    Advantages Advantages Performance, Comfort, Price

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Rear Parking - you need park sensors!

    The new E200 (W211 model) is superb value for money. Starting at £26,000 it is in a far higher class than most cars for the same money. I was sceptical about purchasing one because the performance figures suggest it is a bit of a slouch but in reality, coupled with the manual 6 speed gearbox, performance is lively and more than you might expect. Handling is also superb, particularly with the optional £300 sports suspension which often makes you think you are driving a smaller sporty car. Motorway cruising is a dream making those long journeys effortless. A cavernous boot with optional split ... more

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Timing Chain Slips at arounf 70,000 miles

    This car has a major problem with its timing chain. It can slip and cause immense engine damage (Piston cracks, Valves Bent, etc). It is very costly to fix. I would recommend anyone who has one to get the chain replaced at 50,000 miles. It happened my 2003 one at 65,000 miles. I was in touch wih Mercedes and they acknowledged it was a problem. Unfortunately it was out of warrenty. You get no warning despite a diagnostic computer system installed in the car. I would definitely not recommend this car. I have also been told by people in the car industry that it has happened to thousands of these ... more

    Advantages Advantages Value for money/comfort/economy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Front wings prone to rust/immobiliser problems on early models

    The e200. My car was bought for 800 quid and is a dream to drive. It is an E200 classic 2 litre auto. It has 125,000 miles on the clock and the driving experience is an absolute pleasure. It is a most comfortable car and the 2 litre engine is not at all overstressed giving excellent performance alongside frugal economy. Being the classic it is the basic model but has very good spec such as 6 speaker stereo system, cruise control and electric front and rear windows. Typically for M.B a lot of thought has gone into the design of the E200 making this an excellent second hand choice. Things to ... more

    Great car which is comfy and good to drive. Ample room in front and rear as well as good boot space. Ride is controlled and fuel economy good, averaging 32MPG. Instrumentation is clear and steering wheel controls easy to use. Nice sound system. Wheel change system handily located and easy to use. Replacement parts are reasonably priced. E200 is underpowered and picks up slowly with full cabin. Air conditioning function is very basic. Problems with brake discs wearing. The steering wheel controls do not allow switching between CD and radio or between radio frequencies. Replacement keys are ... more
