I like it...it is a little laggy but I live in NYC and use is about 1000 miles a year....today in the rain it was sliding around a little bit. I miss the 4 wheel steering & awd more than the HP.

I see, it shouldn't have much if any turbo lag for example, does it only happen in comfort mode or slippery mode?

That is strange, from forum members' on the W206 C 43 post, the turbo lag is imperceivable. That car as you know shares the same engine as you although more horsepower. I guess it would had make sense because it has an eturbo. I am guessing there are no drive issues right, full power, no limp mode?

correct, car works great but the power is delayed versus what you may expect for a 120k car.

Wait hold on, do you experience the same behaviour on the previous SL 43, if so might indeed be normal for this vehicle.

Oh, I thought you took delivery, will be interesting if you no longer have this lag issue, hopefully.

Forgot to ask out of curiosity, I know you like the R232 SL but why replace it every other year or every year? Are you leasing or you just want a new car every year or other year even though it is essentially the same car?

leasing and turning in early for cheaper monthly prices....

23 and 24 SL43 are basically the same but the 2025 FYI has more HP!

Interesting thing about cheaper monthly, that is certainly good to have.
