| 4CAR RATING: |
 |
Assets
Striking and original styling, tuneful and responsive V6 engine, well equipped, reasonably entertaining and fair value
Drawbacks
Poor fuel consumption, slightly cramped cabin, uncomfortable passenger seat, tacky centre console finish, could be a more engaging drive, old-tech fabric roof on convertible
Verdict
A fine mix of style and substance, backed by Mercedes' engineering but spoilt by some cheap details . Not as much fun as the alternative Nissan 350Z and Mazda RX-8, either, but a distinctive and desirable car.
