320L CDI SE - Cars like the A-Class and the CLS-Class didn’t exist until Mercedes started selling them. And there never was, and still isn’t, anything quite like the R-Class. Being an unique mix of SUV, MPV and luxury estate, Mercedes settled on calling it a Grand Sports Tourer, but is it any good?... read more
500 & 600 - Based on the S-Class, the CL is the Mercedes for well-heeled drivers who don’t wish to be mistaken for a chauffeur or dipomat, and who seek an even sportier image than that offered the CLS sports saloon. And like those Stuttgart stablemates, the CL is also a contender for the title ‘World’s Best Car’. ... read more

What a superb van, you pay more but the extra goes a long way. I do 50,000 miles a year and this van is made for it... I had a Vito 111 Extra Long, I did 160,000 miles with no faults at all. I’ve also got a Peugeot Boxer 07 plate, never again......

Lovely car to drive, lots of facilities within the vehicle, spacious and able to carry 6 passengers. However suspension is a problem, low mileage needed replacing. Tyres also require regular changes. Engine is good and servicing staff a dealership very attentive.

My CLS500 is still the best car on the road by far. I used to stay in Harrow, but have since moved back to South Africa. I am waiting in anticipation for the new CLS500 to come onto the market. I will be one of the first people in line to get it. The CLS500 has awsome power, womb-like comfort, sexy styling and I just can’t find anything wrong with it. Well done to Merc for producing the best all-round car......ever!

This is a practical car, easy to drive, not too expensive to insure , and holds a large amount of luggage. The back seats can be removed, and should one want to do so, there is space, with the front seats moved forward, for a tall adult to sleep. It isn’t a racing car, but drives happily at normal speeds. My petrol version does about 32 mpg, has climate control and a CD player. The back doors slide open and shut. It is original and elegant and I hope it lasts for at least twenty years.

I am a professional driver, so I use the Vito for work. It came in at roughly the same price as a VW Transporter, the Vito is far better looking but it doesn’t have the boot space of the VW. It is a fairly good performer and at not a bad price. I found that by turning the seats to face each other, this gives you space for more luggage behind the drivers seat and the front row turned seats.

If ever you have wondered into a Sony T.V shop, or a Makita power tool shop or a Rolex jewellers, or a Lamborghini car showroom, you look around and think yes, that is just what i need, (even though the wallet in your pocket is laughing like hell). You know, top of the range marque, massive product support, huge respect from fellow "mendgits", (sorry should explain that this is short for guys who absolutely adore top of the range gadgets and toys), well sometimes and not very often there is an alternative to all of the premier league gadget stars, usually sat within shouting distance of the one that you really want. On the occasion i drifted into the local Mercedes dealer, (looking with intent at the AMG version of an SL coupe), i really was taken aback by the lesser "in your face", brother in law that is the CLK Coupe. Shiny black, cream leather, all the expected gadgets, (and a bloody sun blind across the rear window!). It was a real handsome t**t and seemed to be calling me towards it with quite a grin across the front end. Anyway i abandoned all interest in the AMG, partly due to the CLK and mostly due to the fact that i could not even afford one of the tyres, never mind the bloody car. A friendly clown of a salesman approached me and within fifteen minutes i found myself out in the middle of nowhere test driving this wonderful vehicle. I say wonderful, because that is exactly what it was, has been and still is. It eats miles, it is quiet, quick enough, roomy enough for four, retains a fine mpg and serves me ever so well. It is also admiringly glanced at, very good looking and refined to a point of being cool rather than classy. Not a single bad word can I offer on behalf of this car and anyone considering a coupe that will properly seat four adults, has to go out and look at one of these.

Beautifully made with excellent road holding, the car is spoiled by a poor ride at speed. Motorway cruising is simply not as relaxed as my previous Volvo’s although somewhat quieter. The interior may be bigger than earlier models but I can still feel cramped when I look upwards to the interior light cluster; it’s awfully close to my eyes. Controls are well laid out but the foot-operated parking brake is ridiculous and forces a change of driving style. Parktronic is implemented poorly with insufficient aural clues. Generally I would say build quality is over-rated now that the competition (including Ford Mondeo) have raised their game.

I got this to fit all my kids in, it is very nice to look at, loads of room in it all. This is great until it comes to the drive; very slow in the low gears unless you really put your foot down - seems like you need to get right to the top gears as quick as possible. The first and second gears struggle - also reverse when cold. My wife would rather drive my old Shogun N reg which disappoints me as its a Mercedes. I should of just got a Ford Tourneo which are very easy to drive as my wife will drive my work van which is a transit. A lot of money for very little. I think your just paying for the name which, in this case, Mercedes cannot live up to. I’m not happy at all.

