Impossible. Not even a Hummer can climb over an incline of 74 degrees. Its like driving up a brick wall.

While climbin the slope down the car just never went into higher gears,
Stuck to 1 or 2 cause it cud feel it not go down smooth,
Also when id break it wudnt downshift early,
Precisely the reason I would never ever buy an automatic (560 SEL excluded). My grey cells are better than a silicon chip, when deciding which gear to use.

That is SCARY! I have braked my C from 160 in a panic stop, and it was stable as hell. I was impressed.

4. Used about 110 L of fuel @ 506 kms.
What!! You averaged 2.85 km/liter of petrol on the way DOWN! How much did the display show you on the way UP?

Also your round-trip average of 4.6 seems way low to me. I have averaged 11's on my trips to Nasik in the C, and obviously much higher than that on the expressway.
