It had to be done. Mercedes content
« on: 01 April 2017, 20:10:07 »


I've owned my current Omega Elite Estate for around 11years, thought it was time for a change, the posts on this forum have helped somewhat in making my choice so today I purchased a Mercedes E class estate.. It's a 3ltr oil burner and its pretty nippy  :D

I'll shortly have my Omega up for sale in a few weeks if anyone is interested..
I've enjoyed my time on this forum and don't intend to stop contributing where I can..

Nice choice  :y

E-Class is probably one of the best Estates around I think  :)

Its a mix of electric and manual, I tried to find one with the memory seat option but there hard to find. Unlike the Omega elite with every option ticked there is so much in the Mercedes that are optional extras and probably expensive ones at that.

So that is still the case then. Interesting. I had brand new company C Class Merc estate back in 1997 and I was amazed that I had to fit my own radio. No radio was supplied, although the speaker system was installed. It was like going back to my first brand new Ford Escort Mk1, when you had to fit your own radio. But then no position in the dashboard was available for one.

So pay a premium for a Merc and then have to fork more for the toys. But I would have one anyday ;)

They don't seem to do model with all the toys already installed (unlike the Elite) I expect the price would put people off. This one has a lovey big sat nav screen with voice recognition but no reversing camera, again that would appear to be an option, you can get one fitted but there around £400.

Those blue efficiency models are pretty good. Over 700 miles from a tank on a run.......according to Mercedes.

Most diesels will crack that  :y

Done couple of 720's to fuel light on with VW, current tank was 410 to half a tank on a run up norf. Sadly now I'm back on the commute it's dropped back off.

Think if I did whole tank of motorway, could get 850  :)