Never been a big fan of Mercedes - "old mens cars" I’d mutter whenever a friend bought one. Then a combination of large (both in size and number) offspring and their protective mother forced my hand into getting a 7 seater. People carriers just weren’t an option as I didn’t want the world to think I had been lobotomised so a 4x4 it was. And by god did we do our research. Every 4x4 that claimed to seat 7 was driven, pondered and driven again. Decision making when subject to 6 opinions takes time after all.... The easy part was discounting the "wannabes" as the kids put it. So many 7 seater’s simply aren’t (unless you have had you legs or at very least feet and shins surgically removed) You can forget the X5,Q7,XC90 etc. The real choice came down to 2 - the Discovery or the Mercedes GL. Land Rover very kindly let me play at their Gaydon testing ground in a Disco’ and it was an incredible experience. If you really want to cross a desert this is the car for you.... but I’m from Cheshire which is famous for its footballers wives, lush fields and pet horses. Which is where the GL excels. It feels like a Range Rover inside and handled like a Discovery outside. Truly... for a car that would normally sport a French manicure from a Wilmslow salon its heart wanted a rutted field and the calloused hands of a dairy farmer - it’s inspiring offroad. And the engine....700NM of torque. That’s enough to rip the entire tax revenue from Gordon Browns sweaty grasp (which is what you’ll need to be able to fill this beast up) It is simply mind bending when you go flying into a tight corner in a 2.5 ton leather and burr walnut armchair and the thing doesn’t even roll, let alone show any sign of bad manners. Don’t flatter yourself that it’s your driving skill - this thing has more number crunching power than the entire NASA Apollo 11 mission, and it uses it to stop you getting into trouble. And on a straight road... well it’s quick in a "I’ve just learnt how to bend the space/time continuum" sort of way. Miles disappear effortlessly, but it could easily cost you points as the thing is as quiet as a church mouse blindfolded in a cattery. So am I impressed.....oh yes. Should you buy one....oh yes. Am I now an "old man" ....oh no! The kids class the GL as "gangsta" which makes me young and hip trendy (for the first time in my life!) It doesn’t get better than that.

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 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...

I have only owned the CLS for a few months; this car is fantastic i love everything about it, by far the best car i have ever owned. This is the 14th Merc that i have owned over the years, the last one was a W211 E-Class which i thought was great but the CLS knocks spots off it. The CLS is a very powerful beast, very smooth, a great cab, but most of all is its LOOKS, every time i get it out of the garage i just stand there looking at it (sad i know).

We were promised high re-sale values, which on selling for replacement in March/April 2008 have proved false. We bought this as a final car to last through retirement, but that dream has been shattered by the very high maintenance costs. Frequent costs include several sets of injectors, several sets of suspension bushes, too many to count attempts to replace correctly the footbrake ratchet mechanism and constant tracking adjustments (probably due to road conditions) but nevertheless very costly. Not good seat support for passengers when getting a move on around bends. Good points: 50+mpg @70on motorways, 55mpg+ if you drop to 65mph on excellent cruise control. Towed caravan very well. Really nice as drivers car till you pay for servicing and take depreciation into account. 2* rating based on costs - would be 4/5 otherwise.

I always wanted one, and only if it was white in colour, it had to be the 5 cylinder version, turbo diesel with intercooler , 5 speed automatic, even the back head rests pop down via a switch, the boot (trunk to our friends in the States) pops up on the key fob function...etc, etc etc... even the washer bottle is so big it would last a Siberian Winter without needing to fill it up!!! And I was lucky and managed to get it!!! (Thanks to Clydesdale Bank in Scotland for 4 years car loan mode) in a place called Trade Sales in Slough ..near London many many MANY years ago (actually 7 years ago) and I still have it.!!!. WHY, because it is still, after all these years , ’as good as new’. We know the saying...a happy life = a happy WIFE, well I got this vehicle for my other half and pal (my wife) all these years ago, (p.s .she is still my wife and we’re still pal’s) she (and I include myself) do not want to get rid of it for any reason, why, the sound of the engine and absolutely fault free reliability (apart from a fault in the diesel glow plug relay box / system which cost just under £180 pounds to fix at an Independent just a couple of weeks ago...goodness a failure!!!) and this is all l have paid out in repairs in 7 years of trouble free motoring, then it’s worth it!. What more can I say. OK, it’s not done a lot of miles, it’s cost a set of tyres (or 2..maybe 3 until I got the alignment fixed out) but it is still fab and the underneath is still as good as new...so why change it. ...some sort of 30 year anti rust thingy, something ...whatever? Excellent vehicle and if you can get the MB Tex interior (OK, it’s the taxi spec so I am informed from a taxi aficionado) so much the better. I am lucky to have had and still have this Mercedes Benz C Class 250 TD Classic auto version and have no doubts I will have it for a wee while yet...well done MB, an absolute peach / credit to Engineering and quality.......just wish I had the £ to get the recent new one equivalent... unfortunately Mr Darling and Mr Brown tax me so much that much I can’t afford a new one and if they continue to tax me / us any more we all won’t be able to afford anything!!!!!) ...(sorry for being rather political) however, I just hope it’s as good as the old one!!!! PS... Do not tow a caravan with it (auto version)..It is not meant for this purpose unless you have shares in Saudi Arabia / Esso and B.P. including ASDA and Tesco (not forgetting Morrison’s and Sainsbury Diesel pumps all at the same time!!!l)..sure it will get you anywhere in this side of time without effort but your Visa / MasterCard will be red hot and burnt out at the end of your return journey including contributing to the ’sub prime mortgage’ thingy disaster credit squeeze ...otherwise, as a local or motorway car on its own with the family or pals, it’s perfect ... and thanks for taking the time to read my experience / ramblings and hopefully a bit of harmless silly fun with this other pal of mine my C250!!

