I always did wonder how those arm-rest things worked!

39+ MPG on a 16 Mile journey...that's some extensive road testing right there.

Manual merc? He's trying to explain that it's not that bad

[Inigo Montoya]

Give the poor chap a break, he's in Gwent - probably just amazed that you don't need a shovel to put the coal in.

[Mr Will]

Now if he explained how to do a hill-start in it, that might be more useful.

They did still have 4 pedals at that age, didn't they?

If 41k is very low miles I'd love to know what he thinks very high miles is!

Hmmm no mention of the chronic rust problem that most 2001 plate Mercs have

[Flanders.]

That speedo is Ghastly.

I would say 41k is pretty low mileage on a 5yr car, let alone a 9yr old car!! Do the maths, average miles would say 100k+ on a 9yr old. That aside though it's a hugely cheesy advert.
