Latest E class, lots of 200/220, not 250 ???

The first 4-pot W212's are only just being delivered with the 7G-Tronic Plus autobox. If you're looking at used cars they will have the 5-speed 'box.

Same with the 204 facelifts. Saw one today in the dealer.

The 204 is nicer inside IMHO with the facelifted interior than the 212 and the seating, in my mind, is nicer in the C class. The seats for my build are better and more supportive.

The V6s are lovely engines and on the used market a used E350cdi will have a useful saving over a new one, and worth going for. They'll spin their wheels up, but also make low speed wafting more pleasant.

I was lucky enough to get a look at and sit in a facelift C a couple of weeks ago and the interior is definitely a massive step up from the pre-facelift W204. Having ordered a W212 though, I'll have to dispute that it's nicer inside than the E-Class

Fair do, both are lovely but the 204 for my build jst feels better, particularly the seating, which on the loan car I found that good. Was sat in a 204 and got it perfect and comfy in minutes.
