Hello all,
I suffer from migraines that are triggered by rough riding cars and low frequency noise and vibration in the cabin.
I have up to £6500 to spend on an estate and the good people at PistonHeads suggested an E Class because a smooth ride and quiet cabin are my main priorities.
I'm in Swallowfield, Berks and it seems I can get a post-2006 W211 or early W212 for my budget within a 20 mile radius. I don't mind higher fuel/tax/insurance for bigger engines if it makes things smoother and quieter.
Could people please offer their opinion on:
Here's my autotrader search:
I quite liked the sound of these two, but don't know about Avantgarde ride:
2006 E280 Elegance:
2006 E320 Avantgarde:
Many thanks.

Could people please offer their opinion on:
- Post-2006 W211 with lower mileage vs early W212 with higher mileage
- Is post-2006 really the improvement PistonHeads said?
- Which trim levels have the softest ride for W211 and W212
- I believe W211 Avantgarde is lower and stiffer than Elegance?
- I don't know much about the W212 at all
- How the engines compare for smoothness.
- I know a petrol will win, but don't mind diesel if low frequency noise/vibration is insulated from the cabin
- 4 vs 6 cylinder diesel?
