What about these?

[yankeesiter]

I've decided that I probably do really need a car with an extra 2 seats but would also like one that looks unique / nice and performs reasonably well and doesn't cost a fortune ie. <£15k.

 

The two I'm looking at are:

Any thoughts welcome

I love the Infiniti, best of both worlds.

DCY have a pretty good reputation too

Been considering the CLK sport as the next car myself - does that one come with paddle shift controls?

 

Nice diesel engine, 4 seats, auto box, luxury of mb, only negative is in my eyes its becoming a little dated (but then again the said could be said about the z)

Get the G35 and use the £6k saved on the merc to Supercharge it. Job done.

Infiniti for wow factor,as there are lots of mercs about.

I had some woman in a CLK pull straight out in front of me on my motorbike once. I had a very close look at the driver side rear of her car as I flew over the top of it superman style. My bike was virtually written off, but the only damage to her CLK was a small pencil line scratch about 4 inches long above the rear wheel!

The Mercedes 320CDI engine is superb.

 

Paddles????? Pfffffft. Full auto all the time! I once tried to drive my Dads S Class (2009 or 2010 320CDI) with the paddles and it was rubbish. There is so much torque and it's so smooth it was better in full Auto.

 

I'd go for a CLK500 or a 55AMG if you want petrol but the diesel will do everything you want it to.

 

 

 

I love the G35. At half the price I'd buy it to be honest. Stick the rest in the bank for the next car.

My mums husband had a CLK 320 (similar year),and the build quality on it was poor to say the least. The power adjustment for the steering wheel broke,and was going to cost £2k to replace,and compared to my mums mk1 SLK,the touch and feel of everything was noticeably a step down. As said,if you can live with the petrol over the diesel,then get the G35.
