A friend's Jag X-Type has already had $32,000 in warranty repairs in 2 years, and Land Rover came in dead last in the latest J.D. Power initial build quality survey. Again.

The Benz is nice, but I like the look of the BMW 3 series convertible.

What about the Brabus Versions? I know that they are pricey but they are fast as hell

The SL brabus has a 730hp engine and the same goes for the CLS rocket brabus

Everything base? 3-series by a mile, even though they're a dime a dozen.

Swapped my gas guzzler ML for this exact spec 2008 model C class.

Never thought I'd go for a smaller car again but I have it on pretty good authority that the 225+ CO2 cars are going to get HAMMERED (£950 p.a) in the next budget (or possibly the pre budget announcement for the next one again).

You will not be able to give the gas guzzlers away.

My dealer give me this after typing my specification into the Merc system. It will be here in a fortnight.
