Hi all
Picked up the e350cdi sport coupe last week -
Iridium silver with Black and some toys - comand, HK sound, DAB, agility control, black ash wood
Now just as a point of reference we have a BMW® 335d M sport coupe in the house so i really have no allegiances to either brand
1 > Looks great in the metal - very angular - more distinctive next to the BMW® but design ?may age quicker too
2 > Interior is nice - no better and no worse then the BMW® - seats are great with multiple air pockets to adjust - rattle free so far!!.
3 > Performance of course is noticeably slower than the 335d but its not bad at all for everyday driving
4 > Steering much much lighter than in the BMW® - a feature of most mercedes models - also veers slightly to left when remove hand from wheel - again a family trait i`ve been told.
5 >Comand and HK system are excellent
6 > The balck ash wood is soooooo much nicer than the standard aluminium trim - makes the bits of chrome and aluminium around gear lever etc really stand out
7> Artico leather is fine - can`t tell the difference between this and the real stuff -certainly not work 1K+ to change.
8> As the fuel tank is either large or just under rear seats - can occasionally hear fuel sloshing about when half full at low speeds over speed bumps.
So far i am very happy with it - it is no performance demon (unlike the bmw 335d sport coupe or my previous M3) but then again its not supposed to be. Its a comfortable cruiser and with the option of slightly more spirited driving with the 'sport' button
Will pst pics later
