I owned a 92 300CE and you must shift the car into 1st gear and then it will get out of it's own way if you turn off the A/C. I always liked the CE's looks but after looking for a whole Sportline or a Renntech or Brabus car, I settled for a bone stock 500E. 4 years later, a chip and a set of wheels and tires later I am still happy with the decision to INVEST in a 500E. I have never regretted it.

I took the 500E in the divorce and I would suggest that before buying a 300E that you should drive his big brother (500E E500) who is on steroids. Driving a 300CE and then a 500E will be culture shock. Not only will the 500E set you back in the seat at any speed it has balanced set of road manners that makes it happy at the race track or on a business lunch with the boss.

I would suggest a 500E to anyone who is not happy with having to catch up to a plastic car being driven by a plastic person in a plastic world. Blow 'em off the line and never see any view other than through the rear veiw mirror.

To steal someone else quote; to drive a 500E is "PERM-A-GRIN"
