Why You NEED To Buy A Mercedes

[@andreibolozan7616]

My dad had to buy a “family car” back in 2006 when my little brother came along, and I remember I was 5 years old when we had flown to the Frankfurt dealership to buy this car. He got a e320 amg wagon, with a v6 3.0 liter, and he drives it to this very day. I remember when he bought it the guy at the dealership gifted him a mercedes watch, and he gifted it to me when I turned 18. It’s currently sitting at only 180000kms, but it probably resembles my entire childhood when I see a w211. Absolute beauty.

Thinking of getting a w211 e220cdi, did you have any problems with it or any heads up I should be prepared for?

[@kristoffer3000]

@@HURRlCANEVIEWS If you can get a facelift version as they fixed a lot of problems, the SBC system being a big one. It's quite a lot quicker than the pre-facelift 220cdi as well with a far broader torque band and it uses less fuel, an absolutely wonderful engine that pulls at any rpm. They're very very reliable cars so just check that everything works, check for rust in the rear wheelarches, in the framerails under the hood and the shock towers, should be easy to spot if there is anything, also check for leaks but that's the same as with every car, take the engine cover off and look around the injectors, it should be dry and not have any black smudge, aka black death. The gearbox should be smooth, no hard clunks and no hesitation to get into gear. High kilometers wouldn't scare me at all with one of them, both my w210 and w211 had 300k km's and drove like new cars and were dead nuts reliable. They're extremely good cars so I doubt you'll regret your decision.

[@bekabeka71]

@@kristoffer3000I don’t there are any significant differences between pre facelift and facelift versions apart from exterior minor changes

[@kristoffer3000]

@@bekabeka71 There are, the SBC braking system got removed and that's a major failure point on the pre-facelift ones, steering wheel is entirely different with buttons that aren't terrible, diesels got extensive changes that make them more reliable, more efficient and faster with a broader powerband, electric issues got fixed etc etc There's a very solid case to be made for ignoring the pre-facelift ones and only looking at facelift cars, they're that much better.

You don´t get different tail lights depending on the styleing edition. The different tail lights are because of different manufacturing dates of the car. Between 2002 and 2006 the lights were the older ones with separated transparent bars. Between 2006 and 2009 the transparent bars turned into one transparent middle section. This was for all cars.

What a great review of my beloved workhorse! One of the best, and great english. I drove cca 100.000 miles in 2006 220 cdi avantgarde estate, and 2008 320 cdi sport saloon - and still you showed me some new tricks! Let me give you... some more features, haha 🙂 1. you can pull inner side of the sunshade off and rotate it towards your side window when sun is from the side - and pull it out so it reaches precisely into the corner of the door window! ... and there is a SECOND sunshade to pull down for the front windscreen 🙂. I love it. You can do that on passenger side as well while feeling sorry for all the peasants suffering low sun conditions :-P 2. If you are a grumpy and stocky old man, later versions have "easy entry" - steering wheel rolls up when you open the car, and then after you close the door, back down into driving position - easy entry with pockets full of phone, keys, wallet etc. 3. some saloons have two (one for 2/3, one for 1/3) rear seat release switches in the trunk. So you can actually fold the rear seats comfortably from the rear. The front seats will lean up by themselves whn you release rear seats to allow easier folding. 3.1.: you can pull the bottom of rear seat out and lean it against front seats, and THEN lower the backrest (pull out the headrest) - getting a perfect flat surface with the trunk. 4. You can connect your iphone/android to AUX exit in glove compartment and play spotify music through it - or listen to google maps navigation on car speakers. It is far worse than digital connectivity of later models, but it does work - in a car from stone age! 5. You navigation CD is in the trunk. There are late versions of updated cd/dvd's up to 2016 roads available on ebay I believe. 5. You have I think 3 versions of the trunk: A). just a huge empty trunk with some underfloor compartments, B). trunk with two extra seats (collapsible under floor) for your less desirable sidekicks (like your girlfriend's mother, or a friend's friend, or perhaps wife's children from previous relationships - things like that), 3. version with special hidden compartment BETWEEN rear seat and the boot - very rare! - people intelligent enough to spot it have a much better job than being a traffic cop. Could be very useful in certain occupations 🙂 6. self-closing trunk doors when not closing properly. So no slamming, just lean the trunk door close and the mechanism pulls them in and shuts. Some late models have fully electric trunk door (open/close).

