ATTAK Z Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Anyone know anything about these ? I'm looking to swap the Merc for one ... Any comments good or bad welcomed ... Quote
WhackyWill Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 I had a 2007, great car, heavy on fuel around town, which one are you looking at .?. Done about 20k in it only servicing and brake pads and discs replaced and new tyres, central locking decoded itself cost £120 to have the keys decoded, that's about all. Prefer it to my X5, Quote

ATTAK Z Posted June 7, 2013 Author Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) Immense road presence High I am not going to insult your intelligence by mentioning fuel costs I'm thinking change the Arosa for a Saab (convertible) for a daily driver and the Rangie would replace the Merc to become become the 'posh' car ... would still have the wifey's Polo for coming back from the pub lol ... and we have an ex Saab dealer in the village which still services Saabs so that makes sense too Edited June 7, 2013 by ATTAK Z 1 Quote

rtbiscuit Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 From memory its the same engine that's in my jag, but the range is twice the weight, so expect single figure low teens mpg Quote
ATTAK Z Posted June 7, 2013 Author Posted June 7, 2013 Have you got figures for your mpg Rich ? Quote
rtbiscuit Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Between 16 and 25 mpg depending on if its town or distance driving. But I do have a bigger lower pulley and more power. I would guess the rr would be about 13-25mpg Quote
ATTAK Z Posted June 7, 2013 Author Posted June 7, 2013 What happened to the 355???????????????? The Merc got better and the Clive (the place I buy my cars) put me into an SL 500 instead of the Ferrari ... and I like the CLK design more than the SL ... so that little diversion ended PS I bet that doesn't make sense Quote
Sarnie Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 You lost me as soon as you said you chose a Merc over a 355......... Quote

I would guess the rr would be about 13-25mpg My Range Rover Sport in London..I was getting between 11 to maybe 12.5 on a good day, sometimes I have seen 9 MPG... Quote
