its almost as if you want her to drive them

With me in the car, yes - why not?  Not possible with no insurance though.

Once she's on L's, I'd rather she took her mates to Victor in the E500 than the Fiat. Bigger, stronger, heavier, insured. It's worth trying to get the exemption.

But if MB Australia will import the new turbo E63 in a wagon, that might change the garage.

i was more refering to the ferrari/porsche, but yes the e-class makes more sense. + they can actually fit cartons of.... soft drink in that too.

Yes, I thought the same thing. We do own a Fiat 500 but I could claim that daughter can only drive autos and therefore has a choice between a Turbo Porsche, a Ferrari, a V12 Merc or a V8 Merc - and the V8 seems the lesser evil.

AE beating the system!
