Check out my AVIS rental
On a recent Germany trip. I got this for 200 Euro / 200 KM a day from Avis in Stuttgart. It was a C2 cab manual, full leather, Xenons, 19's, NAV. It was great fun on the Autobahn and in the Black Forest. As a newby C2S Coupe owner there are definite differences in the two cars. I think both are fantastic. The C2 motor has a smoother powerband and seems to rev faster however, I did miss my extra grunt of the S. The Cab rode better over bumps etc even with the 19's probably due to no PASM and I think the Cabs are softer sprung. I actually like the Sport setting on my PASM for hard driving and wish I had it for the mountain roads but I have to say that this car was more comfortable for daily driving. It started feeling light on the front end at 220 to 230 km/hr and got fairly loud through the top but not scary. I was sad in a way to comeback and drive my S in the US because the car is so much more capable than our traffic laws allow. Anyway, it was my version of European delivery and I recommend it highly.

That is terrific. Did you do the reservation here or there? I am planning on a trip this summer. I would love to rent something like this for the time I am there. Please send me the url? Nice pictures too.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Please tell more how you got that deal. I'm planning a trip to Europe this summer and was thinking of doing the same thing. From what I've seen, they typically start at around 400 euros/day. 200 is a steal!

The deal was real simple. Just go to AVIS.com and look for the German reservations number and book thru them. I did it about a month a head of time. Just be ready for the $9.00 a gallon gas! It burns up quick at a 140mph! But it was like crack cocaine I kept going back for more. Also, I got a Frommers Germany Driving Tours book which helped me piece together some routes. The NAV was a must, really helped through town and in the Dynamic mode it found some great back roads. I actually wish I had NAV on my S.

The cabs are reportedly 40% less stiff than the coupes. I'm SO glad I got a cab this time.
It looks like you're having a terrific time!! Yes,--they truly will suck down the Super Blei-Frei quickly at 250 kph!!
Gute Fahrt!
