The way it looks, the weight, the cheap looking interior with nasty after-thought screen.

Its hardly cheap looking inside, the switchgear is all aluminium, HCI is good, touch is nice, long lasting polycarbonates, everything fits great, everything click and clunks reassuringly, and there are no rattles, squeaks or knocks?

Why do Mercedes get less power from their 3 litre V6 than the 2 litre 4 cylinder?!

Erm... Which 2 litre engine produces more than 367 bhp?

I find it hard to look past that screen. I bought a tablet very similar to that from China for £20 about 5 years ago. Why isn't it integrated into the dashboard? Why is there a gigantic dead black border???

Ah, ok, fair enough. For some reason I was thinking only of diesels. In any event, 367 bhp for a 3 litre diesel is surely not bad.

Not sure where diesel comes into it... The C43 is a petrol engine, the A45 is a petrol engine.

Sorry, I'm having a bit of an off day - I'll shut up now!

This. From all the Mercedes reviews I've read down the years on PH, this must put so many people off buying. Not even an option to get rid of the ugly thing!
