My wife is pregnent and I am in the market for a Cayenne TT (already settled on one that I will be buying soon).

I went to the local Mercedes dealershio to look at a CTT they had and noticed this really cool looking station wagon. I thought "this car is really nice...as long as I have my GT2 and CTT, this would make an excellent 3rd car/family hauler."

I mean, the cars were really well equipped and the 350 is incredibly inexpensive (44K new). And Edmunds has rated them very high.

I am keeping my eye on these cars, will maybe look into a one year old 500 (V-8) in a couple of years or a 350 for my wifes DD purposes.

What are the opinions of others about this car. Mind you, its purpose is for family functions. Iknow, I know, it is a station wagon....but I will always have my 600 hp GT2 for fun.

 

R63 is where it is at Serves ALL of the family: space, comfort, and of course, will suit your needs of speed!

 

Jimbo, I am getting a CTT that will have over 500 hp after a chip, so the R63 (an awsome vehicle) is covered.

 

Why not have both?

 

Mercedes can't compare in terms of handling...its top heavy.

 

my friend's mom has one. it's nice for a family car.
go for it!

 

By any chance, were you still wearing your beer goggles? The R is fugly.

 

I like it. The R gets this year a facelift. Got it used next year or so.

 

I have an R500 that I use to transport the family on weekends between Denver and Vail. We have three yound kids (oldest is 7) and the R is a great family transporter. I may be in the minority but I actually like the looks and have been extremely happy with the R. The interior is very functional, comfortable, and has a ton of space.

 

The R is a nice car, I acctually like it with the AMG kit that you can order from factory; there used to be a sky blue R500 at the Dealership here in Kuwati, It looked spectacular.

 

My friend has had nothing but problems with his. Handles coming off, electrical issues, etc. No recurring issues, just overall poor craftsmanship.

 

i hated them at first, but it's growing on me. i especially like the fact that there's only 2 seats in the second row.

 

I'd wait till they do the revisions on them

 

Just because your wife is pregnant, doensnt mean your car needs to look like its pregnant too...



Please, just get an ML or something instead...or even an FX45 or a X5 or a...you get the picture...haha

 

E55 Wagon! That's what you need