[@Michael.Chapman]

As an enthusiastic owner of a 2005 W211 E350 AvantGarde, thank you for this superb video--one of the best, even showing features of the SBC that I didn't know. These W211 cars are awesome--this is why I still drive one as the car approaches 20 years of age. At 7:54 we see one of the potential faults of the series. If over exposed to sunlight and heat (as happens here in Australia) you'll find the stitched seams at the top edge of the rear seats deteriorates and splits--and interior headlining can begin to detach from its base (fixed with discrete spiral pins which help prevent ongoing deterioration). Exterior rubber trim below the windscreen (replaced for $850Au), secondary trim underneath at the boot edges and at the base of the side windows also degrades. I therefore now garage my 350 under cover. Before the E350 I owned the brilliant W124 300E--selling it when it was age 28. The 300E had no such upholstery or rubber issues and shows that the E-Class suffered in build quality under the period of Chrysler's ownership of Daimler-Benz. BTW, loved the gutsy sound of the small turbodiesel, something I never expected :-)

[@market_car]

Thanks for the tips Mr. Chapman! It's really nice to see people take care of their W211s like you are doing!

[@whlawson5812]

Exterior rubber trim, below the windshield, is the cowling. Use a new cutter to cut off the 1.7m long X 5mm strip of broken aged rubber on the cowling. Buy 2m length x 25mm strip of MetalSeal rubber, online, one side is self sealing for just a few dollar. Clean the glass & old cowling for oil free & dry. Then apply the sealing tape. 😂😂

[@SkvalaGaming]

The thing with these Mercs is that you always want to go for the bigger engine. For example the difference in fuel consumption between the smallest 220CDI and 320CDI is only 0.6l more per 100KM. 320CDI is at 7.3l per 100km combined and 6.7l per 100km for the 220CDI.

Thanks a lot Jablarz! Appreciate it. To be honest I was really surprised when I found out the Mercedes-Benz W211 is the third generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class made from 2001 to 2009 in sedan/saloon and station wagon/estate configurations - replacing the W210 E-Class models and superseded by the Mercedes-Benz W212 in 2009. The C219, marketed as the CLS, was introduced as a niche model in 2005, based on W211 mechanicals. Launched in 2002 for the 2003 model year, the W211 E-Class was another evolution of the previous model. Before North American sales began, the car was shown in the 2002 movie Men in Black II.[7][8][9] The W211 development program began in 1997, followed by design work. The final designs were chosen in 1999, and German patents were filed on December 18, 2000 utilizing an E 500 prototype. Development ended in 2001 after 48 months, at a total cost of €2 billion. Pilot production went into testing in the summer of 2001, and the W211 E-Class debuted at the Brussels Motor Show in January 2002. The W211 Platform was also the base foundation for which the newly reintroduced Chrysler LX cars were engineered from (Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Dodge Magnum).[10][11][12]

[@elsombero1747]

I would personally recommend the E320 with Gasoline+LPG GAs or a E320 CDI ( only with OM 648.961 engine) with the automatic gearbox. It's like a Tank. You can't go wrong with this version. But attention! This version only came with automatic gearbox and it never had 4matic (4x4) setup! If you find a E320 CDI with 4matic and or manual transmission, stay away from it. I managed to get over 840.000km with it before my insurance totaled it after an accident but I'm currently looking again for the E320 CDI or the E320 Gasoline version with LPG Gas injection (Best gasoline engines for the E320 are M112.949 V6 224hp and M112.954 V6 224 which is a great alternative since it came with 4matic)

[@thegamecreed133]

Yeah, but the mpg is probably worse than a v8 crown vic. With the diesel 2.2 you get 40 mpg easily.

