What Car? says
For Refined, classy and well finished
Against Not the best car to drive; reliability questions
Verdict A great executive model that's majors on comfort and refinement
Go for… E220 CDI Avantgarde
Avoid… E350 Sport
- 1. The E-Class places the emphasis on ride comfort, but it is also enjoyable to drive with reasonable handling
- 2. Of the eight engines available, the diesels are by far the best options
- 3. The majority of E-Class examples are automatics; manuals are less desirable unless fitted to the smaller-capacity engines
- 4. Emissions for the diesels range from 167g/km to 194g/km, while the petrols don’t fare as well, with start at 195g/km, and rise to 273g/km
- 5. The automatic gearbox can be temperamental and, in the worst cases, owners could face a substantial replacement fee
