Mercedes-Benz E-Class Saloon (2009 - 2016) E220 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY SE 4d Tip Auto (2009/59) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Its a quality car without being as flash as a BMW.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Everyone who has been in it has been impressed with the car and how quiet it is.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Possibly. I am not impressed it spent a month off the road after only 5500 miles. It has now been recalled for a break problem which is not great either.

What are you likely to buy next?

Probably a 5 series or an XF.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£29,700

When did you buy the car?

September 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

I got a very good trade in on my old car which amounted to a 10% discount on the Mercedes.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I was selling an Audi A6 and did now want a new one as the design was getting a little dates. The E-Class was the most modern car in its class at the time and as I wanted an automatic it made sense.

What was the dealer like?

Service was good, I was very happy.

What's it like to drive?

On the motorway and main roads its great. I feel quite cumbersome when the roads get twisty.

What's it like to park?

Thanks to parking aid its easy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The injector system failed after 5500miles and five months. The car was in the garage for a month whilst it was repaired.

What's most practical about your car?

Big boot and lots of space inside.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I really like the radio/satnav system as it is very easy to use. Parking aid has been extremely helpful too.
