Mercedes-Benz E-Class Saloon 220CDI 2009

5 star review

What a car! It drives so well and has good grip on our Australian roads. It is so comfortable, it makes you feel safe and it responds easily to different driving conditions. This is my third purchase of a new Benz and the E 220CDI is by far the best I have had the pleasure of owning.

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 280 CDI Avantgarde 2005

1 star review

I bought the car January 2007 with 14000 miles on the clock (now 39000). Since then I have had nothing but bother with it. Repairs as follows: March 2007 OCP draining battery August 2007 Turbo Charger and Inlet Port Motor replaced - September 2007 Holding in gear (not repaired) - April 2008 Holding in gear (not repaired) - October 2008 Glow plugs replaced January 2009 Ball joint and O2 sensor replaced and oil leak at camshaft repaired - February 2009 Inlet Port Motor replaced - March 2009 (today): When I stopped the car after about 15 minutes the fan came on and would not go off until I re-inserted the key. The sidelights switched themselves on and the car would not start. I had to call the service engineer. It is off tomorrow to the dealer again. Since I bought the car it holds in 5th gear. I have tried kick-down, accelerating, manual but nothing helps. I just have to wait until it decides to change itself. When taken to the dealer ’Computer says No’ Re February 2009 Inlet Port Motor above I was in the process of an overtake when the power just died. I nearly had a head on with an oncoming car. I have complained both to the dealer and Mercedes with no luck. I have to say I love driving the car but the reliability leaves a lot to be desired. First and last Mercedes.

Philip Primrose, Sussex

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.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Saloon 200 Classic Kompressor 2008

5 star review

The E-class was a real return to form for Mercedes. They went back to basics and made everything practical and efficient. This is the Mercedes-Benz quality that I had until recently become accustomed to, I fully expect the engine to outlive me. Performance is stunning on either A-roads or motorways and Mercedes have taken the safety element very seriously, there are airbags in every important position and the 5 star EuroNCAP rating backs up the large feeling of security. The number one luxury saloon.

5 star review

Lovely to drive, mpg outstanding, can’t fault it but reliability does let it down to be fair. Mercedes do sort it out but previous motor a subaru legacy never missed a beat never mind three electrical failured in three years on a 40 grand car just ain’t good enough. WOULD I BUY ANOTHER ONE, YES. JENNY COOKE

5 star review

latest model is certainly the best E-Class to date. Rear head room is not great, but everything else is excellent. I leased mine. Because the residual values are very good the leasing prices were reasonable. Very pleased.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Saloon

5 star review

I now have the best e class ever. Having had 2 previously - both 270 CDI I was always happy despite the odd electrical fault on the early production. Now I have just bought a 320 CDI Sport & quite frankly nothing compares - an absolute joy to drive and it handles superbly. If you’ve never had paddle gear change then you don’t know what you are missing. A superb vehicle - well done Mercedes.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Saloon 220 CDI Elegance

4 star review

I'm on my third Mercedes now. Overall they are excellent cars but the only reason I have not given a 5 star rating is due to reliability. I have had electrical problems with all three, but even so, the Mercedes aftersales service is excellent, speedy call out service, free courtesy car, etc.

5 star review

This isn’t my first Mercedes but is my first E Class having previously driven two C Class cars before this. My father has driven Mercs for the past 20 years and it was he who was looking at buying one of the latest E Class cars. I was so impressed when I tagged along (as you do) to the dealership with him that I ended up arranging a test drive and…well, you can guess the rest. Beautiful car.
