outside

Beautiful Car. From one C roadster owner to another: the more you drive it the more the grin settles in as a permanent part of your face!

thanks ! Well I ordered mine like three months ago at my dealership where I bought my old Mercedes, I customized it exactly as I wanted but every month that passed I called to ask for the car and they did not even placed the order in Germany.So I started searching on my own on the web and found the one i liked but it was out of my city, so i contacted them and they told me that the car was available to sale ,so we closed the deal by phone the same day and they sent me the car by truck two days later

seems like a common ploy. I waited3-4 months before they got an allocation. The process took 7 months and they finally delivered it during a snow storm. I refused delivery until the streets were clear

Yes dealership waiting for allocations and stringing you along is a common ploy nowadays.
