- E220CDI avantgarde-tansanite blue with sand-cream leather .Honda Civic, Honda Stream SESport( 160bhp
The choice has come down to either of these two.
The 240 petrol is about 1000 cheaper since it has the autobox as standard. Its depreciation is higher but only by 2.5% over 3 years.
I do about 8000 miles per year and don;t think diesel will be any more cheaper. The performance between the two is about the same 8.4 s to 8.9 s to 60mph and 177bhp approx.
With the issue of 5 cyls vs 6 cyl or V6 the 240 has 6 cyls.
The noise issue with not be a problem with 240.
Maybe will find it difficult to shift 240 than 270CDi when i come to sell it in 3 years thus higher depreciation.
E220 is reasonable but is under powered and is only about 1400 less than 270Cdi which offers best performance:cost ratio of all diesels in the range as mentioned by whatcar.
E200 is cheaper however i dont think 1,8 is enough for a heavy E class.
So it comes down to 240 or 270cdi? the 320 is out of my budget.
Which one makes sense,
