The BMW is the greatest driving experience for those who can't afford a porsche or ultra high performance car. Mine is old, paid for and sits in the garage. The Benz is actaully not that great of a ride (CLK 320). However, I won't get rid of it because I get 34 MPG on the highway which is phenominal for a 3.2 liter engine. ...and I'm not such a bad guy  |
