Rover 75 v Merc E class. Anyone had both?
I love my 75 but always wanted a Merc E class Elegance (with the walnut dash).
I'll be losing a bit on mpg and the cost of tyres but I was wondering what the whole ownership experience is like. |

I presume the CLK and E class are similar to drive? How do they compare to a 75 CDT Connie SE Mike?

When I was at work,I had a Mercedes E240,it was a wonderful car,so comfy and stylish,had all the toys and grey leathers seats,do I miss it.of course I do,but now funds are more limited, the Rover 75 is my comfort in retirement.
The Mercedes in my opinion was the better car of the 2

Watch out for rust, yes really! Mechanically they are tough but parts are pricey.
A merc does feel special and in my opinion is a little more classy than a BMW. |

I had the older E class, a 300E and it was a pleasure to drive. Really roomy inside compared to the 75 (that I bought to replace it). If a Merc will rust anywhere it'll be the front wings so beware if it has those nice shiny chrome trims on the arches.
I loved everything about it apart from the mpg figures which is why I went to diesel. I still miss it but love my 75 too.
