What Car? Currently have a test review of the 5 series, V90 and E class wagons.
They recommend the suspension upgrade for both the 5 and V90.
I won't spoil the surprise who wins though the words throughout the review and the final result don't appear to align.
Enjoy next Monday.

Oh dear, Humphs wagon of choice comes last. - What do they say now? let me see Lumpiest ride; so-so handling; iffy quality; road noise
and two pots short of a roast.

Humph doesn't have the MB wagon in the review - he's still on the previous model. Essentially a newer version of his previous with a less powerful 4 cylinder engine (the 2.1l and not the newer 2.0l).

Bigger boot though and just way classier.

Wasn't that impressed by a fairly base-model S213 E wagon Boy 1 and I clambered over in a showroom the other week. Can't comment on its dynamics but the cabin of a CLS is much more appealing - as it should be, given the difference in new price between the two.

It'll be lovely anyway. Hope you get loads of pleasure from owning it. Even if it'll be a bit dark and short of fresh air in there sometimes...

At least you got the interior colour right.

It'll match the hearing aid I suppose.

Congratulations, Sven / Klingsor (although he lived in Spain, I think.) Especially so for omitting the sunroof. Hope you enjoy it to the full.

It really does sound great. And a really nice colour choice too. He mustn't take any notice of people who say green cars are unlucky, that is almost certainly just superstitious nonsense. 😜

Lovely car, lucky you.
>>They did, but someone told me that birds crap through it on your seats, so I declinded
If you were going to pay that much attention to the experiences of others then you'd have bought it without door mirrors or a 4th wheel.
p.s. congratulations on "declinded", so much better than the original, I may adopt it.
