1998 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E review from UK and Ireland
"Goes like a Jaguar - MPG like a hatchback - the best"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Required a new BAS controller from Mercedes. This fault was fixed by the dealer when I bought it.
General comments?
I needed a car capable of good economy and with a reasonable amount of performance. I am used to driving a 2 litre 190.
This car is a tidal wave on wheels. Very economical - 30MPG round town and 37MPG on motorway. Great poise and presence. Well balanced for such a big car although, this is no GTI in handling terms.
It runs silently and smoothly as if you were driving on ice, even on the roughest of roads.
Luxuriously appointed, it gives you a feeling of first class relaxed travelling.
If you put your foot down, the car instantly responds with a discernible roar followed by a heart fluttering push in the back which just goes on and on. From 60 MPH onwards is completely awesome.
Highly recommended and totally memorable piece of kit.
