I love that car !!! That CDI engines are brilliant and economical and they have good performance. The 350 CDI with its 231 BHP engine is just the best. But it's still hard to choose between the 5 series and the E-class. ( 530d and E-350 CDI )AND THE E 250 CDI

AN EXCELLANT CAR WHICH HAS PUT THE E CLASS BACK AT THE TOP BOTH IN LOOKS AND DRIVE, I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED DRIVING IT WHILST IT WAS WOKING!! MY CAR WAS ONLY TWO MONTHS OLD WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS FOUND. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE THE PISTONS AND IT IS A PROBLEM ON ALL E CLASS DEISEL ENGINES UPTO E320 SIZE. THE PISTONS ARE FAULTY AND MERCEDES KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM, THERE IS A WAITIG LIST OF CARS NEEDING NEW PISTONS AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT ONLY IN THE UK. MERCEDES HAVE BEEN GOOD IN GIVING A REPLACEMENT CAR AND HAVE PROMISED TO GET THE REPAIRS DONE ASAP, BUT I AM NOT DRIVING MY NEW CAR (E200CDI) OF TWO MONTHS FOR AT LEAST ONE MONTH AND EVEN UPTO TWO MONTHS! BUY THE PETROL OR A BIGGER ENGINS; AT LEAST ASK THE SALESMAN.

I got my E350 diesel Estate about a week ago (after my local dealer said there was none to be had I contacted a lease company who got me one no problem).The car is a big improvement over my 4yr old E500, not much slower but much better fuel economy (40mpg on a 500 mile round trip , 1 tank of diesel!). The car is the Sport version and is a bit hard sprung and seems to have a funny lag if you put your foot down, it seems to think about it then shoot off. This tends to make me press the accelerator even harder trying to urge it on,so when it does go it's off like a rocket. I am sure I will get used to it. The interior trim is a big improvement and it feels very solid and well put together.The toys are fun too, the sat nave/cd/radio are easy to use and work very well indeed (I have COMAND).The 'attention assist' is also an interesting innovation, but I do admit to deliberately letting the car wander from lane to lane trying to provoke it into doing something,so far to no avail. If only they could sort out the main dealers who have IMHO never been anything other than pretty rubbish. Maybe it's just my local dealership in Watford. Anyway, love the car, it gets lots of admiring looks ,and I think that maybe Mercedes have cracked it and this will be a return to the well built solid Mercs of old.

Another stunning looking Mercedes-Benz though I wonder what the CEO of Mercedes has? Im guessing an S-Class

As a chauffeur I normally drive a Volvo S80. I have just been asked to change into one of our new E220 CDI's. It looks great inside and out....BUT, and this is a very big BUT. The drivers seat is the most painful seat I have ever sat in. The steering wheel is centred to the left and I do 60,000 miles a year so you need comfort in the seat. Mercedes have still not managed to address the lower back support, even with the lumbar support. As for the leather that's in the car. Isn't it PVC? It feels so cheap. I have to say the Volvo is far superior to the Merc. The Volvo feels a lot more luxurious inside and the leather is really soft. The auto gearbox maybe a little jirky but it's so much faster than the Mercs which seems to take forever when you put it in reverse. The Volvo also sounds quieter inside and there is less engine noise. It also feels a lot more spacious inside the Volvo. The dashboard is not in your face like the Merc. The equipment levels on the Merc are pretty poor for the amount of money they are asking. I can't wait to get back into an S80 again. Probably the most under rated car in it's class. Don't believe the hype about a Merc E class. Your just paying for the name, and paying too much for it.

Quality problems are well and truly back. 350Cdi engine is lovely for the first few thousand miles and then starts to sound like an old bus and the fuel economy drops like a stone. Its a known problem and Merc have no fix. Type '350Cdi engine problem' or '350Cdi injectors' into google and find loads of hits from other owners (I have one) with the same problem and receiving the same terrible service from Merc Customer Service. They say 'The best or nothing', I can only say that they went for the Nothing option. Buy an E350CGi and you'll be getting better economy that the guy that bought a E350CDi 5000 miles ago, oh and the fuel is cheaper! Great car, terrible engine reliability and the worst customer service known to man.

I love e63 AMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's well designed.The ride quality is impressive and space is exellent specialy in station wagon version you should buy specious and sporty cars but mpg and CO2 results are sadly bad.
