    Advantages Advantages Refined motorway cruiser with bags of equipment

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Dull looks, inferior to 5-Series

    You may have noticed that Mercedes has been ‘jazzing’ up its image in recent times, firstly with the exquisite S-Class and the stylish C-Class and Sport Coupe. Well one car that hasn’t caught up with the Merc revolution is the machine that is reviewed here. Mercedes may have beaten BMW’s 7 and 3 Series hands down but it is a few miles back down the road with it’s M and E Class cars. That’s not to say that the E isn’t a good car, because it is a superb car. The problem is that the BMW 5 Series is so much better in every way. It is better looking, better ... more

    Advantages Advantages EFFORTLESS CRUISER-STRONG IMAGE-GREAT QUALITY

    Disadvantages Disadvantages NOT MANY

    Firstly I must say this is my Dad's car and not mine, but i have been in it so many hundreds of times and driven it quite a lot recently and so feel I am able to make comment. The car was an ex-demo model bought in 2000 on a V plate. It is Avantgarde specification which i believe to be the best, the black birds eye maple trim really sets off the grey leather. The seats are superb, as is the driving position, couple this with good fuel economy (if your right foot is not too heavy) and this makes a perfect motorway cruiser. The auto box is perfectly suited to the enigine's nature, and means ... more

    Advantages Advantages A CAR ENGINEERED LIKE NO OTHER

    Disadvantages Disadvantages THE PRICE?

    I am still enjoying driving the E240 avantgarde around. My previous cars include VW Passat, Nissan Cefiro, Opel Commodore, Lexus Harrier, and Audi A4. I spent about 5 months testing quite a number of sedans. Then after comparing many cars I finally narrowed it down to either the BMW 5 or the Mercedes E240. I could not make up my mind for a month until I found a dealer who could loan me a demo BMW and a demo Mercedes, each for 2 days on separate weekends. I love the BMW 5 series engine capability and i think the BMW had more agility than the Mercedes. But I found that it was more relaxing to ... more
