Luxury Performance Sedans

Replying to: jjacura (Sep 06, 2005 8:51 pm)

having lived in arizona a long time and having hiked everywhere from the san juans to the arches to almost every named canyon in AZ & UT and then all the way into yosemite several several times and having driven from durango to flagstaff and down to scottsdale many many many times, i will have to say it's not a downhill drive. is it like never ending? maybe, but downhill it is not. i'd be excited with that mileage reading on the RL. now flagstaff to phoenix valley is mostly downhill except for the sudden 4000 odd foot climb just past the sedona exit (going southwards over the mingus mountains). Flagstaff to hoover is mostly downhill too.
 
on that note, if you ever drive up from the phoenix valley to sedona skip I-17 and drive up over 89A. go catch it in prescott & go over the mingus mountain into Jerome, make sure you get some time there, then down into cottonwood, then into Sedona. Then if you have time, keep up on 89A all the way into flagstaff.
 
And of course, to bring it back to topic, make sure, to either drive in a convertible or in your LPS....

ksso...we fly to Phoenix every year and will be going back again shortly...have made the trip to Sedona and Flagstaff a number of times and always on I-17 but once we drove 89A on the strech between Sadona and Flagstaff enjoying the Sycamores and the river along the way.. Thanks for the suggestion to go through Prescott and Jerome. Last April we drove from Mesa, Az. to Santa Fe...took some small roads through Payson, Snowflake and the Petrified Forest near the Little Colorado river. We had 90 degrees in Phoenix and then SNOW as we approached Gallup on our way to Santa Fe. (as we neared Gallop we were detoured around the bridge on the north side of town because 3 semi's and one poor driver in a car collided at midnight the night before. One of the cabs was sheared off the frame....Black Ice! ) Would loved to have had the RL on that trip.

I have recently become very interested in MB because of the exterior styling. However, I am very concerned about reliablity, I don't want do spend a down payment on a house, and have a car in the shop all the time.
 
Any MB owners out there to help me with thier experiences?
