W213 E-Class. (Although that's unlikely to be used as it's so new).
Congratulations anyway.

OK guys here my story as you guys know I tested the E 220 d ...Then I had a further test drive on Saturday ....My dad wanted me to get a GLC 220d..We drove one on Sunday then I saw a E 220d and sat inside with him and showed him all the tech he said no I wanot a GLC well I convinced him to take a E eventually...
Then I looked around and found a few on the Internet E220d and Mercedes had a special on Sunday on used cars they dropped 500 pounds anyway I found one E220d 2016 wide-screen AMG spec they wanted 34 thousand a new simalar is around 41 thousand pounds.
I negotiated yesterday and early this AM got it down to 32 thousand pounds and got a nice deal on my E 220 Coupe 2013 so did a swap deal..

Oh wow congrats fortuner, didn't expect you to get the new W213 so quickly. I have to say it is a very eye catching exterior color, and one that is not common at all. It suits the car well, especially with the AMG pack. Please keep us updated with your impression and ownership experience, I am sure a lot of us are very interested to know.

Hi Guys yeah to be honest I am still pinching myself thinking I already have the car..
My plan was to buy it mid 2017 but I guess those two test drives changed all of that plans lol.
Well so far I have done about 150 miles yesterday and Today the car is super silent for a 2 liter diesel even when you idle very quiet compared to the previous Diesel engine which I just tested today in my mom C220d.I have on my car low profile wheels so when you driving that is the only bit of noise you will hear nothing else no wind noise and when cruising you will not here the motor at all.The New engine is really a few steps ahead of the older one quieter smoother more economical and more punchy.if you want a really powerful car then you need to look at a bigger engine for my daily work and use purpose this is perfect and has enough power for Londons round abouts and freeway driving.The MPEG I got so far on 150 miles sitting at 50 mpg I have not gone over the speed limit or pushed my car although its not new I don't want to getting demerit points lol..On the Motorway I did about 80 miles yesterday was showing me 66mpg I was doing aroung 60 to 70 mph.
Gearbox 9g all I can say smoothest gearbox I have driven in trust me I don't remember a single gear change till now no harsh moves like experienced in first generation 7g.
I love the colour looks fantastic wasn't sure of it at first when I was offered the car but it looks beautifull in my opinion. Very bright and Fresh and I think suits the new E perfectly.
Interior I have black artico and suede seats not sure how I will have to care for the suede its a first time for me.looks great and the seats are super awesome and feel great on long trips as well as in the short trips driving about.
The dash and ambient lighting is just wow guys all I can say is don't ever buy a E without the widescreen it is superb the clarity is amazing and the features are just mindblowing the Navigation is like wieving maps on your tv.The amount of info you can get through the multiple screens is just amazing and the clarity is amazing.
Ambient lighting is just amazing and beautiful its just fun and looks so cool at night I know its not like a serious feature but it looks so so cool and playing with the colours is fun lol.
The ride and drive I have so far just cruised its exceptional almost S class level I think..i have normal suspension and have low profile wheels which when you hit a rough part you will feel a bit but nothing to bad or so but on the SE model you wont feel it just for those who want to know the difference..It is agile but not as agile as my moms C but very nice and easy to move around way better then the W212 in this aspect and much more agile.overall brilliant ride cant ask for better in this class and with the AMG suspension its nice mix for some fun driving when you need it. I did hammer the Demo AMG I tested and it was super responsive and agile.
So rite now I am a super happy owner and Driver of the splendid new E class.
Any dislikes let me think...Okay yeah I wish the centre console could have been the same wood grain as my doors and not the shiny black.oh and I have semi keyless why couldn't MB just make it full keyless crazy.on the positive side the key feels good in your hand and looks nice its going to have a lot of scratches sadly already has its the shiny black not like the older mat black.
Oh forgot the touchpads on the steering amazing amazing feature..First drive I didn't like it when I tested the E two weeks back..Second drive last Saturday felt better and yesterday and Today its brilliant lol just needed some time with it very very good innovation and safety feature by MB.Also I have the park finder not sure what its called I did a parking last night and I was nervous but worked like a beauty you need a bit of confidence to use it.
For now this is my story ..
