M5 did well, place 6 out of 19 places - not bad for a 4-door-saloon car Too bad the M6 wasnt there

Happy reading !

I have that issue of Autocar. Apparently the testers weren't happy from how CLS performed cause the feedback from the steering was not good enough and the car felt slow to react in the turns. No need to mention that they prefered the M5 instead.

And the 911 is no1, what an amazing car.

The reason why the CLS55 didn't do so well is obvious. The car is a damn luxury car and not a sport car. The car is comfortable and elegant, and is not meant to be taken on a track.

Re: [scans] Britain's best driver's car 2005 - M5, CLS 55 and many more

The new M5 is a worthy replacement for M5 E39. M5 E60 can transport 4 people, the car has comfort, its practical, equipped with all kind of luxury but at the same time sporty, fast and entertaining to drive. The whole package is suberb. I love this car.

"The M5 simply isnt a circuit car, although its an unsurpassed hooligan if you've got an old set of rear tires to kill. Its simply too heavy and although it did better on the road, our tight and challenging routes just didnt suit it as well as the open flowing roads of previous tests. Its an incredible package, with arguably the finest engine on sale at any price, but just occasionally it felt slightly blunt, constrained by its weight. Factor in its inherent practicality , though, and its still awesome."

Re: [scans] Britain's best driver's car 2005 - M5, CLS 55 and many more

Yeah, but it is faster on wet than the F430, having the 4 th time. On real roads, only the Ford GT (= spiritual descendent of THE Great Ferrari HUMILIATOR the GT40 ) and the Noble 400 can best it, well probably.
M5 wins another batlle against the Ferrari (on wet).
