I cannot overstate how much I enjoy Sarah's reviews. They remind me of Car and Driver back in the 80's and 90's, where you actually learned the details of a car, engine, etc. Like showing how the turbo and cat are placed in the engine, etc. This also extends to the driving reviews. They are nuanced to the point I can actually understand the way the car is behaving and why. As others have stated, I watch Sarah's views even for vehicles I don't like, simply because I know I'll learn something useful about the car and enjoy the review itself.

We bought the CLE 300 with the AMG interior and wheel package. We have just over 1,000 miles on it. Over certain types of road surfaces, it has more road noise than I would care for, but 90% of the time it is what you would expect. The car feels solid and handles well. With the smaller displacement engine, it does take some RPM to get a spirited driving experience, which does make for more engine noise than you get with the 450. But it does move reasonably well. Overall, we're happy with the purchase.

The dimples on the under carriage skid plate is for wind resistance like in a golf ball plus it'll give a little more structural rigidity. Myth busters did a test by dimpling a whole car and the results were quite surprising. Definitely worth watching especially for the entertainment factor. I miss that show.

This viewer agrees that a review of a lower-spec model is generally more helpful than one of a higher-spec model, and your reasoning for that is spot-on. 👍 Interestingly, and you likely know this, Mercedes isn't necessarily a "luxury" brand in other parts of the world, particularly Europe. They only lean on this in the US, and (probably) other wealthy markets.

What are premium car manufacturers thinking? You mentioned the fake exhaust rings, but all the people I talk to don't like the screens in the interior replacing the physical buttons, knobs and switches. Fine for a budget car, but in a premium car I want a knob I can turn to change the temperature or music volume. And they must feel and look premium and not look like some robot digital fantasy.

So the ProContact GX SSR MOE stands for... Luxury AllSeason passenger car tyre (GX) Self Sustained Runflat (SSR) Mercedes Original Equipment Extented Mobility (MOE) So, they were developed specifically for Mercedes cars and differ slightly from the aftermarket tyres. You can buy MOE market tyres as well, but if you don't drive a Mercedes, you don't need to. They are usually also slightly more expensive than the non-MOE. Also, I was kinda hoping for a Simpsons joke there.
