| Contrà´le technique |
| E Class is up against a lot of stiff competition in the prestige executive sector but manages to be one of the most appealing models. It has great presence, plus styling reminiscent of the top-of-the-range S Class. Indeed the E can almost match the S for gadgetry and equipment. Much of its technology is focused on making the car's handling more sporty, but it also ensures a very smooth ride. Bumps in the road hardly upset progress, even at speed. Inside there's lots of room, although taller rear seat passengers might find their heads to close the roof. The saloon's boot is massive, and the estate is a practical load-lugger. The driver has a clear dashboard and the quality of the materials in the cockpit is first class. One of the excellent turbodiesels is the sensible option, but there are lots of petrol choices, especially for those seeking high performance. |
