@Giao Tran 100 000 mi is nothing for a car like this if it's maintained correctly, just do the regular maintenance regularly / change all the fluids in time (according to the fluid interval chart in my latest videos) and you will easily reach 200 000 mi without major problems, but of course if you have air suspension then that can fail earlier

[@pgricar]

As far as I know, MB E class vehicles which are manufactured in Germany as taxies, come from special production line with several considerable modifications comparing to regular E class vehicles and this is why the perform and last better on a long term basis. They are highly desirable on second hand market (especially with lower milleage) and you can hardly get one outside Germany.

[@wtmira9111]

This is one of the most beautiful car ever for me.

[@TimFleener]

Nice review. I find your content a lot more helpful than many other channels. I own a black 2011 E350 4matic sedan, much like several of the ones shown in your video. It is almost seven years old now, and I have had zero issues with it. I use full synthetic Mobil 1 oil and change the oil every 10,000 miles. The E Class is a wonderful car. It drives like a dream, and the ride is very smooth and supple. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking about buying one. Just make sure you don't get one where the previous owner didn't take good care of it. No car will be in good shape long-term when the previous owner trashed it and never took care of it.

[@hellokitty2931]

Nice ! 😊 I own the same one too... but in Arctic White 😊 and I agree with everything you've said 😊... I love how well built and quiet it is too! The only thing I wish I could do now is upgrade the COMAND system to make the colors better and more custom on the screen. I know there is an upgrade for the GPS/ Map within the system... but I wonder if there's a way to add more colors & the ability to choose custom color theme's ?

[@nasarazam]

How many miles do you have it on it now? Is there a best year between 2009 and 2012 for E 350?

[@moseskeng2689]

I purchased MB E350 2013 I did my research on consumer report and notice that the reliability for this year is the same as Lexus es350 (just a note 2014 model is less reliable). I owned a Lexus es300H 2015 ran great but hybrid is not a keeper long term. So far it runs great at 47k no issues.

[@cal1k]

I was lucky car owner changed oil every 5000 miles

[@razziish]

Tim Fleener how many miles do you have I It? Looking to buy a used one with 100k miles

[@UhhhhhnooOOo00oO]

Plastic creaking, under-protected wood trim, no volume visually displayed anywhere when listening to audio sources, lack of steering wheel next track or selector (having to hit it below the center screen or scroll into menus to do it) and horizontally stitched synthetic seats, that always tear should be on the con list. Some engine issues were also fixed later in the model cycle. Front and rear parking sensors are NOT standard. They are options. The Face-lift was the 2014 model, developed in 2012 and sold in mid/late 2013. (It wasn't a 2013 model, it was only sold as a 2014 model as its first debut) The rest is quite accurate.

[@simplecarblog5663]

A taxi stamp is a way of showing quality. I like the E-class models, w211 is one of my favorites. A mercedes is good as long it works like most cars.

[@elp.3478]

W212 is a beuty , but too many problems with engine.

You have to consider consistent maintenance. A lot of people don’t really get to know their car & get it checked up monthly or whatever

[@dragos-lucian]

For those who got a taxi, knowingly or unknowingly (a lot of them are repainted), even though they have over 500k km, the parts used for them are long-life parts, so those are more durable than the ones used in ordinary, non taxi models. Plus that the periodic revisions are done 2 times a year and because it's Germany we're talking about here, those revisions are seriously strict. So like one of my friends said (a very skilled mechanic for Mercedes and BMW mostly), if you manage to put your hands on a low mileage taxi that has a few more options inside (comfort, etc), then you've got yourself a very good car. I got a W211 model (beginning of 2009), and it runs to this day really smoothly. Yes, over time I went though the ordinary troubles like changing the fuel pump along with repairing the injectors which fail the moment the high pressure pump gives its last breath, pressure regulators and so on. But if you take care of these things, which os only natural, the car will run perfectly fine.

[@djkasdjkasdjdjdj]

lol the w211 are the worse in reliability and yet your still defending it

[@dragos-lucian]

@@djkasdjkasdjdjdj i suppose it depends on the state the car is when you got it. My dad has a w212 and he got more things replaced in that than me to this point. Since I left this comment I only replaced the EGR valve and then did the regular arms, bushing, service. The engine purrs like a kitten. That’s why I didn’t bother getting another car. Everything needed is done by me at home. I learnt every square cm until this point and it’s honestly a simple car to maintain to me. Very reliable in my books. Reliability is very much influenced by the previous owner/s in which case pretty much every brand is gonna suffer from that more or less.