[@draganz32]

e320cdi gets better fuel consumption than 220 cdi

[@thedarktiger7734]

few mistakes but its okay , a few things that seem general are not actually general for example the starting ( the pulse on the key without holding that was not acctually available on classic or elegance models ) , the sbc is not actually that bad if it breaks , it will be expensive but it doesnt cut the breaks just so you know it has 2 backups 1 is your emergency brake which most likely doesnt hold which is typical mercedes also you have a mecanical break , so when the pump goes in any state of error which can be a pump failure or a cilinder /brake line failure it will disable completly and it will switch to the mecanical version which a small master cilinder pushing brake fluid in to the front wheels braking sistem and only the front with about 20% of the maximum power that the pump would of produce and that also helps a lot because its not loosing the rest of the fluid by disabling the pump because the rear wheels have some issues with pipes and they corrode and break which is common on mercedes of that era and they took that in consideration in my oppinion with only having brakes in the front as a backup ,also the trunk is not automatic is spring loaded and the latch is electronic and that was only on sedans where the estates didnt have that option nor the button on key or door but instead on estate you had soft close , also yours is smoking quiet a bit looks like injectors because its black , sbc s is not available for all of them aswell no matter the trim level i own a very well spec avantgarde with even the dynamic driver seat with the pulsing option like an old massage and well on mine sbc s doesnt actually exist was never part of the enabled features it can be enabled being only part of the module but its not by factory . also the cluster had 3 designs classic one is the one you didnt show which is like the elegance but missing the chrome accent , and you can retrofit the cls ones which are similar in design but looks way cooler and more retro , on top of that many were optionals not standard so all w211 are very different in configuration even with the same trim level from textile seats to leather seats with heating in the front and rear seats too , options for 7 seats on the estate and many many more , also the gearbox had w/s on some where on other c/s which was actually read by many comfort /sport (btw thats bs if you ever put a tester on it the gearbox only reads w/s which stands for winter and summer) also is a very slow gearbox having an open torque converter which can make all gears slip for the sake of comfort sometimes making it feel like a cvt and its kinda annoying if you hate cvt like me :)) also if you would have the 4 zone climate control you will curse your days because it goes all the way to 12 degrees celsius which means a much more expensive ac compressor and when i say much more expensive i mean 3 times the price of the 2 zone climate control to keep that in mind ..... btw i have the 4 zone climate control its not fun when the ac compressor breaks... also on the estate they have a very nice self leveling rear being on air bags well all i can say is the bags last pretty well but the compressor is a pain , its not expensive if its only the standard one but sometimes it will make you blame the bags and those are expensive , if you have the airmatic front and back then the compressor is much more expensive and so are bags in the front as they come with the shock absorber and many other details about these cars , they are great cars still decent on economy but a pain in the ass when anything breaks .

i have never ever seen a w211 that you have to hold the key to start it and i,ve had a couple of them ( same with w210 actually), the only Mercedeses later than 1990s ive seen that you have to hold the key in start pos to start is my GFs w169 (A-class). They were made like that since they were available with keyless go as extra equipment. This goes with all trim levels.

[@halvaraspegren7635]

Suppose thats some of the first modells then? Since this is a heritage from older models ( w210 etc) i doubt it even was an option but standard equipment on all trims.

Maybe because the stronger engines had too much torque so they skipped first gear normally?

[@Delatra]

@@market_car I don't think so, my dad has an e320 and it doesn't skip any gears, it's probably cause since there's a stronger engine, there's the sport option but if you want less fuel consumption you put it on comfort, which also lessens the rpms at full throttle. On sport they go to the max 5k rpm (for a diesel) while on comfort around 4k. But there probably is some truth to the amount of torque. Edit: Another thing i wanna point out, also a reason why it has C/S is because its a higher tier class compared to a classic e220. So Avantgarde has C/S, as for Elegance i dont know. But im sure classic has the W/S. My dad has an Avantgarde so i know an Avantgarde has C/S.

How you compare it to the BMW E39 regarding interior build quality, driving experience... and ultimately, which one would you choose and why? Keep up the good work!

[@market_car]

I'd take the E39 because I prefer a more sporty car. The Mercedes is very luxurious and quirky but it doesn't feel that sporty. Thank you!

