"Impressive comfort and quality help make the Mercedes E-Class one of the world's best-selling executive cars."

[@pvultureb8341]

The centre clock has been a pedigree of luxury and elegance of Executive cars like this. Has nothing to do with Chinese.

[@yesitwasme118]

Exactly, its vinate feeling and its awesome

[@romeatyes3473]

This E Class looks much better than the latest ones. And better quality too

[@FretFreak02]

No wonder the E-class is driven so much as a Taxi in the Netherlands. It offers the perfect mix between luxury, reliability and space. And about people saying the interior looks cheap: the probably never sat or driven in one :P get behind the weel and then tell us how it feels. It's absolutely superb.

What do you mean "what's with the clock?" The analogue clock clearly makes it more exclusive and elegant.

+soap Box Mercedes is a solid car of course, but how's the maintenance cost?

[@petersmith9320]

+CY The first service was included in the price of the car when it was new. Its been serviced another twice since, I take it to an independant mercedes service centre that charge about half the price of a main dealer. Total service costs to date Approx £340 Next service due in about 3 months when it will be 4 years old. I expect the next service to be more as it will need new pads and disc's brakes. The only other cost has been tyres. Its now done 37500 miles still no faults. Its just been great!

[@shazzakhan99]

Just took the E250 CDi (Australian spec) for an overnight test drive, and I have to say, it is easily one of the best cars available right now. The sheer amount of technological advances made in this vehicle are phenomenal. I'm definitely buying it !

[@stumaclean111]

My 2011 E550 has a brake assist whereby you can push the brake pedal or stab it with your foot and it acts as a hand brake. Works great on hills; just push the accelerator and off you go without sliding backwards.

[@SanDiegoInnOut]

I have MB Text in mine and although you can SLIGHTLY tell the difference, I love it. It is nearly the same as leather and the durability is outstanding.

[@rajpurewal9615]

I have a bmw 640i I love it don't know what u r on about

[@sliwka621]

***** I hate BMW's because they have absolutely rubbish quality so I'm not speaking in their favor, but I've sat in the new E-class and the interior looks and feels worse than a Kia. Really, really plasticky and the leather looks and feels worse than an old handbag from C&A. * "leather"

[@sliwka621]

***** No, not at all. It's just that this particular Mercedes that I've sat in few day's ago made me think of an Opel Astra, but with even worse leather imitation. The engine was loud at idle, the gearbox jerked when I selected a gear and the panel gaps were noticable, both on in and outside. Althou the car looked nice (form a far, excluding the wheels) and the navigation screen was sharp and clear. About the BMW's, I've recently heard a story form a friend that somebody bought a BMW and it lasted him literally half a year. After that it was in such a poor condition that he needed to get rid of it as fast as possible. Not to mention that almost every BMW owner who I know sells his car and buys a new one every 2 years. People who keep their BMW's for longer all have had up to 5, I'm not exaggerating, five engine swaps. And Audi's 2.5 TDI blows up randomly. So that's some of my expirience with German "luxury" cars.

[@sliwka621]

I don't care if it's real leather or not, what I want is a waterproof material that can be easily cleaned, it's generaly leather because my cars always have white interiors, and it must be easy to clean.

You mean black & white interiors? Cos otherwise would be very exhausting for the eyes and you'd have annoying reflections on windows, all in all quite distracting from a comfortable quality ride.

I completely agree with you. As far as I am concerned the last elegant E class was the w211 02 -09. My dad has an E320 Cdi Sport 2007 and I think once the new one came out in 2009 the w212 they ruined it.

I've had two new E-classes over the years. Never again. I can say, however, that the "faux leather" M-B Tex material is excellent. I found it much better than leather in all respects.

[@samwayne9000]

Driven one (e220 cdi AMG kit 63 reg) and like he said paddle shifters are slow unless you have e350+ engines. Gives me about 45-47 mpg on 200 miles of motorway driving. City driving expect around 35mpg. I preferred the music system of predecessor model (w212) although the sat nav is very accurate but can be tiresome entering the destination ever time. The swivel wheel feels cheap plastic and once again the w212 had a better swivel wheel. It'll be bit cosy got three adults at back since transmission tunnel is almost biggest I've seen in a car. But the boot is pretty satisfactory for cars size. Any other questions hit me up!

Aa Idris drove it about 25k miles, no issues. Got the 2015 E350 diesel with 9 gears. Best thing ever until some girl crashed and wrote off the car! Now I'm on 2018 e220 diesel with 9 gears too. the 3 litre is a very smooth engine and better than 2 litre. Also the 2018 e class sound system is very cheap. If you're looking at 2013 models, I'd recommend looking for 9 gears if you can. It's a day and night difference. Also mpg is about 5-10 more. If you have any specific questions I've been through every e class since 2009, so ask away!

[@jiujitsuhuntsman]

I need a vehicle for motorway cruising so getting the best mpg is important. A4 2015, A6 2015 and E220 BlueTec 2015 facelifts are on the list. 1. How reliable has your E220 been? 2. What are the typical problems on an E220 and what's a rough figure to maintain/service the vehicle. Please and thanks.

It makes perfect sense.

[@mik4734]

[@Box0rz]

I still like the new look of the E-class, although it's a bit weird. In general, I think Mercedes has tried making their recent cars more sporty, attacking BMW directly. This is a stupid move in my opinion, because I think BMW and Mercedes represent completely different styles of premium cars. BMWs are like premium cars for younger people, they got "SWAG", while Mercedes is for a bit older people, and it has "CLASS".
