Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet E350 CDI BlueEFF. SE 2dr Review

For Merc's super V6 diesel mated to a seven-speed automatic gearbox suits this car down to the ground, and the standard suspension is the ideal set-up to enjoy every facet of the journey.

Against The V6 diesel is efficient, but you'll still need pretty deep pockets – especially if you’re running it as a company car. Aircap wind deflector works brilliantly, but takes the edge off the car's looks.

What Car? says

4 out of 5 stars

The best mid-sized convertible of all for four-up top-down motoring and, with this engine, gearbox and chassis, it's probably at its most irresistible.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

The trouble with four-seater convertibles is that they're only fun if you're in one of the front seats. Anyone in the back is likely to look as if they've been pulled through a hedge backwards after a trip with the top down.

Not so the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet. With its standard Aircap system – pop-up wind deflectors on top of the windscreen and between the rear headrests – you sit in what Mercedes calls 'a bath of warm air', free of the buffeting found in rival convertibles. It doesn't exactly add to the car's looks, but from the inside you're not going to be worried about that.

In other respects it pretty much offers the same choices as the E-Class Coupé. There are seven engine choices, manual and automatic transmissions and standard or sport suspension set-ups.
