Hi all,
I know this topic should not really be here but could not resist after seeing this car in the flesh today ,its called a " Maybach" i think ,looks like a bently has a badge on the back MM and a merc badge on the front,based on the defensive driving style of the other 03 merc that surrounded it while on the motorway i d say it expensive to say the least, anyone know what it is?

There is only one complaint with Volvo V70 - R included.

The interior bodywork rattles - and for a near 40K car that should never be. On my 70R AWD there was always something rattling
1 Sunroof 2. Dash 3. Rear area.

And my car was well looked after and immaculate inside with only 50K on the clock.

Merc or BMW just do not do that and until Volvo get their act together I will not buy another.

My next car when the time comes BMW 330d touring.
