E Doesn't Get You High

Advantages: Refined motorway cruiser with bags of equipment
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 ...
...consistently excellent component of any Mercedes and the E240 does not have any problems in this respect. Put your foot down and it responds immediately. The 2498cc engine offers plenty of punch and there is plenty of that for motorway overtaking manoeuvres or the more risky A road moves on the car ahead.

This car sticks to the road like glue, but to sit in one could be a bad thing. Do the Irish government all drive E Classes? If they ... more

200,000 miles and still going strong...

Advantages: EFFORTLESS CRUISER-STRONG IMAGE-GREAT QUALITY
Disadvantages: NOT MANY

...is as new, even the mercedes engineers commented on this and say even double this miles is feasible. All of this without one slight breakdown of any kind...yes this car has been flawless. Thinking of buying a 5-series???? Go for it they are a bloody brilliant car...but i think a lot of people overlook this mercedes as being underpowered and inferior to the bmw but i believe they are just very different cars...but hey they say you are either loyal ...

Facelift For Eclass!!!!!!!!

Advantages: NEW IMPROVED LOOKS, BETTER STANDARD FEATURES.
Disadvantages: COCKPIT STILL SAME LAYOUT.

DUE TO THE HUGE SUCCESS OF THE ECLASS MERCEDEZ BENZ HAD DECIDED TO GIVE IT A FACELIFT. IT HAS INTRODUCED ENHANCEMENTS ACROSS THE SLAOON AND ESTATE MODEL RANGE. tHE OLD 2.3 4-CYLINDER ENGINE HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE 2.4 V6 E240 OFFERING SUPERB VALUE FOR MONEY AND POWER AS WELL AS GOOD FUEL ECONOMY.THE NEW INTERIOR LAYOUT OFFERS THE DRIVER AN ON BOARD TRIP COMPUTER AS WELL AS A SMART STEERING WHEEL WITH TELEPHONE AND AUDIO FUNCTIONS. THE STANDARD AUTOMATIC ...
...NEW FACELIFT ALSO INCLUDES MANY STANDARD FEATURES SUCH AS AN AUDIO 10 RADIO CASSETTE/CD. RAIN SENSOR. THREE REAR BRAKELIGHTS. ILLUMINATED DOOR SILLS. PARTIALLY ELECTRIC SEATS. AS WELL AS AIR CONDITIONING. TO ME I WOULD OPT FOR CLIMATE CONTROL AS AN ADDED EXTRA. IT NOT ONLY KEEPS THE TEMPERATURE IN THE CAR ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BUT IT ALSO ALLOWS THE ANNOYING MIST FORMATION ON THE FRONT WINDSCREEN TO BE DE-MISSTED VERY QUICKLY. ANOTHER GOOD FEATURE ...

Overall a great Family sedan

Advantages: Refinement,safety,Fuel economy
Disadvantages: Maintenance cost,minor electrical glitches.

I have been using a 2001 Avantagarde ,its done 91000 kms.The car has performed well above expectations at most times.The car is extremely quiet and refined at all speeds,and driving on the highways are an absolute pleasure.The V6 engine is smooth and the car responds well to your right foot in a dignified manner at all times.The tiptronic transmission is also an added advantage for the enthusiastic driver. Overall fit and finish of the car are even ...
...are very useful,so is the steering mounted audio and telephone controls.The car comes loaded with 6 airbags,ABS,ESP,BAS are all standard.Xenon headlamps with washers are standard only on the Avantagarde trim. Fuel economy for big car like this is impressive, getting an average of 9.5L/100KM. Overall a great family sedan to own,minor troubles with the electricals are sometimes common. Still a good buy overall!! ...

Relax....Don't Do It !

Advantages: A CAR ENGINEERED LIKE NO OTHER
Disadvantages: THE PRICE?

...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 drive the Mercedes everytime with my family. Not so with the BMW. Note that I test driven 3 BMW models to confirm this. The E240 ...
...The main fact is the Mercedes has more useful room for a family of 4 people than the BMW 5 series. I should know because my whole family were in both cars. The mantainance of the Mercedes is slightly cheaper than BMW and the resale value is frequently slightly better too than the BMW. Having said all these, when it comes to updating my current car again, I would definitely take a look at the latest release BMW 530 (which is now slightly larger than ...

Mercedes E series or a BMW 5 series?

Advantages: Very Nice Car
Disadvantages: Tempting to overspeed?

I compared many new cars such as the Honda Accord 2.4, Toyota Camry 2.4, Citroen Picasso, Sanyong Rexton 2.7 xdi, Peugeot 307SW, Peugeot 407and Mazda 6, etc. I was not really satisfied with most of them except for the Peugeot 407 which I really liked a lot but lacking room space in the rear and engine grunt too! Months later, I saw some used BMW 5 series and Mercedes E series. I was very close to purchasing a BMW 523 which I chose over BMW 520 and the smaller BMW 328 until I saw a beautiful black Mercedes E230 Advantgarde with genuine blue glass windows. I was impressed by its gracefulness and smoothness. Of course the BMW 523 had a better engine response and a terrific grunt as well but was less roomy than the Mercedes. I was still unsure for about a week and then I saw a couple of Mercedes E 240 and E280 over the following ...

Review of Mercedes E 280

The Ultimate Driving Machine

Advantages: Almost everything
Disadvantages: Could be slightly bigger for rear passengers

The BMW 528i is, in my opinion, the best all-round luxury car in the World. It combines style, build quality, practicality and refinement to produce a simply magnificent car. My 528i is a 2000 model, so it's one of the last cars before the facelift. It has a lot of optional extras, and the mileage is currently 59992. I purchased it about a year ago for less than £9000, so it was excellent value for money. I also have a Mercedes E240 (2001 model) which is a direct rival for the 5 series. Exterior The BMW is a very, very attractive car. It looks sleek and understated, whereas the E-class looks a lot more bulky and imposing. In a way, the E-class has the advantage when it comes to real world driving. It's probably due to the Mercedes badge, but people will always move out of your way on the motorway and they will almost always give ...

Review of BMW 528i

Cheap and it makes sense

Advantages: Cheap, specious inside, small outside, very economical, 5 doors
Disadvantages: Bad quality interior, image,

from satellites and the speed is 10mph less than what car shows. So this gives you an advantage for radars. cause when you think you drive at 60mph its actual speed will be 50mph, I am not sure about that. CO2 will be an important issue for taxation of company cars as well as our environment. this car has 160co2 according to official specifications. This means that it is environmental friendly as an E class Mercedes has 240co2... Conclusion In conclusion, this car is so cheap so it makes sense, yes it has no comfort or its not very good quality interior and lack of image but... hey... people pay lots of money for diesel engines and this small hatchback beats most of them... Low insurance, low running cost at a price that you wouldn't beleive. I think a brand new one is aroung £6000. I read one opinion in a car magazine that Audi A2 ...
