E-Class

Breadcrumbs

Great engine, quicker shifts with greater driver involvement.

Comfort

Not as comfortable as an E-class. But very comfortable as a sportscar
Performance

V6 is smooth and silky. Performance is exhilarating, rather than trouser-wetting.
Cool

The big star on the grille and the slight alteration to have two doors in place of four make it rather cool.
Quality

It's a Merc. What do you expect?
Handling

Engine affords you with a lot of pace, but the car's more for cruising rather than on the limit driving.
Practicality

Spacious for two, decent boot space, and capacious boot. Rear is hospitable if you are less than average height.
Running costs

It's an import so spares won't be cheap. Don't expect double digit efficiency figures.
