So happy I'm back with Mercedes

So i had a 2006 CLS and a 2010 CLS. Loved them both, fantastic handling and a turning radius that was just sick! and I loved the visibility too. But- after selling my Company, I decided that getting new car every 3-4 years was a bad idea as my Company would no longer be paying for it. So in 2017 I started looking for a low mileage CLS CPO- and there were plenty- including my colors of choice (not black on black like so many here in So. Cal- so boring!) A year later when I was ready- NONE! Like hardly any!! SO I got a CPO with 7,000 miles on it from BMW, a 650I at a 35% discount off sticker... couldn't pass that up.. BUT, I ended up hating the hard ride, the high maintenance of a super performance sports car (Had to keep a quart oil and a pint of coolant in the trunk- a 50-50 mix of OEM coolant and distilled water.... REALLY???) , and the visibility sucked! So I jut got a new 2021 CLS 450 and LOVE IT!! Great ride, lots of visibility, and the MBUX system is finally what it should be! In additon, the rear sway on thr BMW was not as tight as the CLS- in fact, the CLS handling is far superior. I love driving this car!




Mercedes forever now!

Congrats! I love the color inside/out and the rims fit it nicely. Also, what wood trim is that? Looks great.

Enjoy!

Hi- thanks for he comments! The drive is similar- a little less power but not too noticeable- only 20 HP difference. Otherwise, just a smooth and tight as I remember.. I just love it!
