for me it was
1) Value: price to that you get
2) looks: timeless design, styling, long history, good marque/brand
3) straight line speed
4) convertible (I don't really like convertibles, but wanted to have at least one for the perfect summer days and the R230 was a nice hardtop that fit this requirement)
5) comfort: if I cared about this a lot I would get a old school caddy, no not a ctsv...
6) cornering abilty: have a race car, my touring car is perfect when I want something that handles extremely well...and on a circuit it's the perfect place for it. No need for cornering shenanigans on the street...

I am amazed how many like comfort, but then, coming home from visiting
a friend in hospital the other night, it was about 11 pm.
The main freeway was absolutely empty, and the stretch before my turn off
about 4 miles long. I got up to about 135 and just cruised:bow. It was very civilized quiet, could hear the radio, smooth felt like 80mph. Now you know what you pay for, oh those lucky Germans who can do that legally.