I have a 2004 CLK500 that I bought last year (I live in Wisconsin, but bought it from California, so rust-free but peeling interior leather from the sun), and it has mostly the same features as the E Class in the video. Great car overall, but has some things I'm not entirely happy about - and they're all about dependability. It was a one owner vehicle. with a pretty good maintenance history. While I was driving it home (2,300 mi / 3,700 km drive in three days, which I realize is a stress in and of itself), one of the valve cover gaskets started leaking. I knew they were replaced in 2021, so must not have been a great job. Got it home, repaired at a MB dealership. Pricy! I was then pretty upset when my crankshaft position sensor broke at 58,.000 mi (94,000 km). I have not seen those going bad even in cheap Russian cars under 150,000 km before. Thankfully. I had other cars to drive while I was waiting for the $30 sensor and a couple of tools to arrive from Amazon. It was a pain in the butt to replace it, but I was able to do it myself (unlike the 4 and 6-cylinder engines, the V8 CPS is on the back of the block, so it was a very tight squeeze with my fat hands). Before I put the car away in storage last fall, my rear half-window wouldn't go down more than 3 cm (turned out to be a bad regulator), so the auto-adjust function on the driver's door window wouldn't work either... $1,000 later, the regulator was replaced and everything works fine again. Can't say I wasn't expecting stuff to break on a 20 y. o. Merc. but still... It's pretty low mileage. That's not to mention small but annoying things like a corroded connector to a fog light. I wasn't in the mood to order a new one, so I just hooked up the female connectors to the lightbulb and wrapped the whole thing up with electrical tape. After rereading this whole things, it feels like I'm lamenting the purchase. Not really! I love driving this car (I call her Monica), and the naturally aspirated 5-liter V8 sound is like music for my ears. Plus, I've always kinda wanted a convertible, but never felt like they were a great choice. With the pillarless coupe, however, I roll all the windows down, open the sunroof - and feels pretty much like a convertible without the problems that would typically bring!

[@halvaraspegren7635]

The answer is in the question, putting any car to storage is asking for problems actually. Higher meleage is better than storage time as long as its well maintained, the cars are made to be used not stored. I understand that you might not want to drive your precious gem in wintertime, but unfortunately these things are to be expected on any brand/model when put to storage.

[@Jaderrun]

@@halvaraspegren7635 I’m afraid you didn’t read too closely. All of these issues arose before I put in in storage.

[@halvaraspegren7635]

@@Jaderrun my bad, usually this is a thing when cars are put to storage but of course things can go bad on an older car, actually things happen on a new car aswell.

Great review, shame you don't like the leather on the doors I think it's lovely. Though I much prefer light coloured or brown/red interiors to black myself and I prefer the E320 CDI. That SBC S feature is news to me, I'll have to try it out when I'm next in such a car seems very ahead of it's time and I'm surprised no one else reviewing one of these has mentioned it.

[@market_car]

Definitely better than plastic or something similar but I much prefer how BMW did it on the E39. I'm also a light interior guy. Didn't know about SBC S either until the owner told me about it. I was astounded. Thanks!

More expensive than a Toyota, on par with BMW, less than a Rolls Royce.

Fenomenalan video, svaka čast. I tvoj engleski je odličan, bravo. Živim u Italiji i udata sam za Italijana kome je bio san da ima E220 CDI EVO Avantgarde i pre mesec dana sam mu ispunila taj san i poklonila takav auto, ali u varijanti station wagon pošto imamo 2 psa. Iskreno nikad ga nisam videla tako sretnog, kao malo dete je oduševljen ovim autom. I ja moram da priznam da je neverovatno udoban auto i ide savršeno, pri brzini od 185km/h ima se osećaj da ide 80km/h, jer je skroz stabilan. Nisam znala za sve ove "cake", a mislim da ni suprug ne zna sve, tako da jedva čekam da ga iznenadim nekim trikom. 😅

[@trombulan]

Hello! Do you recommend restyling or non restyle car?

[@market_car]

It's personal preference because the changes (at least the visual ones) weren't that huge. But I would prefer facelift for the better looking steering wheel which you look at all the time, and the more modern appearance outside. But again, this car has one of the least obvious restylings of probably any Mercedes so if you can get a better deal, or buy a better car, with a pre-facelift it's not a problem. Good luck

From a w211 user, the manual version is way better, specially if you have the e220 facelift or the e280 (the highest engine version you can have with the manual gearbox). e220 facelift do 0-100 in 8.4/8.6s

8.4 is quick for the 2.2 you probably had the 170hp or stage 1 on it the regular 150hp does it in about 10s i have the automatic it does it in around 11.5s and my cousin has the sedan manual and it does it in around 10s
