Reviewing my experience living with the Mercedes-Benz E200 CDI (W212 Facelift).
This Mercedes E-Class has been my daily driver for over 2 years and my ownership journey is coming to an end.
This video shows key features, the acceleration 0-100kph, trunk space, under the bonnet, fuel economy and I also discuss the issues I faced as well as what I love about it.
Overall, the car is great. I would recommend buying one of these but only if it is in good condition, with a good service history.
If the owner seems defective, the car probably is too!!
The best things about the car:
- The price to quality ratio. As a pre-owned car, a decent one is between 12k and 20k, depending on the year / mileage.
- The look, timeless in my opinion.
- The solid driving experience. Refined. Smooth.
- The tech is excellent for the price point. It is a high tech car for a low price as a pre-loved machine.
- Reliability. I have had no trouble with my car in the 2 years and almost 40k kms.
- Fuel economy. I got 5.4l / 100kms on motorway, 6.5 in town. Overall approx 6.0 was the average. To compare, my mate's 2014 Landrover Discovery gets 10.1 l/100km and my wife's 2012 Fiat 500 gets 5.2 l/100km
Worst things about the car:
- It is really nice. This means I can't use it to transport anything dirty (like a dog).
- It is a saloon. I cannot bring large items in the rear. Rear seats do not fold.
- Maintenance is VERY important to be done on a car like this to keep the mechanical gremlins at bay. Maintenance from Mercedes Benz is quite expensive.
Key facts about my ownership:
- Bought November 2019 for €15950. I traded in a 2012 VW Golf 1.2 Auto and paid the balance.
- Sold December 2021 for €12500.
- Serviced twice, costing €350 and €450 each.
- New tires, €800.
- Brake pads, €300.
- Air Conditioning re-gas €60.
- New battery €290.
- Other than the above (standard maintenance on a car with this mileage) there were no other issues whatsoever.
Any questions, please put them below. Cheers!
