SL question
I should start by saying the the SL is the single coolest car I have owned. To have a glass roofed hardtop that drops for open air driving is the best thing since sliced bread!
I recently bought an gorgeous Aston Martin DBS with manual 6sp. Stunning car but not as useful as the SL. I have had SL55amg, SL63amg in both 2013 and 2017.
Now I am thinking 2009 sl63 or 2011-12 SL550. I like the look of the facelift cars and feel like it would be a good fit.
I know disadvantages would be they are heavier, get a bit worse fuel economy. Are there other issues I should watch out for?
thanks
