I really didn't like it, seemed cheaply made (although being a hire car it was probably bottom of the range). In particular I disliked the foot hand brake. Although maybe they have finally moved away from that?
Anyway Mercs are for people who need to make a statement. Skodas are for sensible people who don't need to waste money on a showy car.

Anyway which model merc should I have got that matches the Skoda's space/boot capacity and performance? (155 limited top speed, 0-62 in 5.2 seconds). I'm sure there is a merc that can do that, but it will be twice the price at least.

Handbrake is electric. 0-62 mph: 3.4 seconds. 45-50 to the gallon. Good service contract with mercedes at £44 pounds a month over two years allowing for 2 services and two mot's. Parts inclusive. Yeh pricey to buy, but quite cheap to run.

He doesn’t livaboard, he doesn’t understand. If anything gets too real for him, then Jeff has to deal with it. Ah yes, you are falling for CRT's divide and rule strategy. In fact I think you invented it! It’s you who thinks they are special, more important than anyone else. So it’s you who separates your self by your arrogance. I was just stating the truth. Have you ever spent a winter living on a muddy towpath? Needing to make sure your toilets empty and you’ve got water? No you haven’t, so you’ve got no idea what it entails or how hard it is. Besides that, you don’t care about other peoples situations. Because your alright jack.
