What Car? says
For Refined, stylish, and impressively spacious
Against Running costs; reliability questions
Verdict A great estate car with bags of class
Go for… E280 CDI Avantgarde
Avoid… E500 Sport
- 1. The Mercedes is one of the best estates available, with up to 1950 litres of boot space and easy-to-fold rear seats
- 2. The majority of E-Class examples are automatics; manuals are less desirable unless fitted to the smaller-capacity engines
- 3. Only consider a petrol model if it’s cheap and you don’t intend to cover many miles
- 4. The automatic gearbox can be temperamental and, in the worst cases, owners could face a substantial replacement fee
- 5. Some E-Class suffer mystery electrical issues, which can affect anything from the alarm to the parking sensors. The tailgate mechanism can also cause problems
