- E320 CDI (Retired) - Now driving R Class 2009 Sport
"Don't really understand the negative press, it's a fantastic car." - AGREED! I haven't owned one, which I suppose I should say outright, but having spent days looking at specs and reviews, it seems that the 'only' people who have a good word to say about this car are..... OWNERS of them! All the other naysayers sound to me like rotten apples, people who "want" people to get a "proper" 4x4, or an E Class. For me personally, the blend of the R class is perfect and exactly what I need.
The only issue I have is trying to find out real world MPG figures for town, mixed, and motorway journeys. I am sure it's better than the bricks like discos etc, but would be really grateful if anyone could chip in after all this time and comment on the MPG of their R320, and also reliability and build quality. I was told these were made in the USA instead of Germany, which I can't deny puts me off a bit, but not too much to not buy one. Any up date thoughts on the R320 would be very much appreciated, especially on the fuel economy figures.
