My son is selling his 2008 CLK and wondering whether it might be of interest to anyone here: https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/mercedes-benz/clk/mercedes-clk-209-clk320-cdi-amg-sport-------------2008/10312924

I mentioned a GT3 earlier and your thoughts were it was too hardcore for a daily driver. But have you actually tried one? I have owned a 997 Gen 1 for the last 3 years. I had driven many 911's over the years and drove a 996 GT3 about a year earlier and knew within a few yards (i) I had to...

Do you need 5 seats? Would 2 do? Have you tried a Porsche GT3? A damn sight more rewarding than any Mercedes.

Yes you are right. Only NTG4-W212 is problematic which is particularly annoying as NTG4-W204 seems to be superb in all respects. When I mention to MB that if they can do it for W204 why cant they do the same for W212 I get the stupid response that -- ah, its a different system! When I ask...

I wish ...I wish...sorry to say Richard my dealer has been very supportive and installed the latest updates but its still as bad as ever and they say there is nothing else they can do except wait for the next disc upgrade that will probably be next year. I am in the process of getting hold...

You are spot on here. Going from my home east of Reading to visit my daughter in Worcester Park it wants to take me on the M4 and A4 to Hammersmith then down the Fulham Palace Road and North Circular and down the A3 south - average journey time 90 minutes. My other 3 satnav systems all go M4...

You are absolutely right guys. I have a 52 plate SL and the navigation is a million times better.

I had a look at the Navigon website and they mention partnering with Seat and BMW. If they were working with Mercedes I should think they would say so. Every new journey we take in our W212 E class is an adventure. The routine generally consists of enter destination, see what fast/quickest...

I agree with you; I dont like things stuck to the windscreen either which is why I paid over £2k for Comand in our W212. It was an easy decision to make as we have built in satnav on all our cars but the navigation is so poor I really wish I hadnt. I never realised Mercedes would have the...

I see your point but wonder whether that is because the majority of buyers dont rate the Comand system is worth the £2000+ cost. On the basis that it adds perhaps £500 to their car's resale value I would tend to agree with them. Audio 20 plus Media Interface is perhaps worthwhile but then...

Is there any advantage in buying a W212 without Comand and then retrofitting it?

Thanks - dealer confirmed last week that my car has all the latest updates so I guess will have to live with it - but not happy.

Thank you for your very informative responses re fuel consumption. I am staggered that my 350 isnt better. I dont think I have a heavy right foot and its the same right foot that regularly achieved better than published figures in my old 320 CDi In fact unless there is a good reason to press...

You say economy is a major issue. Consider this. I have a 350 CDi estate which replaced a 320CDi and based on the published fuel consumption figures for both I expected the new 350 to better the 320 by a considerable margin. Its worse. The published touring mpg on the 320 was 35 mpg and I...

Alfie - we are not discussing the merits/demerits of the latest NTG 2.5 system. The 2010 E Class Comand is NTG 4 which is not a patch on the 2003 SL Comand.

I am told it will likely come to NAV50 on the next upgrade. Comand has too many bad features to convince me it is a more cost effective option.

Hi mmhpjh - Based on my own experience with earlier versions of Comand I think I can offer some help here. I have a 2003 SL with Comand and the navigation aspects of this 7 year old satnav system are far superior to the 2010 Comand APS system in our new E class. The presentation of the data...

Thanks for this information Richard. I had this update done today together with the new 2011 database update and it looks as if there are some improvements to the system routing. Thirteen software updates and addition of an "Eco Route" option which seems to be a combination of fast and shortest...
