I own a '12 W212 E220 manual ( sadly ). It is more roomy inside and it is more quiet in the cabin. I have the black leader interior with polished aluminium trim. It is ok but thats it. The interior is booring, just pieces of plasting bound together. It has no charm. I wish I had keyless entry in my 75

Polished aluminium trim sounds like the trim I had in a C180 Classic in 2006. The Es that I'm looking at are the Elegance level with Walnut, and very much not boring, IMHO anyway. Last edited by jonathan63; 18th March 2017 at 18:09.. |

Black modern mercedes with many options and a MANUAL gearbox it is lame. I hate it. The only reason I bought it in the first place was that it had optional extras

Go for the facelift one if u can. They have more reliable gearbox and more standard equipment + modern 3.0 engine ( replacing 3.2 )

Not an e class but I have a facelift C class 250 with a mapped ecu in amg trim and a 6 speed manual.
It replaced our R75 contemporary and I love the car. There are differences but the more modern technology makes it a much better car in my eyes. We average 47 mpg(actual) from a 250 BHP car. The interior is also a nice place to sit. Things I miss from the R75 Sunroof Folding rear seat Memory seats (not fitted to my model) I still have the ZT 190 though for that MGR urge I would recommend Mercs as replacements all day long bit I am now biased

Had the 250d eclass 1993 190d and the 320 petrol. Only problem was the high service cost but could be fixed in the desert with a hammer and screw driver. Ride was ok but not what i could call brilliant. The merc did 45000 before it was going to cost over 3000 for an automatic box and break service. Now have the rover 75d 2002 which i find more comfortable and have done over 10000 in the last two months with no problem just put diesel in and have over 50mpg. A lot more refined than the Merc. You have to keep driving them and will have no problem if you do regular oil change. Also use ex rover garage or a member to service it. The only spare I Carry is the ubp in the boot. Plenum can be a bit of a hassle but have done a mod on the air grill near the wipers had no problems and put a couple of shots of redex in the tank. Just on the way to spain again.

Well, I have agonised over this for a week or 2 now and don't think I'm much nearer making a decision, 75 or E class. After totting up all that needs doing to mine now I'm looking at c£900 in parts and a remap. And then I'll have to fit all the parts as well.
On the other hand I could buy soming like this http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...to=5500&page=1 I don't know what to do. |
