here in the UK there is a car advert on TV (cant remember the brand) with the slogan 'go fun yourself'. Mercedes should have a TV advert slogan 'go drive yourself'

Great review. UK prices are much less. £53k gets you a loaded 220d AMG Line estate (premium plus pack, multi beam leds, Widescreen, Comand, sir suspension, 20" wheels, Nappa etc). And you should get 15% discount on that

Id rather buy a well maintained W124 over this any day. Interestingly the prices for those have went up quite a bit recently. However you can still get some relatively good ones for around 4000€ with around 200,000 kilometers on the clock. Anyways nice review as always, keep up the good work!

Judging by the scratch marks the black bit around the infotainment controls is plastic. The upper dashboard trim is wood-ish. For safety reasons carmakers can't just put a plank of wood in a car, so it's just veneer, but that's as close to wood in a car, as it gets these days.
@samsonokoro50368 жыл бұрын
Very fair and detailed review, highly impressed with your work brother. This car is way over priced and with all that cheap plastic there's just no point. With 65-70k i would get a top range xf jaguar with better quality materials two tone leather seat combination and a better infotainment system two screens separated and the center screen is actually a great touchscreen like your high end smartphone. This car is damn too expensive for what it offers, it seems Benz nowadays are just living on previous brand name.

jaymum23 xf has cheap plastic on the console? Where? Do u mean the buttons? All cars apart from Rolls Royce use plastic buttons on the dash, doors center console. But the entire center console of the f type doesn't have plastic unless u r talking about the material used in making the cup holders which usually have metal outlines but made of plastic. I agree that the benz has a better interior design but don't blow it overboard by saying things that aren't true about the materials used. It's all leather, chrome, aluminium and wood finish in the xf interior with carbon fibre options etc. Excluding all buttons for controls which r all plastic
@samsonokoro50368 жыл бұрын
I am sorry all e classes, all s classes have plastic buttons in the car. I have checked out even the s 600 maybach throughly and there's plastic in the car. U r confusing all the buttons being made of aluminium with the surrounding coated with aluminium. Check out what holds the TV monitors of the s class maybach at the rear, it is housed by plastic but coloured to match the Interior. Go look at what comes in a rolls Royce instead. In terms of using the highest quality materials not a single car manufacturer is on the level of a rolls Royce. Then as regards the xf, i guess u know the car comes with a lot of options and is still cheaper than its comparable rival from benz option for option and model for model. The xf has plastic materials especially the buttons all round the car I have already admitted that and this e class has plastic buttons as well, u r only looking at the buttons on the center dash and thinking that is enough justification to say the e class has no plastic buttons. The Benz is a great car but it no longer has the wow factor it used to over its rivals that's just fact. Mercedes-Benz no longer bring out radical incredible designs, some of their cars now share border line designs with Korean cars. Look at the Jaguar and what they keep dishing out, the xf is just a far more beautiful car to behold exterior than the e class. Look at the xe same against the c class. Look at the xjl same against the s class. There's the f pace that is just jaw dropping gorgeous compare that with the ml or gle or gl from Benz. Mercedes-Benz has just lost that wow factor they used to have, I am a merc fan. Grew up with the s class, my family owned one and drove several other Mercs in my 20's etc. But since the last two generations of s class, c class and e class Benz no longer wow most people. They are no longer head turners, yes some of their sports cars still have that effect but the major sellers no longer.
@cawimmer4307 жыл бұрын
And a Jaguar has no plastic buttons? Pretty much all modern luxury cars have plastic buttons which are often silver-colored to imitate chrome or metal. The only luxury cars I can think off which use real metal/chrome in their interiors are Bentley and Rolls Royce. And calling the new Mercedes' interiors "cheap".... really? This whole "This interior is better than that interior!" crap is just that: BULLSHIT. It's a highly subjective and personal issue. Funny how these new Mercedes' interiors are getting a lot of praise from reviewers for their quality and feel...

The E Class has had a squeaky dashboard for a while now. I noticed it in every single E class taxi I took in Berlin, and there was a lot of them. They started suffering from the Audi disease, their entire lineup looks exactly the same. Also, the double screens on the dashboard are the worst design choice EVER for a car of this stature. I hate them more than I hate Hitler. Mercedes lost its mojo. I'm expecting the new generation BMW 5 series to wipe the floor with the E Class.

W124 quality has to be a thing of the past now that Benz is outselling Ford, GM etc in most markets from the U.S.,Europe to Australasia. I'm not too worried as a future auto drive system is fabulously enticing tech esp as 90% of driving for us is boring and overpoliced. I'm a bit too old maybe to really take to the screens. Aka were I a pilot I'd still like analogue gauges (um Airbus v Boeing!). Great car anyway!
