Mercedes-Benz E-Class Saloon 320CDI Sport 2006

5 star review

I purchased my E-320 CDI Sport new in 2006. Considering I usually change my car at the outside every 3 years and usually 2 years you can tell how happy I have been with this mile munching motorway express. I had been totally against diesel until I was persuaded by the Merc agent to try it. I pulled away and challenged the sales guy that it was Petrol. I can’t believe what an all rounder it is. If you want acceleration especially mid range it is there. If you want more economy it is there. On a trip at reasonable speed I have returned over 44 MPG, not bad for the weight. I do intend to change it soon for the latest E-Class but I have to say it will be a sad day when this one goes. Saying that I am thinking of selling my wife’s Mondeo and keeping my baby. Yes with everything I chose on it it was £44,000 but when you arrive after a 3 hour journey as chilled out as when you left it is worth it in my opinion. I have to say the only outlay I have made for it is servicing and tyres oh of course diesel. I quickly worked out that you don’t have to pay main dealer prices and found a small garage fully Merc approved at nearly half the cost with a Merc trained mechanic. Merc did go through a rough patch a few years back but now I feel they are back at the top where they belong.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Saloon 220 CDI Avantgarde 2006

5 star review

Absolutely delighted with this car. This is the new generation model and it just has that something special about it. Only one thing niggles me, why is the steering wheel not central to the driver; it is offset about 1 1/2 inches to the left (RHD) and although you get used to it I just find it hard to accept in this otherwise excellent car. Dealers have been reasonable but they really could do better. The fixed pricing isn’t really fixed as there is always an extra required, however they are way cheaper that Citroen in every respect. Plus I always get a free valet and coffee with the local dealer. Didn’t get that from Citroen... never even got a free wash. That said I still rate this as 10/10. By far the best car I have ever owned. This is my 45th car. Think I will keep this for a long time yet. 58,000 effortless comfortable miles. The wife liked it so much she recently converted to buy a Merc too.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Saloon E 220 CDI 2006

5 star review

Recently purchased an E 220 CDI automatic (Dec 2006) after running a C class for 5 years and have to say I’m over the moon with the car. Performance is very impressive considering the size and weight of the vehicle. MPG is quite amazing considering how my wife drives it! Overall a beautifully engineered car that just loves motorways. No problems to date with the mechanics and electrics and the finish is what I would come to expect from a £34000 motor car. Being a good 6 feet 2 inches tall there is ample room in the front and no problems with large persons in the rear. I definitely think that the one very positive item required on this vehicle is Parktronic. When fitted parking is a doddle! Without it, you have to just hope that you judgement is good enough not to bump the back in those tight parking spaces. Overall an excellent car and one I’m very pleased to own and run.
