What Car? says
For Masses of interior space, comfortable and safe
Against Hasn't got the sporty drive of a BMW 5 Series
Verdict
A lot of car for the money
Go for… E320 CDi Avantgarde
Avoid… E200 Classic
- 1. The E-Class is a great long-distance cruiser, but it doesn't handle as sharply as a BMW 5-Series
- 2. Make sure the suspension has been serviced according to the schedule. The front suspension needs new bushes every 60,000 miles
- 3. A few electrical problems have been reported, but most are easily fixed
- 4. Diesels are the best engines, with the E320CDi our favourite
- 5. As on any Mercedes, manual gearboxes aren't great, so stick with the automatics
