Cheers for the positive comments guys
5 days in...
The black alloys show a lot more dirt than conventional silver versions.
The car really does feel big car like and is surefooted in all scenarios except mid to large potholes. The 45 profile rubber bands contribute greatly to this. (We drive a Land Rover Discovery 3 as the other car so cant help comparing - but the little 500 does very very well)
Road noise is extremely low for such as small and thin lump of stuff.
The headlight washers are very effective actually, the car is 5 days old and extremely dirty from the country lanes - except that is from the headlights and a nike esque swoosh down each side where the overspray from the washers has gone.
Current consumption in its first 400 miles - just 43.5mpg but we expected that from other posts on here.
Dualogic is great. Paddles also work in auto mode.
The black roof is real special, very nice metal fleck in it. You get black A pillars and roof lining too reminiscent of early RS Fords and current sporty BMWs
Interscope is worth every penny and more, the sub under the drivers seat sucks your hand in to INXS played at good volume, it really goes for it but you would not know that its sound was not coming from the midrange speakers.
The leather is very high end.
You cannot get much of anything anywhere in these cars but we did test it to the limit, our day to day stuff will just require a seat for the little lady and space in the boot for the laptop bag.
Overall, very very impressed, do these italian (polish) cars still have a rust reputation though?
Many thanks.
