C32 AMG....

Yo Peeps,

Just a quick question.... C32 AMG, any good as a day to day?

I guess I should be mostly worried about MPG and Comfort... Neither look too bad for a car like that, and it would appear it might just be a suitable compromise for less than £10k!

I have looked at some BMW alternatives and can't find bugger all.... Alpina B3S are somewhere like, but I honestly don't think they are as good a car just to stay in the BMW marque.

Accords, Mazda 6's etc can be had newer and for less money, but I am not convinced I NEED to reduce running costs... Merely that I wan't to get money out of the 135i.

Bear in mind I still have the Porsche in the garage so I don't want something too sporty either... an M3 for example is too harsh day to day and arguably as competitive as the Boxster on twisties.

I'd prefer the Merc which I see as a quiet, powerful auto which I can cruise happily around in with mucho comfort. I'll also scratch the exclusivity and pride itches which I do suffer from.

Other options welcome, I am far from dead set.

Regards
Matt
