My father brought the E280 Avantgarde in 2001, the face lifted version. We chose metallic brilliant silver (just like everyone else!!) with grey leather. The options we opted for was the Sat Nav, Heated seats, Parkatronic, C.D changer and Climate Control.
From the outside, the face lifted version gave the car a sleeker look, it's more stylish, especially with the new colour style lights. It also looks little less conserative now, lovely as I love ... ...man. Soon as you step inside the car you know this car is solid as a rock, well put together and the interior oozes quality. The leather has that quality look, feel and smell to it. The seats are comfortable, with partial electronic adjustments. The dash is clear and logically laid out, though this design has been going on for many years now. The climate control is fantastic, it's fast and very powerful, useful when the cars been out in the sun and ...

...recommend ANYONE buying a new Mercedes to take up the offer to visit the factory and pick it up yourself. For the normal delivery charge, they will fly you out to Stuttgart, put you up in a hotel, show you around the factory, and then introduce you to your car before sending you on your way. Its a fabulous experience, and a great introduction to your car. However, for those anxious to try out their new car on Germany's autobahns a warning - we were ... ...ubiquitous as Brilliant Silver (THE Mercedes colour, I guess!)
The interior is similarly elegant. We chose mushroom leather which makes the interior feel very light and spacious. A warning though - if you go for leather, make sure you also specify heated front seats if you don't want a rude awakening on a winter morning! There is lots of space for everyone - front and rear passengers - and a big boot. There is plenty of room for 3 in the back, but ...

Advantages: Performace, Looks, Economy, Equipment, Space Disadvantages: Errr...none!
...have always been a masses Mercedes fan, and for my birthday my family rented a Mercedes C-Class for me. Avis very kindly upgraded me to an E-Class. I was expecting a 2.1 turbo diesel, or maybe a 200 Kompressor. I was absolutely thrilled when I found I had the 3.0i V6 engine.
The image, well what can I say. I think this car looks fantastic. It looks subtle, it looks sporty, it looks...well, I just think it's got it all! The previous shape E-Class ... ...can only dream that I would be able to own one for myself. But for those of you with enough money to go and buy one of these, please do not even consider an Audi or a BMW. You really can't go wrong with the new Mercedes E-Class. ...

Advantages: none except for the namebrand ??? Disadvantages: All you can think about and your nightmares becomes reality.
I am almost 50 and have driven numerous cars in my life. From American cars to Japanese cars to European cars. My previous car was a 2002 BMW 525i sedan. And, last year I purchased a new 2006 E280 GAS w/auto trans. SInce the beginning, it has never been satisfactory for me. It went in and out of the service garage. First, a bearing was changed after doing only 500 kilometers. Second, I had the airconditiong system checked and cleaned coz there was ... ...house, everytime I turned on the

Till now, It has ran only 9300 kilometers and supposed to be a very new car. But, check these problems. So, take my friendly advice. With the ...

Advantages: Very Nice Car Disadvantages: Tempting to overspeed?
...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 ... ...one thing: I bought the Mercedes E280! It was in terrific condition and have all electrical leather seats.
I have ugraded the E280 Michellin standard tyres to the dearer Pirelli Zero tyres and had the a general servicing done and so far I must say I am very happy and so is the wife and kids!

There is a comment sent by my brother who is still a bachelor and currently driving a 4 year old BMW 530. ...
