The refined engine and air suspension make driving this car a very relaxed affair indeed, bit like sitting in a very comfy leather arm chair. It is a big brute of a car and there is no getting away from that, you do feel its size especially when it comes to parking. Fuel consumption is heavy but to be expected and the performance of the car definately makes up for this. We will be touring Europe in ours next Summer and I expect it to make all that driving a very enjoyable experience.

This car ticks all the boxes for me. 4wd but intermediate height so very easy to enter/exit. Incredibly comfortable, minimal wind and road noise. Huge load space with the new 5 seat configuration the last pair of seats now replaced with a very useful underfloor storage box. Very sure footed on variable camber and bumpy B roads. Best of many vehicles I have driven over a notorious stretch that unsettles many. 320D gives more than adequate acceleration and ultra quiet cruising. Quite thirsty round town but impressive 32 mpg on long trips. I’m delighted with my purchase and have no connection with MB or dealerships.

Best feature of this car is the steel folding roof. Everything about it is great, the ride either with the roof raised or not is luxury.

Quality all the way. Space and beautiful interior do not remotely compromise the drive and performance. Absolutely the best car you could drive.

I have owned my silver CLK230 for about 3 years and it is without doubt the best car that I personally have owned. During that time, I have had no serious problems at all, although I do take care to adhere to the maker’s maintenance schedule. In fact I have never driven it at top speed, although the book does claim 140+, it is the in between performance, ie acceleration etc., which has most impressed me. Foot down metal to metal, it is pleasure to watch in the rear view mirror all the traffic fading behind into the distance, it almost feel at times as if I must be leaving melted rubber on the highway ! The car handles well at all speeds (up to the 110 mph I have done in it so far), it grips the road well and is very responsive. Just, like other cars, be careful on wet road, especially with the wide tyres, as it can start to aquaplane at about 60mph. Inside, the front seats are very comfortable, but the rear seats are really only for occaisional use on short trips. All round quality, inside and out, is, as I expect from Mercedes, excellent. The car is a pleasure to own and drive, and her elegant lines still catch the eye, in spite of her age ! A bit thirsty on fuel as to be expected I suppose, but there has to be a down side somewhere ! A great car which I will not be selling, as it satidfies me completely.

The E estate has everything you would expect from a Mercedes, excellent performance, smooth, quiet drive and a high level of comfort for both driver and passenger. I’ve had mine for a little under 6 months now and I am very pleased that I chose this car. It has bags of space and is a real pleasure to drive. Good resale value too and not as expensive to run as you’d think.

This is not a cheap car but you do get value for your money. There are no negatives with this car, everything has been thought of from the refinement of the engine to the seats with built in massager. The exterior is as beautiful as the interior is luxurious. Safety, security, comfort, handling, space, everything is first rate as you would expect. I wouldn’t drive anything else.

An excellent, well built car. You sit high on the road and can see above other cars. In traffic this is a real bonus.

The traveliner makes an excellent vehicle for transporting up to 9 adults comfortably, with luggage. It also has the power to comfortably tow a trailer full of camping kit. My only complaint is that it is all but useless driving on grass!
