My first drive of the 350 was quite interesting. As I pulled away, with far too much throttle, the rear wheels snatched at the tarmac for grip and the car snaked it's way up the road. My first impression was positive, I like a lively drive and this certainly felt quite lively. But my initial impression did not last for very long. I discovered that if I drove the car with too much vigor that the gearbox would soon start to mess about, it would refuse to change up and hold the car in a gear for far too long. On one occasion I arrived at a t-junction which was on a fairly steep incline; the car would not move! it just sat there with it's engine revving away. After what felt like an age a gear was found with a bang and away we went.
Shop Around: With any brand of car, the monthly lease prices will vary enormously among the various leasing companies. Just because you're looking for a more prestigious brand of car, it doesn't mean you don't have the same level of choice. Often, companies such as Mercedes, Alfa Romeo and Audi etc won't allow the lease price to be lower than a certain amount, simply to protect the value of their vehicles in terms of image. This is just to prevent ridiculously low special offers or serious price undercutting between the various leasing firms. You should still take the time to shop around and see how prices compare. There are definitely many Mercedes contract hire deals to be had, along with every other brand of car.