Solidly built, smooth engine, autobox likewise, great ride, the new COMAND module is superb and the Linguatronics is spot on. Oh, and the fuel consumption is surprising economical compared with the 3 litre S type this Merc replaced. The new C class at last gives the BMW 3 series some much needed competition. My only niggle is that the sliding cover on the compartment in the centre console is not colour co-ordinated for the reef grey interior - it’s black! Despite this it does exactly what it says on the tin and was very, very close to getting a 5 star rating.

A great car. Averaging 25MPG which aint bad for a huge car. It is VERY comfortable and the basic spec has everything you need. Ride is surprisingly sporty with very little roll for such a big car. Not as much roll as any landrover or Q7/X5. Off road handles well, with tons of safety features. The 3l diesel has bags of torque and you are never felt lacking for power. Feels the strongest engine out of all the cars mentioned above with the 3L. Basically i love it and would recommend to anyone.

I have had my CLK 220d now for 2 years/18000 miles. This was my 1st contract hire and 1st diesel and I liked the torque and performance. You never forget you’re in a diesel until you’re up to cruising speed, but with excellent fuel economy between 35mpg for mixed driving and 50 on long runs its a small compromise. The car has been very reliable and I found the build quality very good, no rattles of squeaks. I only had two issues. The high visibibilty boot mounted brake light lense had to be replaced, TWICE!. Its made of the same plastic found in a childs water pistol which surprised me as most of the other parts felt of good quality. The other was the automatic gearbox which had a slight snatch if you put the foot down too quickly from standstill. As it was only slight and the car was on contract, I was reluctant to let a dealer near it. It never got any worse as the miles went on so I got used to it. The Artico ’leather’ may look convincing, but lacks the feel and quality of the real thing. Would I have another?, Yes.

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.

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 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!

I would like a new car to replace my old car and pay under 20 thousand pounds.

I’m lucky enough to have this as my company car. It’s roomy, classy, quick, safe and exciting to drive. I would not buy this car as I think it is overpriced but should definately be considered from a leasing perspective.

EuroNcap 5 stars, always worth noting. Smooth ride, performance is good and spacious, luxury feel inside. I feel better off for just owning one.

Although very nice this car is really an expensive people carrier for 6 people. Build quality & performance are excellent as you would expect.

This is not a cheap car to run by any stretch of the imagination but for the performance and ride you get I think it’s worth it. It’s stuffed to the gills with all the kit you could ever want and it’s simply the nicest way for six people to travel together in comfort.

A very classy car. Excellent on performance and handling as you’d expect from a Mercedes. Space is more than ample and comfort for both driver and passenger is well thought out. About as thirsty as you’d expect on a car this size but as always the resale value on this extremely high. Can’t fault it.

This car is greatly improved over the old model. There is plenty of room inside & this car is very affordable to run. Fairly expensive to buy, but it is a Mercedes after all!

Lots of space for 5 people in this car which make it an excellent choice for families if you can afford one.

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.

What a difference a new model makes! Miles better than the old car, looks just like a smaller S-Class. Really refined and very affordable on Contract Hire and leasing deals due to strong residuals.

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.

What can I say.....a dream car, a majestic car, a sexy powerful beast, the ultimate in comfort, pure pleasure to drive and it mine. Even high-end bikes tend to stay clear of my CLS 500! Merc has built the perfect car and its called a CLS 500!

Given our (almost) football team sized family we needed something a little larger than your average MPV and the Traveliner offered the perfect answer. We’ve only had it a few weeks so haven’t made any long journeys in it yet but it certainly gives all the room and comfort we were looking for.

There is no doubt that this is a better car than it's previous incarnation, when it was universally slated for it's lack of ability to live up to it's billig as a sports car. Better looking, nicer to drive and more willing to be pushed hard. The 2.0 litre four cylinder engine however will never feel like it has enough power to justify the aggressive looks which hold supercar pretensions.

After driving other variants of the AMG badge within the Merc range I thought I knew what to expect from this car......... I was wrong! It is an absolute monster of a car who's engine just keeps on going and going with relentless power. In my opinion a better bet than the M5!.

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.

My wife fell in love with this car as soon as she saw it, a first for her. I personally don’t think you can compare this car to any other. I couldn’t even consider driving anything else now.

A powerful 4x4 with some nice touches, the 7G auto transmission being one and some great safely features. Very solid and reassuring to drive, but handles like a much smaller car. Recommended.

This car turns heads. If you want a car with power, class and the power to make peoples jaws drop you cannot get a better car in this price range. Just amazing to drive, not least from the reactions you get from other people. Love it.

Drives well and is currently giving me 44mpg which I’m pleased with having had a petrol engine in my last one. I’m pretty much a C Class diehard but even I’ve been impressed with the extras that have gone into this model. Very enjoyable car.

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.
