What Car? says
For Has just the right image; it's smooth and comfortable, too
Against BMW’s 5-series is - just - better to drive and quicker
Verdict
Leads the pack for refinement and space
Go for… E200 Classic auto
Avoid… E500 Sport
- 1. If you stick to the smaller engines and basic Classic trim, you get 99% of what’s best about the car at a value price
- 2. The cabin is solidly screwed together and should remain rattle-free
- 3. If you're looking at an E320 CDI, ask the previous owner if it has suffered starting problems
- 4. It's important to choose the right colour: pale metallics hold their value best, dark blue and green the worst
- 5. An E-class is costly to insure, with even the cheapest models in group 15
