Not sure what I think about it and if I’m going to buy one (yet)

Took my c63 to go and get it - On the motorway there’s no comparison and like others has said the 3 was a bit dull. The speed felt, with no noise or drama, well it actually felt slow - comparatively

Acceleration off the line is another story, at first I wasn’t expecting the instant acceleration and it made me giggle. After several stop-go’s I got a bit more use to it although was still fun. After 15 minutes on the test drive I started feeling nauseous so had to calm down.

The comfort was spot on although it was nice to get back in the interior of the C.

I’m tempted to get one purely for that acceleration excitement but would imagine after a while that might fade away.

(Ended up using 35% battery in the 1 hour test drive so can’t imagine realistically getting more than 150 miles range)

Great experience and when wireless charging is an option it might be a game changer, for now I left without putting a deposit down which I was almost sure I would be doing. Am I wrong?

I think the lack of drama and noise made the car feel slow on the motorway
Will leave driving normal for the green peace forum but for me the realistic range of my realistic driving is considerable less than claimed

Still can’t get that rapid acceleration out of my mind. The perfect round-town car imo. Shame the interior, or lack off, let’s it down for any decent length commute
