Now the thing about the cts-v was, it FELT heavy. I mean, the car is 4300lbs (auto)...It still had the power like crazy, but you can feel the heaviness in the corners. But for a 4300lb car, it handled great. The Benz is like 500lbs lighter but has less power and shifts MUCH quicker. The Benz also FELT sportier, it handled a tad better, but even all the positives of the Benz, unless youre pushing 180lbs tops, your back will be take a beating in those seats, my kidneys were killing me after test driving it for a half hour (much to the disappointment of the carmax salesman who was getting a little frustrated that I kept driving it lol). But the interior is what was really crappy, the nav wasnt touch screen, no usb or ipod outlets, just a LOT more basic, not to mention all of the creaks I heard and the car only had like 30k on the clock.
Oh, and insurance is VERY high with the caddy. For me, im paying 53 a month full coverage for my z, it would jump nearly 40 a month with a caddy. The Benz, it actually went down a dollar a month. I am driving down to fredericksburg to test out a nice coupe cts-v again, and hopefully the salesman will let me take it over 40 this time around!
