This era of Mercedes-Benz was peak. They were timeless and beautiful, solid, and most importantly, reliable. Now they just make different sized blobs that creak and rattle and don't even get me started on reliability.

@@DMCarReviews I wanted to see a specific test and I believe you are the perfect guy to do it, if you ever come across a hellcat(charger or challenger) when you do the 0-60, can you try a run starting off in 2nd gear?

This is what you would call a true E Class with a V6 engine that was reliable and naturally aspirated. This is the best looking E Class of all time and it was when a Mercedes was still truly manufactured like one. Nothing will beat this E class especially with the reliability and body style along with the V6 power.

I have a late 2012 C Class, which is like the little brother of this one. Really a great generation of MBs from the 90s until mid 2010s. I especially like the 2010s MBs since they all have that modern feel, but still that sort of analog style you'd expect from older generations, like all of the physical buttons, real instrument clusters with a small display on the inside. Separate digital infotainment system, that still works to this day with all phones. My iPhone connects to it with ease, I can play music from it, when someone calls, I can accept the call from the call and even if I don't the car knows better to turn down the music. Most engines are very reliable. In general very reliable cars if you take care of them and change parts in time. It really makes me wonder if the next car I own should be a an W212 facelift E class with a V6 like the one in the video.

I have owned E-Classes since 2002 and now have the exact same car that you tested. My 99 E-430 was fast but not as balanced. My 2002 E320 4matic wagon, a comfortable kiddie hauler but handled heavily and not fast. 2006 E-320 CDI with inline diesel was bullet proof and one of the best they ever made. I got over 41mpg on one highway trip but the interior was a bit unrefined. The 2015 with the V6 is everything you said. Comfortable daily driver, sporty when you want it to be and you can emerge from a 12hr road trip and feel great! It exudes "balance" in ever parameter.
