I got a call last week, my french canadian grandmother, it went like this.

"Sean, I got a new half of a car, meet me at Mercedes right now, Im too scared to drive it home, I need your help!"

So I get into the car, drive down, and I still this little monster (with out a bite) in the showroom, my granny sitting in it haha.

Ive had it for a couple days now, just getting used to it so I can show how her to drive it (her idea, trust).

Overall... its slow, but the most fun Ive had driving in the winter, summer should be a kick with the targa and sun draining in.. , its AWD Turbo 3CYL, Rear engine, paddle shift.. 6 speed tip troic blah blah, nice interior, comfortable seats. I filled it last night for $10 canadian, diesel. It runs about 400-600 city km's, only runs 145 kmh.... but for an old lady! Amazing for her underground parking, I will look for hte pic of me parking sideways in a spot haha, but just overall out of

I will get better pics in the sun sometime this year, the roof comes off aswell as the door panels to change the colour within 20 minutes. Red, blue , green etc. The wheels are just the snow/rainy winter type. There are some 8 spoke in the garage with Falkens for summer

Enjoi.

I had only heard about them before, never really seen one. I guess she was in Europe last couple months ago, and saw one, and fell in love.

It boosts like mad at 2,500 rpm's, almost to the point where you need music because its so loud, not to mention its hatch and the motor is under the trunk space.

The most fun to drift, haha I want to take a vid if we get more snow..

The size you cant tell, but think of an Echo, then cut it in half..

 

thats awesome

 

I saw one of those the other day driving around. Alright for a daily driver.

Is it weird that all I can think of is "cute"

The brake is weird.. its tip tronic not automatic. It can shift on the steering wheel. Its got automated clutch, so there is no clutch but when your on a hill you will roll back in any gear. Its got a shift pattern like a standard car, to the right and back for reverse etc. Put it in neutral and brake up when you turn it off. For a 70+ old lady, its not something you learn in one hour.