[@racionator2668]

One of my friends has an E220CDI W212 from 2011 7G tronic Avantgard (Silver color in Avantgard basic package), he bought it new and now he has 780 000Km, serviced at the dealership until 2015m then went at my place (about 230k km), he will come in January for a complete engine service (nothing is broken just to make sure we prevent a future failiure), we will change the chain for the secound time and all the filters, clean the DPF and all the catalitic converters, also we will take a look at the breaks and will change all the fluids. Flywhele is still rocking strong. He drives every day with this car on the open road so this is an equvalant of a 250 000km city driven car (considering the things we changed compared from another w212 taxi car)

This is my pimp machine. I have this car with the unlimited 1 million millage warranty until July 2018. If you buy in America buy late 2011-13 for the first gen because it has the 7 G Tronic Plus (70,000 miles between blue ATF change) vs 40,000 mile for the 7 G Tronic (No plus) is 40,000 miles....Both cost $500 to change at the dealer against gravity fill. Also things to look for: Black headliner, AMG sport package with all 5 wheels (4 rims 1 steering). Most have MB text, you want keyless-go look for chrome on door handles... in the USA look for "P2" package cars...

[@nasarazam]

What is P2 Package?

[@rusty3831]

Nasar Azam - P1 - Premium 1 package, P2 - Premium 2 package, and P3 - Premium 3 package. Very few MBZ have the Premium 3 package except for some of the higher end AMG models. Most MBZ come with Premium 1 package.

Take it from someone who owns a wholesale autoparts distributor company...don't buy the version with Air Shocks unless you got serious money laying around you can spend on repairs. When we get calls for these air shocks going out they are not cheap at all. Even if you get shocks that are reman and not new you'll still end up spending a pretty penny for them. Still with the base model E350 or the Sport E350, they're the ones that come with regular shock absorbers.

I have a 2010 E350 and it's the best, most reliable car I have ever owned. The engine, whilst not overly powerful, is surprisingly quick off the mark. The only thing I have to say is OIL CHANGE!!

[@SalamiCheeks]

yes, the e class is a great car. It is ALOT more reliable long term than a bmw 5 series or an Audi A6. In my opinion the 5 series and a6 from 2011-2018 are way better looking cars inside and out than the e class though. The bmw especially looks amazing inside and the screen on the dash looks 10x better than the benzs. Mercedes took way to long to update the classes interior. But, because of the reliable naturally aspirated 6 cylinder in the e class I would buy that car over the other three. If I was leasing those cars brand new I would choose the 5 series and even the a6 all day long over the e class

At work I drive a 2018 E220 D, and sometimes V250D, the most amazing thing is the fuel consumption in the E class. It's almost as if the car is allergic to diesel! The E class is for sure a superbly comfortable drivers car although I think if I was a rear seat passenger I would find it a bit cramped. The V class is a different animal altogether and my choice leans toward the V class over the E mainly for the driving position, practicality and the fact that the rear axle doesn't skip over motorway expansion joints.

[@djazz127]

Beware of the timing chain rattle in Bluetech 3.0L diesels with 75k on it. The timing chain stretches due to the high heat, and 10k mile oil changes with Mobil 1. Its not a diesel oil and just cant take the diesel soot between long oil changes. You hear the rattle on cold startup and it goes away after about 2-3 seconds......until it finally breaks and now you have a lovely E350 paperweight. Replacement of the chain is complicated, not like the old inline 4s and 6s.

Thanks for the great review! I bought 2014 E550 Convertible CPO 2.5 years ago and reached 45,000 miles with two problems. One is automatic driving support sensor issue and is replaced twice under warranty. The other one is warped front brake disc maybe due to the heavy body weight. I did not replace the disc yet because the braking capability is still good except keep pumping the brake pedal while pressing the brake. One other issue I am concerning is faint high pitch noise from suspension when cold start in the morning. Once the car is warmed up, the noise is gone. Dealer failed to find the reason. Do anyone have the similar experience? Please help. Besides these three issues, I have no problem yet. After quite disappointed to the two different Mercedes dealer services in my area - they tried to overcharge me three times! - I could find an independent Mercedes service shop with more than 30 years of experiences. All of their customers enjoy very old classic Mercedes. They were very curious why relatively new Mercedes comes to their shop. Those new Mercedes buyers prefer the dealer service, they said. The regular maintenance cost is less than 50% compared to the dealer. They told me the exact same stories that your review told. Only because the fuel tank is made of plastic, there may be an issue in the future. Another issue may come out in the future is the weak transmission, which may cost around 2,500$. Besides these issues, they predict I can enjoy this car quite long distance for a long time to come. Though pricey in the beginning, I hope I can ride this car for a really long time.

