Mercedes-Benz E-Class

This is a drivers car with a very responsive 3 litre Twin Turbo 6 cylinder automatic (also with Flappy paddle).
So many drivers aid options you can only get on more recent model cars. Eco/Sports mode. Lane assist, park assist.
I drive this car for fun although occasionally i like to ferry the in-laws so it suits both racing and cruising. Fuel economy is always around 9.5 litres per 100 km although on the sedate long freeway runs i have attained 7.4 litres.
I have had the car for 3 years and am still discovering all the features (like retuning ...

My husband loves this car as a sporty, performance vehicle. Excellent road handling and grip. Luxuriously styled interior and fabulous Harmon Karden sound system.
However, due to Covid and mobility issues, we have been doing long cross country drives and this car made it so easy! The self drive feature really made it so easy and saved driver fatigue and stress. The car is an absolute life saver.
Literally.

I have had 20 or so Mercedes and have loved the brand. But the new vehicles have become so complicated and if something goes wrong they struggle to fix it. Our new car spent 10 days of the first 30 days in their workshop and they only found the problem by blind luck as their great telemetry systems showed nothing.

The cars are also not intuitive - as an example the new park assist is far too complicated.

I have given up and now just use Apple Car Play and good old faithful Siri.

The car finishes are beautiful but the tech very average.

A once great brand is now confused and lost. I think I will buy a Tesla next.

Got the E-class in 2017 for my work in the hire car industry.
I tell you the good: the car is ahead of its time with all the great interior lighting and screens, the engine is really powerful for a turbo diesel 4 cylinder, the 9 speed automatic shifts like a dream and has the best driver safety systems you can get. The passengers like all the colored lights, all the screens, panoramic sunroof while sitting on nappa leather seats. These cars are very good taxis because the car is very durable and can be driven for hours and hours in a day in co...

Only using it for holiday or long drive. Best car to travel in the city or countryside. Only car wash and petrol station and twice a year visiting the service station.

Well, my 2017 E400 Coupe has been causing me nothing but issues since taking ownership of it as a new/demonstrater vehicle, that the service department for my dealer either takes several attempts to resolve or still can't resolve. Including bluetooth interface issues, ongoing suspension problems, unexpected cabin noises; all reeking of a poor quality product. Of those faults, the squeaking coming from the suspension/running gear seem to be the worst.

Since taking ownership, there has been a varying level of high pitch squeaking coming from the...

Wow this is just so much car. I've had it almost 3 years and I love the technology, the styling, and just how it drives. It really sort of flies down the road it is so smooth. Mind-blowing amounts of tech that DO take getting used to, but once you do it's an absolute pleasure. Automatic everything. With the drive assist I can drive 2 hours to see a friend and arrive with no fatigue at all. I don't see why anyone would drive anything different than this its a wonderful car. Amazingly everything works after 3 years with the exception of one s...

Just got a second hand w212 E200 with AMG pack.Must say its sumply awesome.It parks itself,the cruise control is fast and intuitive.I travel 240 kms per week on highway fuel consumption is awesome for a petrol turbo 2 litre engine. Iservice it myself since i am a mechanic and the car is simply awesome.Heaos of soace in boot.Crazy seats for 2 kids at the back .

Simply the best vehicle you could own, it was voted safest car in 2017 in the world, and I can see why, its semi autonomous driving ability, makes every other car feel out dated, its glass dashboard makes you feel you are the starship enterprise, its seats are simply sublime, the ride and power are excellent, it has a style and presence on the road that no other car comes close to replicating. Every panel fits perfect, every bit of material is of the highest quality. There is not one fault I can find with this vehicle. The only way to experience this is go drive one for a weekend, and indulge in the luxury that only german engineering can provide.

There's plenty of stuff written online about the new E-Class (W213). I'm going to try to put stuff out there that isn't already online, in particular for the E350e plug in electric hybrid.
Battery 6.2kWh
To test battery vs gasoline, I drove the car on an identical course at 1am in the morning so that traffic wouldn't be an issue.
The car ran in full electric mode for 22.9km (ie: almost 23km) from fully charged 100% to 11% at which point the petrol motor kicks in.
On exactly the same course with the car in E-save mode (ie: not using any net...

I bought a new E220d coupe earlier this year on the basis of the clams by MB that it is the most'intelligent' car in the market. This may or may not be correct. What is clear is that ithe technology is very poorly delivered and highly confusing to use.

Starting with the users manual (500 pages) being almost unintelligible. The manual also describes instruments which don't actually exist in the car.

Functions can be manipulated by numeroously duplicated instruments spread over the control surfaces. In the central consol there is a touch ...

I have this amazing car since 3 weeks ago and to be honest it is amazing car I’ve ever had. It is a high-tech and so comfortable car. I bought it from Mercedes Benz Melbourne and also many thanks to James at Mercedes Bens Melbourne. Has a 4 cylinder engine but it is so powerful compare to other 4 cylinders cars.

This has to be the nicest and most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven. It is so smooth and has too many safety features to mention.
Very economical and just looks amazing. This car handles and turns beautifully. You will not find a better car. This is luxury at it's best.

Driving experience is amazing with the diesel, expecially on the highway
Can be noisy when speeding up but once your moving can't hear it!
The interior is immaculate, amazing style and looks very nice
Running costs are very low as I fill up 1 every fortnight for about $70
Leg room is very nice too!
