If you are looking for a car that will impress in every which way then this is the car for you. The ride and comfort are superfluous and the way it generates it is simply outstanding. The V12 is magical! The maintenance is on par with other Mercedes models for the most part although it has more of everything for the most part. One of the only pillar less coups out there and this design sets it apart from other vehicle and makes it immediately recognizable. Yes it uses more gas but you should expect that with this level of performance.
