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.

My C Class is the fourth of its generation. I opted for the diesel and the 40+ MPG. The high quality is evident in every aspect of this car. The steering is more responsive than in previous models and the ride is smooth and comfortable. I think that the price tag of around £22,000 offers good value for money and decent residual values make it a sound option when buying or leasing. The C Class is a spacious, comfortable car with a respectable selection of engines.

Mercedes have got it spot on with this car. It has everything you could hope for from an estate and more. Not only is ot a joy to drive but it’s a real handsome devil of a car. Prices are good too and when you consider what you’re getting - a car that will run and run - I actually think it’s a bit of a bargain. Space wise it’s HUGE. Can’t think of another car I’ve owned that I would mark 5 out of 5.

Another well designed car from Mercedes. I’ve had this for only two weeks but already it has impressed me. This car can really work when you need to push it and goes like a bat out of hell when you want it to. It’s a very understated car unlike the BMW 3-series but it’s all there in the drive and it’s no less fun for being, dare I say, slightly classier. Excellent safety features as you’d expect and want in a family car and great use of space too. MPG is in the 40’s bracket so all good there too. Excellent car.

Just about to say goodbye to my C320 which has provided outstanding trouble free motoring for the last two years. Exhilarating ride, superb comfort and awesome acceleration. Could not fault this vehicle even if I tried hard, its a beautiful car to drive offering luxurious finish and status. I am about to take delivery of my new E-Class and hope that it is just as good as the vehicle I have enjoyed for the last few years. Previous vehicle was a 5 Series BMW 525 Dse Auto, not a patch on the Mercedes for Style, Comfort, Power and most importantly Looks and Quality feel. Well done Mercedes !!!!!

Without doubt the best car I have owned. From new I have now done nearly 30k miles in it without a hitch. Performance is brisk, especially in the midrange, with all that torque available. The 7 speed auto box is good, but can jerk if you’re about to stop but then decide to set off (the ’box doesn’t know whether to go for 1st, keep 2nd or engage 3rd!) again. The flappy paddle option is handy for overtaking (press and hold the ’down’ paddle, and the car adopts best gear for acceleration - a bit more controlled than kickdown). Fit and finish seems good, with no niggles, although the windscreen can mist up (even on AUTO c/c) if you encounter freezing fog or snow. Rather annoying. Heated seats are just wonderful, and have 3 heat settings you can switch on any time (unlike my old Renault Laguna). Satnav works well in the COMAND system, but you can’t play DVDs on it, like in the E class. The iPod option works very well, controllable from the speedo centre display (artists, tracks etc displayed there). The Pirelli PZero Rossos the car came with (on 18in AMG rims) don’t last long! And the rims are an absolute swine for kerb damage. The car aquaplanes very easily in the wet, and an injudicious prod on the throttle (with all those foot-pounds on tap) will have the back end of the car all over the place if you’re not pointing it straight (and a wiggle if you are!). It is *very* easy to have the rears scrabbling for grip as you set off, especially on uneven roads - even in ’comfort’ mode on the gearbox (which doesn’t use first, and changes up early). Michelin pilot sports on the back of this car (255/35/18) last longer, but wet grip is significantly worse than the short-lived (read 10k) PZero Rossos. You may find you’ll live longer if you change the tyres just *before* you’re down to the wear indicators if you’re an enthusiastic driver. Good boot size, and fair room in the back for 2 smallish adults! Oh, and not as fuddy-duddy as some of the other models in the range. The fuel gauge is a daft digital one, which gives at least an approximation of what’s in the tank (it often goes *up* after a bit of driving!) - it seems to take account of your driving style, which I hate - JUST TELL ME HOW MUCH THERE IS LEFT, FOR GAWD’S SAKE! Overall, solid, brisk, reliable, easy on fuel and looks nice too.

I have driven a lot of 4X4’s, and the ML is the worst one on handling and controlling, but the brilliant point is the interior and the comfortable seats, all the same feeling from the S class, nice for family, nightmare for a Performance driver.

Bought this a month ago, so far so good. The car is great, I would buy another one, good interior, roomy, fun to drive. The engine is pretty good, and the Xenon headlights are just great.

I really just can’t fault it except for high tyre noise caused by British Road surfaces; it’s wonderfully quiet on French and Dutch roads. Its solid with no rattles, has the look and feel internally that everything right down to the rear view mirror was thought about and designed properly. (It has map reading lights in it so positioned that they are more over your lap). Externally just walking towards it makes you admire it. Roof and heated airscarfs make ’topless’ an option more than you might have thought. Boot a fair size too. Only drawback is class 20 insurance and i am in my late 50s with a currently clean license.

Absolutely awful! The car was off the road for 4 months of the 2 years which I owned it! The engine kept cutting out while driving, once causing an accident. Mercedes UK were always rude and unhelpful, especially after the accident. The car wouldn’t lock for the last 3 months and despite 4 visits to the dealer, it was never fixed. Broke down completely twice and when cold usually blew out black smoke...
