Nov 2, 2019

This September marks the ten-year anniversary of the M-Class, the first SUV built by Mercedes-Benz in the U.S. In addition to its exclusive exterior and interior finish, the Edition 10 comes with an enhanced list of standard equipment. A rear-view camera, GPS navigation, power liftgate, rain-sensor wipers and heated front seats are all standard, along with a harman/kardon premium audio system with six-disc CD changer, rear audio controls, Sirius satellite radio and an integrated hands-free phone system. When the 1998 Mercedes-Benz M-Class first arrived, the new sport utility vehicle started a trend that inspired the entire auto industry to shift toward more luxurious car-like SUVs. Launched as the only sport utility in its class with four-wheel independent suspension, the original M-Class was one of the first to be designed from the ground up, rather than being based on an existing truck platform. The first-generation M-Class won many awards, including the prestigious North American Truck of the Year. During the eight-year life cycle of the first-generation vehicle, more than 570,000 M-Class SUVs were produced at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, with about half of them sold in the U.S. The second-generation M-Class reasserted its industry leadership in a highly competitive market that had grown dramatically since the launch of the original Mercedes-Benz SUV.

Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years.

My C7 Corvette Grand Sport is having some minor electrical problems and unfortunately my Chevy dealership experiences have not been too great in going about solving them. I also find having some of these electrical problems to be unacceptable in a car that is one year old. So I was thinking going with luxury car maker in the future since the Chevy dealerships around me are a little lulzworthy, and so far Audi is the brand that I most have my eye on. I decided to rent a 2018 TTRS as it is a car that looks more unique and sporty than your typical luxury sedan/coupe but at the same time is a bit more practical than the C7 Corvette. The areas I will focus on are: Power, Handling, Practicality, Style, Build Quality, and Overall Driving Experience. So this is kind of an interesting metric to look at between these two cars.

The Audi TTRS has a 2.5L 400HP 350lb/ft torque turbo charged 5cylinder engine mated to an AWD 7 speed DCT transmission. My C7 Grand Sport has a 6.2L NA V8 producing 460HP 460lb/ft torque and is mated to a torque converter 8 speed automatic. The Audi feels similar to other low displacement turbo charged cars that I have driven. It has some initial go from the engine and then once the turbo spools up a big wave of torque and power carries it up to speed. I wouldn't say the system is "laggy" but you do gain a few thousand RPM's before you really feel the turbo kick in. Whereas the Audi probably would beat the C7 Grandsport to 60 in the real world, I would describe it as "quick" whereas the Corvette just feels powerful almost everywhere in the RPM band. This power difference is really noticeable when driving the cars back to back.

I often criticize the Grand Sport for being too balanced of a car and too tame but compared to the TTRS it is much more visceral. The TTRS in a lot of ways is just as fast, but you kind of get to speed without feeling much effort, or excitement. So the TTRS brings you get up to speed in a rather unremarkable blur, whereas in the Grandsport you feel like you're attached to a rocket by comparison. On the highway the Corvette is the better car to have. The extra horsepower and torque really begins to shine after 60mph, and on the highway the Corvette just puts you in any position you want to be in with all of the torque and power it has. A lot of reviewers praised the TTRS for having a really unique sound full of personality and a great exhaust mated to it. Though the car does sound nice and is definitely the most exciting sounding German car I've driven thus far (which isn't saying much) The C7 Corvette's V8 is just so much more present and pleasant to listen to.
