Nissan833 5th Gear March 18, 2015 Share March 18, 2015 Surprisingly different E class different handling I ever drove a remplacement E250 when my E250 in workshop c&c for a week. Then I drove 170kmh much more stable in nsh compared to.my E250. Maybe tyre difference Depends on package or trim level. Some AMG or sports edition have lowered ride height (small difference), different suspension setting. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beehive3783 Turbocharged March 18, 2015 Share March 18, 2015 Then I should buy a Merc. My kimchi 6 speed auto 1.6L also giving me 10+km/L but much less power. the current TCed w212 feels linear to me, FC is also very decent at about 10.5km -11km/L in heavy traffic and highway 50/50.

Unitek 1st Gear March 18, 2015 Share March 18, 2015 I have had a GS before. Now my wife drives a W212 (E250). To be frank, the GS cost a little more in term of repairing/maintenance. Merc once after my first 3 free service we never return to C&C. Typical service once a year and cost the same as any japanese car. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ictruall 5th Gear March 18, 2015 Share March 18, 2015 My honest opinions.. My dad had the current gen E250 saloon and after that got the cabriolet version. Very awful to drive, the saloon is marginally better. When cornering, it feels like the car is going to roll over on its sides. The flat seats aren't very helpful in holding your body as well. The gear shifts are slow and slightly retarded in the 7G-Tronic, usually in a mind of its own, sometimes not sure to upshift or downshift. Sure, it looks nice for a towkay car, very comfortable, decent space, nice interior design and materials used. It's meant as a cruiser.. if you are an enthusiast when it comes to car and driving, the E-class saloon will disappoint you almost instantly. the Benz E series never dissapointed me the least bit, all 4 of them over the last 20 years,....it only got better with each series, never broke down, extremely comfortable and the rest all,... and yes taking the corners too. ..........perhaps you just need to have the experience and know your car well enough to take it around the corners ....having staggered tyres does help somewhat if you need to corner at higher than high speeds. but with age, I into SUVs now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am that close to discounting your above view on the E Class if normal SUV is able to allow you to "corner at higher than high speed".