Hey great video mate . I was thinking of getting a c250-c350 around 2011-2015 . Is this a good car to buy . What should I avoid or look for ?

[@Felon229]

He has a video for that

[@strayedcat1966]

Great informational video, thanks. 2014 E350 Estate V6 (non turbo) Automatic Iridium Silver/Black USA... Please, how do I confirm/determine exactly the Engine and Chassis Numbers?

[@MJA5]

I have a 2011 E350!Bluetec. Great car but very, very expensive to maintain.

[@nasarazam]

Can you eleborate on "very very expensive to maintain". Is this regular maintenance or Repairs?

[@richardellison9833]

Do it yourself.

[@burban98]

Good information. Very helpful.

[@TheGo4live]

Thank you for the video , i have a weird clicking noise when the engine is cold in my e250 cdi, i think it related to timing chain

[@methunshow]

If you find any car that is reliable these days, they made a mistake on the assembly line.

[@Es1777s]

? The e class is reliable

[@methunshow]

Edgar I had a 2008 E350 with problems after 10 years, keeping a eye on my 2015 E350. So far so good!

[@emirb.a.745d7]

[@ruso1962]

Excelent video, thanks!

[@Kmasse8]

great video dude, keep up the good work!

[@seahorsecaptain12]

Hi sir! I was thinking about getting a 2016 e400. Is there any difference in the reliability of the engine vs the e350?

[@TheFrenchPug]

How about E class from 2017 and up? Looking to get one for my wife in the U. S. here. We drive BMWs now and I do all my own repairs.

[@GurpreetHira]

The newer eclass has a different engine i believe the m276 and this has a m272 motors which are basically bulletproof if you buy 2008+ (older had balance shaft that was too soft) the 272 had a almost 15 year run and are known to be tanks towards the end of their run. Just make sure its oil changed on time, since it was such a long intervals takes 10qrts on each change.

I have a c300 now.. Havent had any problems other than my esl going out and a ripped driver seat cause im fat lol.. I will never change brands.. Merc all tge way.. I wanna purchase a coupe e class 2014-17.. Been looking and doing research

Very educative, thank you

[@azevedoantoniojalanejunior1792]

Amazing reviews! Simple and super informative. I am thinking to get the e63 can you give me some advice on it?

[@cosicave5179]

Thanks.

[@raresbogdansocaciu6893]

buy Eclass petrol and 100% was not use as a taxi or you can buy the petrol and coupe...but taxi cars in germani must be in perfect condition to pass the mechanical control. Eclass is a tank and because of this is use as a taxi because it goes 1 mill km

[@IDontExist14]

Thank you bro

[@laszlovona]

where are the unnecessary comments guessing about the accent? :)) Nice content as always! 👍

[@Komunalaren]

i have never own a mercedes only volvo but this mercedes looks good

[@EMclone]

I really like your reviews and it helped me a lot on buying some cars. I was wondering if you could do one for the coupe E class C207. Really appreciate it.

[@tiborsandor7300]

The Hungarian accent is killing me especially being Hungarian living abroad for almost 2 decades :) However the reviews are good

[@jameslatimer1432]

Hello buddy have you done. Video about the XC60 Volvo if not can you do a vid plz cheers buddy James 👍😊😊 god bless

[@ykhemesh72]

Great review

[@differentcarreview-dcr]

thanks!

[@mhackling]

Do the v6 3L diesel OM642 oil cooler seals leak in these often?

[@aduako7]

You are amazing!!! Love your reviews. Please help me decide between a 2015 W212 Bluetec (US Version) and 2015 Audi A8L TDI. Your opinion matters a lot to me. Thanks.

[@differentcarreview-dcr]

both are still young cars and they have very similar reliability so it’s completely up to you which one you prefer more, but very important is to change all the fluids in time(the fluid change interval chart is in my latest videos) and since both of these cars do have modern diesel engines - you should use them regularly on longer journeys generally speaking the air suspension in the A8 can whitstand a little more - approx 10 years, while the air suspension in this E class most probably won’t last that long

[@bigbluechopper24]

How long a journey would you suggest and how often? As I am about to buy a E220 - would prefer a petrol car as I don't do many miles but hardly any petrol E class cars for sale in the UK

[@yngvar2403]

Please make a review for the new E class. Thanks!!

[@tnic2606]

Hi! need your advice on my E280 V6 7G Y2007 mercedes. I have problem with the engine which cannot accelerate above 2500 rpm. it would "disengage and slow down". Accelerating does not help as engine does not respond. Message "ESP problem" appeared on the dashboard screen. What could be wrong?

[@radiradev1743]

It’s good to buy a Mercedes Benz E250diesel at 175 km ??please tell me
