    If I was going into that industry it would be S Class all day long. Was a passenger in a taxi recently it was S Class and it was too notch.

    Cheers. Although I love the sclass and is standard chauffeur car I just think it's boring to look at and the cls320 is so much prettier.

    Your biggest problem is going to be rear headroom for clients. The CLS is a 4 door coupe and as such the car sits low to the ground and has a very low sloping roofline. An E Class would offer more practicality for rear passengers though it's not as pretty as the CLS.

    Clients more impressed with interior space and comfort I would imagine. It's a business tool.at the end of the day. But I would imagine a CLS is up to the task nicely still an impressive machine.

    Yep there a super car I guess I just wanted to stand out from the crowd.
    I don't like the old style eclass it's too dated so it looks like a 2007/8 sclass

    The only car I regret selling on is a CLS 320

    For: Lovely car to drive, and be a front seat passenger in. Very comfy, quite frugal, and pokey when you wanted it to be.

    Against: 4 seats, low to the ground (getting in for tall people can be tough), rear legroom is tight, rear headroom is tight

    I found running costs quite high, compared to a C180K (previous car), and the E200K (subsequent car).

    Yep there a lovely car but maybe not for chauffeur work unfortunatly.
