2004 Mercedes-Benz E500 4Matic V8 Wagon (S211) - MotorWeek Retro Review

[@michaeltee9351]

I’ve had one since 2017 and it’s costly to maintain but a wonderful car, having covered over 85,000 miles across Europe.

Mercedes E wagon is my favorite, beautiful and classic

[@Ferraridude13]

Love it! Best looking E-Class wagon of all time, and still ultra practical. Kinda disappointed they didn’t have somebody test fit the rear seats for comfort

[@damilolaakanni]

I'd disagree with you there. While this wasn't bad, the S212 pre-facelift looked much better than the S211. I haven't seen the facelift S212 at all, so I can't say anything about those. The model code for Mercedes wagons in the 2000's started with S while the sedans and SUVs started with W.

8 cylinder all wheel drive Mercedes wagon really is the ultimate all around car…

[@RetroCarReviews]

This car really is the SHIT... So GOOD

[@RetroCarReviews]

I mean without going crazy and getting the AMG...

[@tonychavez2083]

@@RetroCarReviews I have the AMG sedan already, I like the extra space and practicality of the wagon. The only thing you loose in the wagon is outright top end speed. I think the E500 estate and saloons are limited in the US to 130 mph. My sedan pulls 185+ with the Weistec control unit i have. Have only seen 170 and change on the way to Vegas..

[@detonater1348]

@@tonychavez2083 they top out at 155mph, 130 is unheard of on any german made after 2000

[@tonychavez2083]

@@detonater1348 it’s 130 for US market cars due to the all season tires

Nice watching these old MW shows.

This car review made me cry thinking about that era I miss!

S211, not W211 Thanks for the correction in the description!

[@BooTub3]

I wish they made a Motorweek review for the W211 E55 & E63 Estates 😭 My favorite channel when I want QUICK thorough rundowns on any car & Smoking Tire is my favorite channel for longer thorough reviews

At the end, on the magazine, its a C class not an E

[@damilolaakanni]

2:46 Same 0-60 as the sedan while weighing 400lbs more...and with the exact same engine as the sedan. Wizardry, IMO.

[@fry.master]

Awd and junk tires on the stock sedan.

I wish they'd go back to this design language

[@redriver15262]

i still think its soooo odd that they updated the whole car, yet they Kept the OLD w210 Tail Lights 😅😅😅😅

Nothing is more easy to deal than a air suspension. Dumb people still paying 2000 bucks for 300 parts

[@TheGunsmithingMusician]

W210 or S210 wagons had the 4.3 V8 available. S211 is not the first V8 power Merc wagon.
