@@DMCarReviews because that switch next to the Transmission lever (in the video) was set to W. W/S are the options... S mode is Standard or "Summer", W is for Snow/Rain conditions aka "Winter" which makes the car take off in 2nd gear instead of 1st to limit tire slippage for safety
I have the exact same car and it pushes a little closer to 6.2 0-60 but like whose counting 😅😅 It’s funny to hear the dash squeak just like mine does 🤣
When you drive this era MB check the switch by the lever. If it’s in W like this car is it should be in S. W(Winter) starts in 2nd gear and isn’t a quick to respond to throttle inputs because that mode is for inclement weather low traction scenarios. S (Sport or Standard) starts off in 1st and is more responsive and eager to down shift. Maybe you can revisit this car with that adjustment. It’ll be much more entertaining to drive. And you won’t really have to use kick down so much to speed up/ pass.
This is my favourite car, mostly because of the body design. Must be 320 for sure, not 230 or lower. Maybe even AMG but I don't like all those fancy body details and a steering wheel. One thing I did not decide when I will finally buy it - manual or auto. Auto seems to be slow - what do you think? Not that I need something super fast, but it may be annoyingly slow in todays standards and ruin the experience. Also manuals are rear. All depend on how and where you are driving it... Another thing is that interior is quite squeaky, even that the car is very short. Thanks for the video, can't find many reviews about this model.
