Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake Review | Autocar

So bascially £15k more than the equivalent E-Class and not as practical? You getting an iPhone 5S?

Well it looks like a nice place to spend time, plus something that I can carry the skis.

Not a question of getting, it's which colour shall it be.

Wrong. I test drove one of these as a possible new toy earlier in the month. The Cls is more S class in the the ride and features. Very smooth but the boot is very low roofed if you want to put a dog in the back.

Very nice car indeed. Should also consider the jag version

It is very nice from the brief look I took.

Don't have a dog, so don't care about that. And we used to drive a Volvo XC70, but never again, I'm just not that old yet.

I was amazed at how light they feel to drive. It's a very definite contender for the next family car in our house. The only downside was the fact that it is very much a 2+2 rather than 5 seater.

They advertise it as a 5-seater, no? Overall it does feel luxurious.

In the shooting brake they fill in the middle seat but its not very wide is it

An estate that can get to 62mph in 4.3 secs

It's tulip, to be honest. If you want to really tulip yourself in an estate, get an RS6 and pump £15k into it with a German tuner I know. You'll have 800bhp, 0-62 in under 3 seconds and 200mph+

The dog might get a bit sick in the back though...

I prefer to stick to OEM when buying high value items myself.

Rank! Especially the third photo.

I don't think the bird survived, at least it was quick, which is more than most of us get. Dr "Sorry it's cancer" "You're going to fight like a dog on morphine for the next three months before finally dying on an NHS bed without anyone noticing until the next morning"
