SL/R232 MPG

Whiplash55 — Sun, 17 May 2026 16:42:33 GMT

My 2022 SL 55 has 14/21 mpg as per the manufacturer. Mine gets much less than that, and I�m hardly an aggressive driver. To anyone that tracks such things, what has been your experience?

SL/R232 0dd Seat back adjustment when positioning

Neptune36 — Sat, 09 May 2026 22:14:34 GMT

New to me SL55. Trying to get more leg room but as I position back the seat to where I get desired leg room, the seat back leans forward. So now I have leg room but now I'm leaning forward. I'm thinking maybe some code decision to ensure rear "seat" room exists if driver moves his seat back too far?? I set the auto seat positioning to 7'3" and helps a little but not enough. Is there a defeat of this position conflict? Keep seat back comfortably reclined while maxing out rear postion?

SL/R232 A and B Service Costs

Frenetic — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 23:28:02 GMT

Anyone care to share their �A� and �B� service costs? I ordered a GT 55 and I�m just trying to see if prepaid maintenance is worth it. I asked the same question in that forum but I se cars are similar. Thanks.

This was provided by someone else for their C43! Wild. I always assumed the �A� and �B� service costs were semi-consistent from dealer to dealer based solely on the semi-fixed prepaid maintenance cost, but I don�t think that is the case.

SL/R232 2027 Changes?

lkfoster — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 17:41:28 GMT

I keep seeing about the new M177 EVO flat plane crank engine coming in the 2027 S and GLS' but no chatter about the R and C192s. Kind of curious as we have a 2027 SL55 on order with a June build date.
