W212 E Class Interior - no flow.

[developer]

For a while now I've been trying my best to like the W212 interior, but it just doesn't flow.

Then today I was looking at Moff's lovely C class and it dawned on me.

The centre vents are the wrong way up on the W212, taking away the continuity that the C has.

I think the C steering wheel is better too.

Shame really, and the 2014 model is no better.

The C207 (E Coupe) seems to be different yet again.

John, a 204 C class pre facelift is different yet again. Uninspiring to look at, but everything just falls to had. The C207 is 204 based, and the COMAND/Audio 20 sits above the air vents.

Its a master peace ergonomics but not of flair.

Having had W212 and W207 I found both were ergonomically fine

PS The W212 Sport has that W204 steering wheel

I think the E is messy, but that's good news about the steering wheel.

I think you might be better waiting for the W213 when it comes out or getting a BMW 535d or Audi A6 Biturbo TDi 3.0.

With oppposition like that, I would not consider an E class now. As you know I have the most discerning car taste known to man, so you know this is an opinion you can trust.
