2001 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Avant Garde Estate review from UK and Ireland
"A great car that I will buy again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has not had any serious problems although I have noticed that the paint work has chipped badly on the bonnet.
A light has failed in the speedometer and this also happened on my previous car, an E300. which finally resulted in a new lighting cluster for the instruments, apparently it was not possible to replace a single bulb! I am expecting the same problem with this car.
General comments?
A great family car with loads of space and comfort.
We travel through France at least once a year and we drive the 800 miles in one day. The car is comfortable economical and extremely relaxing to drive, even when averaging high motorway speeds.
We have low profile sports tyres and are currently on our second full set that needed to be fitted at 45000 miles.
Maybe not such a good idea although they look good!
