Its also the model I am interested in and the brochure I just received lists: E220CDI,E250CDI,E200CGI,E250CGI,E350CGI,E500 and E63 In the Technical data section. There is also a section entitled 'Engines' in which there is no mention of the six cylinder diesel at all. I just phoned...

Got my E class estate brochure in the post and the 350CDI is conspicuous in its absence (i.e. completely not there) and no explanation from the very husky lady who phoned me to find out whether I had received it. She did tell me that the estates would be in the showroom by end of January...

Thanks this is very helpful, sounds like we do the same kind of driving, I think I can live with 35 mpg ish. I fully expect the estate to be slightly less efficient but I don't think theres a massive difference in weight and I doubt drag will be a huge factor at the speeds we travel so it...

My thoughts exactly and the only slight concern I have is with the fuel economy, the reason for my post! You guys/girls(?) are all being very helpful, thanks Jolltax

Thanks for the impressively fast responses! I am very confident that E350 will be a significant improvement for us, as people are saying - a test drive will probably sort this out for us and give us an idea of the relative merits E250 vs E350. Jolltax

Wife and I are seriously looking at E class diesel estate when they are out next year. Lease on our XC90 finishes in April, currently favour the E250CDI or, as we will have an automatic, the E350CDI also looks only a little more expensive. We have always had Audis before the Volvo but fancy a...

Have been struggling to find a decent review online of the E class estate and will need to change my car in April, lease runs out on my XC90 in April, timing.... Anyone got a linky to decent review? Will need to get Mrs Jolltax to sit in it, wonder if they will have models in the showrooms...

Thats inc VAT and includes all running costs except fuel, no money up front. Its a closed scheme for employees only so I'm guessing the costs are pretty reasonable? Cheers

Hmmm Thanks Akmal17, thats much more clear. I'm not sure I'll bother, for the money I could go for something different which might suit us better. Sounds like fun though!

Thanks Guys Thats been helpful, thanks very much. I guess the test drive will be the deciding factor, we only do 10k miles or less a year and although the schoolboy side of my character says 'get the 320', the accountant says 'get the 270 and save the money'. I guess Keyless go, is a...
