First post in this forum, probably a bit pre-emptive because I haven't actually test driven anything yet but here goes.

I'll be looking for a new car at some point this year and I'm unsure which way to jump, I have a specific car in mind but due to the lead-time issues I'm thinking possibly something different in the interim. Perhaps I'm getting old but I'm starting to favour a bit of luxury and either the CL 63/65 AMG or the SLS AMG look appealing.

If you are a current owner of one of these models how do you find it?
Can an SLS AMG be bought in this country, I don't think I've ever seen one?
What is the main impression when driving a 63/65, comfort, speed, luxury?
Reliability issues? I have heard horror stories about Mercedes but the same could probably be said of any marque, do they have more than their fair share of problems?
How do you find the dealership experience especially with servicing and maintenance issues?

This is just a toe in the water type post so I'm only seeking some basic impressions.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Hi

Sometimes posts get missed and I think the reason is that you have put no useful details in the title of your thread. There are so many advice needed threads around. Try putting CL63 or SLS int the title of another thread and see if that helps. Also try not to pout like an 11 year old when things don't go your waysmile learn how to use a forum effectively and hopefully not too many will see your petty attitude on this thread.
Hope that helps.

Can`t help with the majority of your questions as I have no experience of any of the models you quote and my servicing is attended to by an independent . The dealer I bought my SL55 from was very helpful and negotiated a replacement pair of front discs after I reported (after the test drive ) that I thought they ( the discs) were warped.
