Gents, Ladies, having now had the w212 for a few days, i must say, i do take back alot of my comments from the past.
I am sorry for putting the brand down in many of my past posts.
The last few days in the new car have been exceptional.
The car is superb, the build is superb, and the looks are very classy, and have hints of timeless design through out, and are defo not boring or a clone of a hyndai or any other brand!
The power delivery on this diesel is possibly one of the best i have experienced.
When i compare the 320cdi in our s class to this e class, the delivery of the power is significantly improved.
the s class has really gone down in my books in the last few days, and the e class is more than enough for a luxury car. the design and layout is functional and purposeful, whilst the s class seem to now just be too big for its own good!
The power delivery in my last e350 petrol was too aggresive and harsh. But in this, the power is smooth, and doesnt impact you with a growl or sudden burst, but more like a tsunami wave of power, that you feel right behind you, with out over stressing you or making you feel umcomfortable, as the w211 did.
Infact, i would not feel wrong in saying quality of the power delivery in this diesel is on par with the way the power is delivered in a roller! plenty of reserve power, but no sudden jerks just a relaxing controlled surge of power.
Fuel econony on this new engine is impressive thus far.
I have done near 350 miles and still have over a qtr tank of fuel left. This is incredible.
Overall, i give this new w212 a healthy 8/10.
I think mercedes has created a rather special car with the new e class, and now that i own one, i can see the appeal so much more than what photos and videos could ever show or how i perceived it in the past
Mercedes have not fallen short of their core values.
Anyone with the 211 will definitely see a marked jumped between the new and old!
Anyways, i hope i can make amends to anyone who felt i was insultingly rude in the past.
Good nite!
